I don't know where we're going, but we know where we are? (Part whatever)

(((Grandeod))) Stay happy. You are doing all you can and that means so much to so many. A kind face and a box of goodies given with loving kindness .. Gives that small ray of hope, a bright candle in a dark world.

There have been years for me when Christmas was a bleak dark time and someone doing what you do was a lifebelt. Literally. And they never realised.

For decades before that I had been with a strong Church and had been privileged to help as you are doing. Taking gifts to old folk who rarely saw a human face and were struggling. I did not realise then how much that small giving did.

Easier now thankfully - but you never forget, and never stop being deeply thankful. For the angels. Like you. A ray of hope..

My neighbour will , thankfully, never know what he did for me only a few years back, when I looked out to see a pair of legs under a huge box of goodies walking up the driveway. lol..I was new here then. And still able - just- to go over and shop. But that someone cares enough to do as you are doing? Lights up the world

Now it is essential, and the security and peace you take will feed more than the body.

Out here the Gaeltacht and other groups take good care of us old wans... once they know us. It has been even more so this year.

(((HUGS))) And take care of you too. Lighting a candle of hope is a strong and lovely thing to do.

Ah not not ever an addict to illegal drugs. But yes . to big doses of prescription tranx prescribed on a massive misdiagnosis for 30 years And that was a battle..with no medical help. I have severe M.E/CFS .. Once that was finally realised by a top consultant who no one could argue with I took full responsibility and spent a year getting myself off all meds ... then left the UK. For ever..Fresh start. That was over 20 years ago and now I am finally living where I always wanted to be... Small offshore island with as many rescued cats as i can fit in! Life now is fine and fair and good. Enough of a challenge to keep me alert... And yes, deep peace. My only regret ... so few years left! There are a lot of online support groups. I had huge telephone help from a group called Involuntary Tranquilliser Addiction. As there is with M.E/CFS. A lovely online group called " Phoenix Rising"

Been asked to write a book!

From my cat to your cat!
