    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

    Glad to hear the meds are starting to work for you WF - and hoping it won't be too long before you start to feel better physically.

    Must admit if feels kind of a relief to hear that it was the spam button being pressed that got your last diary deleted.... made me feel sick to think that someone had complained about it, although I couldn't think what they would have complained about!

    Take care of yourself. XX
    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
