One of my friends passed away on Boxing Day she had pancreatic cancer but she did have longer than they said she would.I was hoping she would get out just till after Christmas  because she loved Christmas.At least her family was with her and she had those extra years.

On a happier note my Daughter and chap have put a offer on a house which is accepted.

so now I can help them with there new house.

I have to say to Daloni I have downloaded that app for meditation today.I was having trouble with sleeping and tried sleeping tablets but did not get on with them so went to the nurse at my gp she said stop them I said I would like to try meditation for sleep.She said have you heard of head space and remembered Daloni I wish I had done it before.It is the first time I have slept for ages.i feel so much  better.Now I just need to get a bit more exercise and lose some weight so myself and my daughters have decided a couple times a week to go swimming there is a late only women class at our leisure pool so tire myself out before I go to bed.thats the plan anyway.

on that note I might just try for another nap now.

  • So sorry you have lost a friend at Xmas it's bad enough at any time of year but at this time of year it's worse at least she did live longer than expected and had her family around her lots of love and supportxxxxxxxxx

    I'm so sorry for your loss, very sad for you but good to know your friend was with family and had had more time with them. 

    I hope things go smoothly with the new house, very exciting.

    Good to hear the meditation helped you sleep, you've reminded me to give it a go. Good luck with your diet and exercise plan, that all sounds very positive.

    Hi

    I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. To have reached a personal milestone and die peacefully with our family around us is all we can hope for. Please accept my condolences. 

    I am glad you’ve found Headspace’s app so helpful and so quickly. I hope it’s not a one off! Meditation has helped me in so many ways, primarily by helping me to address anxiety and appreciate each moment. So when people ask me how I cope with, say, scanxiety, I say that I don’t treat it as a thing. I approach it by managing my anxiety overall. 

    Your health kick sounds great. I do hope you’ll start to feel the benefits really quickly. 

    Lots of love xxx

  • I'm so sorry about your friend but it's good as others have said, she had some extra time and her family around her.

    It's great your daughter and partner have secured a house. I take it the house is relatively near you, when you will be able to help! Maybe that will help you sleep too as there's always a lot to do when you move house and I'm sure your daughter will appreciate your help!  Yes Headspace is a good app and the fact it has helped you so quickly is great, long may it continue! Enjoy your new regime at your leisure centre without overdoing it!

    Love Annette x
