Hi all,

Well, Rebecca, I've been away for a couple of days and I just got around to this thread. Sorry I'm late. :(

I only have this to say: when you feel the way you have been, lately, come here. Come here and talk to us. We'll listen. There are souls here who can cheer you up or who can shed a tear with you. You're not alone, even though you may feel that way (even in your own house).

I've missed you. Please, Rebecca, don't ever hesitate to post here (for fear of allegedly "bringing everyone down") or to PM me. I don't necessarily respond instantly, but I do (and will) reply.

Take care of yourself. Image

Love,
CJ

Hi Girls,

CJ,

As always, fantastic to hear from you, thankyou for replying. You are right, sometimes when I look at some of the stress of the good folks here, I do feel a little hesitant at posting. However, I also know instinctively that you are also correct in how everyone rallies round for each other. It's what makes this such a wonderfull place to be. OUCH!! Iv'e just slapped my hand to scold myself for hiding. Now...that'll teach me!!!!! I do know however that Iv'e been in need of support recently far more than I am able to give it. Having said that should anyone be in real need of support, I will always have something to give, it's the larger picture of life that is scaring me so much of late. Things will settle eventually, I am sure.

Yesterday was very very stressfull, ~D~ and myself always try to find some personal time together each day to compare, console, connect whatever. By ten last night, I was at the end of my tether and we still hadn't had a moment alone all day. Then I stumbled on a forum from my home town whilst searching for some history on a project i am doing. OUCH!! again, Iv'e just spilt a cup of coffe over myself. Typical!
Anyway...erm...Oh yeah, I read a few topics on this local forum and it totally depressed me. Do I really live in a town that is so retarded in it's views???
I know that's probably unfair to a lot of people in town, but some of this old school thinking was scary.

Eventually ~D~ and me got some time to ourselves and I managed to settle down, today has been a lot steadier, if still frustrating.

Again I must say a big thankyou to everyone who has replied to my posts of late, by and large, I have held onto them as an anchor point in the last few weeks.

I haven't the time or the clear head to do this forum justice of late, but it certainly is way up high on my list of things I would like to sort. So, I am here if anyone ever needs a little support or whatever.

I remember many many years ago getting a letter from a girl in which she signed off saying 'be beautiful always'

And that's how I'd like to finish this post tonight, to each and every one of you

BE BEAUTIFUL ALWAYS *^^*

Individually and collectively, a beacon of light in this crazy world.

Love
Rebecca xxx @->->-
Be good, Be safe, Be happy.
