Welcome

Hi Everyone,

It really is amazing how life can change in an instant. We really really do have to live this life while we can. But you know what? I said all this when I lost a very close friend a few years ago.....I told myself that I was going to change and live my life better and take more time out for what I want to do. And you know what, I didn't...I continued to work and continued to put everyone elses needs and wants before my own. Kris keeps telling us that we should worry about US now and let everyone else fall into place, that I am the most important person in my life ! How do you change your way of thinking ? How do I put myself in front of everyone else after I have put them ahead of me all this time?

I really want to do something good with my life now more than ever. What can I do to make a difference?.....not only in my life, but in others too. I want to help people....I think I would like to be involved in helping the future us !!  Is that a good idea or a bad one?.....will it just keep bringing me back to a time that I should try to forget?

But then again, how can I forget it?  I am scarred for life so I am constantly going to be reminded anyway !   And WHY would I want to forget it all as I have made such wonderful wonderful friends during this time.

Sue.....I am so sorry to hear that you have to take another unexpected trip up to your mothers. I really hope everything works out well for you.

Sharon.....I don't think I will go to the funeral either...All a bit to close to home I think. Maybe just take some time out during the morning to stop and think about her. A minutes silence and have a little cry no doubt.....mmmmm........ I don't know......I guess I will just wait and see how I feel tomorrow. For some reason I feel like I should go....ahhhh...... I don't know !!

Anyways....take care everyone.......I am off to Sydney over the weekend. Going shopping, then off to see Mary Poppins, out for dinner and a few wines, then shopping again on Sunday before heading home and back to real life.

See you all soon.................Luv Karen x x x
