    I was wondering that as well. Hope all is OK.
    I Believe.....
    That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
    Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

    Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.

    happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
    but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy

    I am missing you. A lot. And that's weird because I don't actually know you. But there it is. Even a post to say you are not up to posting. Okay that doesn't make sense, but you know what I mean. Sending hugs.

    Thank you all so much for your comments.

    I have been quite ill since breaking up. My stomach just has swollen up to the point of not being able to move. This evening I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Still in shock.

    I'm in hospital waiting for my stomach to be drained then will start chemo.

    I hope you are all ok. I will be back soon.
