It is lovely to have somewhere where we can just 'let loose' and everyone understands and no one judges. To all - have a Wonderful New Year- 2010- I am going to make darn sure I do and I hope and pray for many more. Thank you beautiful friends my thoughts and prayers are with you. Cats - here goes - meeeeeeeeeeeow xxxxx

This is my first post. 2009 is without doubt the worst year of my life. I will be alone for new year, but I will hopeful that 2010 is better... I lost a lot this year. The diagnosis and treatment has been hard, everything is different. I also lost my relationship. As a single parent I struggle with finding time to look after me in between looking after my son and working. I had to go back to work full time 4 weeks after treatment and it was too soon. The fatigue just won't go away.

Decided to post this here rather than just with the Writer's Group as i wondered whether others experienced the sentiments.Or whether I am just being dramatic as my 20 year old always claims? Sailor I must acknowledge you as I used your shadow metaphor - it seemed the most apt -basically I couldn't think of a better one! ANyway - here goes. (As usual the formatting changed slightly when I transferred it from Word to here.) A Plea to others Please accept me for who I have become. Please accept that my life now has a sense of urgency that previously didn’t exist.

First of all, I want to wish everyone here a Merry Christmas. And for those who are grieving, I am sorry for your pain. After losing a loved one during the year ourselves, Christmas isn't really the same without them.

Hi Everyone Thanks for all your thoughts, support, advice and sharing this year. Take care and have a really lovely Christmas - Eat, drink and be merry...........today is for being happy and having fun......!! All the best for the New Year too. I am going to deal with tomorrow when it comes and just relax with my family and laugh a lot - and drink some too......:>) You are all in my thoughts today. Stay safe and take care. Best wishes, Willow
