Hi guys!:santa2:

and a very

to you all!

Well guys, we made it!

For today, it's Christmas ~ a time to remember, to smile brightly even if for a moment or too, a time to count blessings and wish them for others, for celebrating and grieving, to be surrounded by family and friends and to be alone, a time to give and receive, for hurting and healing and...wait a minute...

I look at everything I just wrote and I realise that this thread is like that 365 days a year! How blessed am I?!

Never think for a minute that any of you are alone, that there aren't answers and that a tomorrow won't come. You're survivors and you show the courage of brave hearts and kind words. God bless you all.:A
It's amazing to think that across the country, a whole family of strangers are connected and thinking of each other - and to me, that's the miracle of both the Christmas spirit and of MSE.

To those of you facing today in all the forms that it can come, old and new, please keep believing in yourselves. Raise a glass to those absent loved ones and to those yet to come. And however your day goes, claim some time for yourself - just to celebrate the fact that inspite of everything, you're here and that in so many ways you make a real difference to other people.

So, I thank you all for the best gift of all ~ love. Thank you all for being there with me, and for me, and when I haven't felt strong enough, beside me. And thank you all for letting me have the privilege of sharing a part of your lives. Be kind to yourself guys - I'm thinking of you all. Have the best day that you can have.
Much Love,
Tiff xxx

Hope you all do better than me.

Hello my lovlies! :santa2: Just wanted to say Happy Christmas to you all - regulars, irregulars and lurkers one and all! :rudolf:

Sorry i've not been around of late, this year's been a bit of a struggle one way or another. On the plus side though, thanks to support from Tiff and my friends on here, it'll be nearly a year ago that I plucked up the courage to start counselling, and I have kept it going too. Don't get me wrong, it's been really hard. But it was undoubtedly the best thing I ever did and to anyone considering the same, I would definitely recommend it. I also met some very special people this year, whom I know will be part of my life forever - so 2007 was definitely worth it for that xxx :kisses3:

What I also wanted to say was that I received a Christmas card from the Mental Health Foundation and I found what was printed on the front quite helpful, so thought I'd share it in case it might help anyone else:

"Ways to look after your mental health this Christmas -

• keep in touch with friends and loved ones
• care for others
• drink sensibly
• eat well
• keep active
• accept who you are
• ask for help
• make time for yourself"

- seems like good advice.

And last, but by no means least, I'd like to wish

a very Happy Birthday
:bdaycake:

to my dearest friend Tiffy!

Thank you for all your tireless help and support hun, not just for me but for everyone. Hope you're having a wonderful day sweetheart. :happyhear

OK, that's about it from me for now. I'm off to kiss Santa under the mistletoe! :kisses2:

I will definitely be around here more after the new year - so you have been warned!

Much love to you all, as always,
Sazzyxxxxxxxxx
