Dearest Dearest Beanielou
Been AWOL again since before Easter, the roller coaster of life, but was has drawn me back and whose diary I have read first - yours. So many challenges in life and there you are still being
AMAZING and AWESOME
I am also wanting to say a huge cheer for all those VF who have made wonderful supportive comments - I kept nodding my head in agreement.
From one CP plodder to another lots of hugs.
Finally the last few posts, just want to send much love and thoughts to you and all concerned. Sadly we have had similar tragedy in our community this week, although not known we can all be mindful of those who are effected.
Hope feline friends and family give comfort and joy this weekend. Joy can live hand in hand with sadness xx
Much love BM xxx

Ps who hopes not to disappear again
I have been thinking of you lots.
I feel neither awesome nor amazing.
I feel flat & deflated.
I won’t say defeated.
Hope all is well with you. XxxI am a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Mortgage Free Wannabe & Local Money Saving Scotland & Disability Money Matters.

I understand that you don’t feel awesome and amazing
I understand you feel flat and deflated.
It’s ok to feel that way. I think it’s important to acknowledge and accept other people’s feelings.
So may I gently say to you - that like sadness and joy - the two can be side by side.
I acknowledge you are grieving and sad and life as your diary journey shows has had several demanding challenges and guess what
You are still standing ( and yes you can roll your eyes at me as you are still going out and about on two feet and every day risk falling over but you get back up again )
You are loved by so many in VL and RL and I hope even if you can’t feel ( both mentally and physically ) full of the joys of life, that you can be comforted and find a ray of sunshine to warm you from all those who love you back for who you are xAs a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or

Morning Beanie
Really sorry to read you're feeling flat and deflated
I hope the chanting brings you some peace and helps you to feel more balanced about things in general.
Shame you can't do anything about the FB until later in the year, but I suppose it gives you time to think about what you want to carry on doing and what you don't.
Have a lovely afternoon with your friends. xx0
