    :D Out for the day, taking MIL of 91 years old to see her 89 year old sis and we shall all go to lunch. My SIL is coming with us too. It is quite a journey but will be well worth it. :D

    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    I am so very happy today. I started a book group today run by a counsellor and ive met some lovely people. I cannot wait to go back. We read a passage of a book and we spoke about what the piece ment to us, the charectors etc and all sorts of topics came out of it and peoples ideas on the same peice read was different. It was brilliant and thought provokeing. Also two poems where discused. It brought different emotions out. Just fantastic. :D:D

    I also have had an assesment for exercise theropy and i have discounted gym and swim for 3 months and the man who essested me was a great listener and i felt i will love it there and i have my first actual session tomorrow in the gym. The paper work and chat was today. :D:D

    They handled stillbirth so differently then didn't they? You poor thing, what a thing to face but, 34 years later, that sad day is now marked by joy. That is a good thing. Congratulations! DD

    I really hope you get to see him in person very soon, here are some gentle hugs (((((())))) for you, have they picked a name yet, please let us know.
    You take care of yourself
    Love

    Congratulations on the birth of your grandson, Berty. That is lovely news for you.

    I am so sorry to hear about the baby you lost, and how strange that your grandson was born almost to the hour.

    I had my first gym session today. Sam the instructor was so careful to check i was not over doing anything.
    He chose five pieces of equipment for me and i only could do four. He took me off it as my elbows hurt so much useing it. I now have a training program to follow in the gym. and i felt pain free after so i know it is set at right level.
    He said to give him a ring if i am in pain next day and he would adjust it. : :D
    I have my first ever counselling appointment tomorrow. I have not let the nurse know yet as i will see how tomorrow goes. joanne

    :D Back home from a very early start this morning. Shopping done too. :D Sun is shining so there will be a full washing line soon :D Hubby at home, so that is something to be cheerful about :D because that means a bit more on the decorating of the hall and landing will be done :D Probably will not be on here today as all the doors will be taped up as plastering and sanding of the walls will be in progress 8) :lol:

    My reason for being cheerful today is.....

    Last night I had a dream about a friend I had lost contact with.
    We had met in the summer of 2000 in London and travelled together for a few months and had a great time. When it came time for her to return back to Quebec she took my home address and I took her email address. Every now and then I received a card or letter from her but I couldn't return the favour as I didn't have her address and she had never written it on the back of the envelope. To make it worse I had taken down her email address incorrectly so eventually we lost contact...

    So last night I dreamt about my friend and figured out (while still asleep!) what her correct email address must be. When I woke up I tried this new version and hey! She has already replied!! :D:D

    I can't believe my luck!
