    Thank you my lovely readers.

    A strange day today.
    One of my close friends is moving next week & I have seen her for the last time before she moves.
    I know we will keep in touch & still see each other but it wont be the same.
    My heart hurts :(:(:(

    It’s a shame you can’t see yourself as we all see you. You are a lovely, lovely lady and there is no plate you haven’t already ‘stepped up to’.

    Take care you Xx

    This
    I agree! You are so hard on yourself Beanie. You achieve so much against great odds. You never stop plodding now matter what the odds, and look at the lovely DS you have raised.

    And this ... Couldn't agree more.

    Sorry about your friend x

    May I echo what others have already said - that voice isn't seeing you as we all do. Also, is there anyone you can talk to about it? People are telling me that I've noticeably changed over the last few months and a lot of that is from having had some counselling and begun to wriggle free of old patterns and voices.

    Sorry to hear your friend is moving. I hope it turns out your heart doesn't need to hurt so much.

    Sorry to hear you're feeling down Beanie. I imagine it's been quite a hard week for you, dealing with the charity winding up and now your friend moving away.

    I've only been on here a short while but already it's obvious what a kind person you are and how you genuinely feel for other people who find themselves in difficult circumstances. We're all very lucky to have you. xx

    Beanie you are amazing , always have time for everyone on here ,helpful when needed. If I was coming to Scotland in my own car at Easter I would have done the 70 miles and come to see you .

    I think this week has been all downs rather than ups , I hope you have a good snow free weekend.
