    I agree, this year has been awful. We have suffered through Job losses , relationship break ups. huge unexpected bills which wiped out our savings and then of course without the buffer everything broke, cars, wash machines, heating, plumbing even the cat (got better you will be glad to know, Vet still does not know what was wrong with him) massive family dramas resulting in arrests/court appearances with huge associated fall out. Its been horrible.

    That being said it still had some wonderful moments and i have to remember to look for them - even the small ones like taking the puppy out at four in the morning, looking up to see the wind had cleared the clouds and stars went on forever bright and beautiful. It was so spectacular it took my breath away.

    Walking in the park and seeing the leaves in all their colour. Watching the Puppy play with happy wild abandon as well as curling up with a purring cat who is content and warm and the feeling communicates to you...
    Please note I have a cognitive disability - as such my wording can be a bit off, muddled, misspelt or in some cases i can miss out some words totally...
