Are you having trouble sleeping?
Sleep problems may be caused by how you’re feeling emotionally, or as part of the side effects for cancer treatment. If you find it hard to have a good sleep, you’re not alone. The Online Community is here to support you 24/7.
“Getting a cancer diagnosis is extremely stressful, and that brings a whole load of emotions, and lack of sleep certainly does not help. I think many of us have periods of insomnia. I experienced a long period of not sleeping. I could go off to sleep quite quickly, but after an hour I would find myself wide awake again, and would spend the rest of the night getting frustrated because I couldn't sleep."

A beauty, Linda is it another azalea?
Fun facts: azaleas live between 50 to 100 years, although they can live much longer when pruned back after the flowers have dropped off. A Chinese province claims one at 262 years old.
The dodgy bit is they're highly toxic if consumed, especially by animals. I guess you already knew about that though.
You've certainly got a glorious garden there my lovely xxx
It is another azalea Gill this one isn’t scented and I planted it about 10 years ago. This is the best time of year for my garden the soil is acidic so azaleas and rhododendrons like it. Richmond Park is fairly close to us and Isabella Plantation which is in the middle of the park is full of really old azaleas and rhododendrons. It’s absolutely beautiful this time of year…look it up on google its gorgeous.
