This is going to be a very brief note - simply to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has written blog comments and sent me PMs after my Dark Night blog about Thursday / Friday.
So many of you have been to the same places I went to - and, I guess, I will go there again - but, with your help, next time I will be ready to fight the demons, beat the beggers and get out the other side. Last night - Friday / Saturday - I slept well once I turned in. I only woke up in the night because I needed to ;-)
This morning, up and about early enough to catch the second and third qualifying sessions of the Grand Prix in China. Thank you internet - I don't have a TV.
Today, I feel so much happier, brighter and - wait for it - I might even go shopping!!!!!!!!!
Much love to everyone

Hi Steve
I just read your previous entry and I can truly image what you were feeling. I was diagnosed with advanced bowel cancer in March. Even though I was expecting it at some point in my life (my father and grandmother both had it), I hadn't quite expected to get the news at 36. At times I get angry at myself for feeling morbid, but then I remind myself it's a perfectly natural reaction. On the other hand, I feel certain I'm going to kick cancer's butt!! Most of all, I worry about my partner, friends and family that I may leave behind. I say 'may', because positivity goes a long way to beat this horrible disease (that and the surgery/chemo of course!).
I'm glad you feel better and wish you the very best with your treatment going forward..oh, and treat yourself at the shops...there's a lot to be said for a bit of retail therapy ;-)
I am so glad that you are having a better day today. 'The sun comes up tomorrow' is a motto I have just made up for myself. It is raining on Peter today but, see what tomorrow brings. Have a good shop!! I love this website, I sleep better now than I have done for years because I am no longer afraid of speaking about feelings...........Ta guys.
