If you are talking about Gazan famine that is not politics that is murder. This man is destroying Israel.2

I’m sorry you’re feeling angry Beanie. Be kind to yourself and remember anger is one of the stages of grieving…..I know you’ve lost several friends relatively recently. You’re having a tough time with everything that’s going on. Hang on in there. Life is so unfair at times and some seem to get more than their fair share. Wish I was closer to come and have a cuppa with you 🫖☕️🍪🧁.January spends - £587.586

Beanie, Angel Hugs. xx
Had an early birthday lunch with DS & Gf today.Can’t believe that that they drove all that way for lunch. I drove to the nearest city.
They travelled to see you because you are worth it. Hope the lunch has made happy memories.
I have never met you in person, but messaged on and off your thread. In my mind I can see you like Tigger bouncing. Bouncing along your journey of life. Just try to miss a few of the pot holes in the road. Maybe be pull over for a while a quick pitstop/service check and watch the clouds/stars with your cats. Then breathe, blow the cobwebs away, let the cats eat the spiders.
Birthday wishes n cat kisses, If in doubt with lifes journey, You can always follow my emergency plan. Put your big girls knickers on. Smile and Fake it.
