Awww Satchmo feel so sorry for you - it’s hard to get your head around the madness of it all. 💔💔What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.4

Cuppatea I decided I was ready to have a blood test and face anything that I needed me to change. It came back with lots of good things - like I’m not pre diabetic - but I had both high cholesterol and C reactive protein. These had been low in the past. To be honest, I have a pretty good diet so I’ve upped my exercise by joining the gym (turns out I love it! ) and trying to up my AFDs. I am going to retest in mid September. I’m going to try really hard not to end up on statins.Good luck with your blood tests - hopefully they’ll come back good - if not change is possible!ShaggyxxWhat do we do when we fall?

2/20 for me today please.
This may sound like a strange thing to say, but I went to a lovely funeral today. The lady was in her mid 80s, and her family were with her as she passed. The church was packed to the gills, the musicians were on top form and everyone sang the well-known hymns with gusto. I've noticed that my singing has improved considerably since gaining lung power from learning to play the saxophone.What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?6 -
It’s not odd at all Satchmo…. I have been to many “enjoyable” funerals- seeing family and friends you haven’t seen for ages, catching up, supporting each other… I have to take my hat of to my family over the years they have learned how to throw a great funeral…. My father’s was amazing- he was religious so the church was packed, we had a string quartet and a choir and a lovely get together in the church hall … such a comfort… my sister in laws was amazing last October too. Packed again. They have set the bar high - there is no way there’ll be that many people at my funeral 😂What do we do when we fall?

Maman I’m sorry to read your DH was in hospital. I hope he is well now. I definitely drank more because of my sister in laws breast cancer diagnosis. It’s a coping mechanism even if it can be destructive… perfectly understandable really…. Just trying to keep a lid on it so I could fight another day was my aim….breast cancer is the pits…What do we do when we fall?
