Thank you, Nancy, for these inspiring and comforting words. It helps me to be reminded of the obvious (?) , that I’m hardly alone in my suffering – I seem to see many less alone people around me and in the media, living in a ( seemingly) very cheerful way with , for example , their children, closer family , grandchildren etc, saying how much they enjoy being Mums etc,( there seems to me to be a lot of flaunting going on, unless it’s just in my mind….and a lot of shallowness) which I’m not , haven’t chosen to be but still have pain around that, and also have some painful issues with my mother, some of which came up yet again recently. True self love seems very challenging and difficult…when we crave love and positive strokes from others. I hope joy is coming , it’s about time and i’m wondering when! although i do have ups and downs and more good times than i was having. a haircut and colour that made me feel a million dollars helped quite a lot !! thanks to Vanessa , my gorgeous and kind hairdresser who seems committed to making her clients feel good about themselves. Here’s to hope, faith and joy , and love …and kindness to ourselves
