Heyy S It astounds me and worries me to the amount of people that are around that arent coping. Only because i hate to see people suffer but then i also believe that there is something wrong with so many people being let lose when all is not well in this particular area. I have seen people so depressed that it has affected their treatment. Something needs to be done and earlier intervention needs to occur imho. Julie xo ... View more

Heya S ... how great that things are looking up for you!! Sometimes we have to change habits aswell, least i find i have to change my way of thinking and reacting. I shared with my son that i wanted grandies and he told me i have to wait. haha Ah well, life is good and am so glad you are feeling better. hugsss Julie xo ... View more

Hey larn I can relate to the umbilical cord thing. My poor son just raises his eyebrows and mutters "mum" and i tell him "just let me be a mum for bit longer and tomorrow you can be a young man again" haha Tis our standing joke and i also tell him i need to let go of the apron strings gently ... or i need time to get used to not being a mum. Course he knows i am joking although a little bit serious about it all. We will never stop being mum's. Julie xo ... View more

Hey cats It is a spammer that has left a post with a web address on it ... it is just some unknown who either wants traffic to a particular website or could be more insidious a virus. The post has been removed for your protection. :) Julie xo ... View more

Hey Vinouche How wonderful your post is in so many ways. Of course i am not referring to the fact that you are depressed. Wonderful you have sought help, that your mum sent you a message to "react"against the depression, that your daughter and granddaughter will be nearer to you, that you son is starting to have huge realisations ... wow!! Amazing how one small step can spread far and wide into our lives. :) I had a funny experience recently. A woman came into my sil's shop and i was there helping out. This woman started staring at me and then all of a sudden started saying all these things. There is no way she could have known and a bit difficult to explain here via writing but it was spooky in some ways and yet not in others. She said that my sil's mother was at the shop and she actually named her and then other members of the family ... too much information that was correct for her not to be genuine and also i had never met her before in my life. Very spinny but in a nice way. I have struggled a bit during my recovery for some direction and have done a few things that i never thought i would but it has provided me with a distraction and purpose and now as i get better i am looking for more of a purpose. It is difficult to find something that fits in with where we are at, so that is particularly nice that your daughter and gd is going to be near to you. My son has been terribly confronted over my diagnosis and he has had to grow up in a very short space of time and he was suffering from depression before all of this. Luckily for me he has actually walked forward with things and is actually on a far better track than he was before. He now has his licence and gets himself to work and he is working longer. Although cancer does cause a lot of angst and sadness ... as with anything bad there is always good. 🙂 May we all be able to see some of that good. Julie xo ... View more

haha re hindsight ... how boring it would be!! Totally agree with you there. Havent seen the movie but i think robots sound like they would fit in with boring. :D Am sure everything is fine with my arm ... just old age and treatment and one of those things. I like to keep busy too, larn ... keep my mind occupied and like to try new things. Am even going to have a go at doing some coding for a website, not that it is really tough coding to do (or so i have been told). Omgosh and good on you!!! Hey Hawaii sounds wonderful ... wow ... you will been hula'ing everywhere and we will be thinking lots of hula thoughts for you. That is a huge step and wonderful for you. Are you going with friends or by yourself? I had plans of going on a holiday and that has just been put on the back burner for a bit ... well a long time if i am honest. 🙂 Thats ok though and its all good. Now i have visions of you in a grass skirt and doing the hula. Good one, larn!! ... View more
