@beanielou I'm all caught up with your diary and am in awe at your achievements, the contribution you make to the world and simply who you are. The confusing thing is that you don't see it. Maybe one day you'll listen to your posse of devoted admirers and see what a light you shine. Love Humdinger xx5

I really really don’t shine a light. Sadly I am a burden to those who love me the most.

no. I think when times are rough all of us think that. I know I have many a time. But actually those who genuinely love us, do just that. And sometimes just keeping go, with chin up is the very best we can do and that inspires others. You might be just surprised how much that inspires others. Sending lovebeanielou said:

Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!7 -

I'm another disagreeing with your self-assessment. We all value you greatly here, we aren't just a pity-party for you, we see your strength and your worth, truly.beanielou said:
