Xmas Thoughts

So well written Ellie. Thank you and everyone on this forum for helping me through some of the darkest times. 
There are some Christmas lights for you. 

Hi Ellie, my friend, another wonderful poem, reminding us all what the forum is really about, a place we can stand together with friends, and know we aren't alone when times are hard, thanks Ellie.

Lovely words of wisdom Ellie!

Hi How you doing

Hi Ellie, As usual you just tell it like it is and as always you are Spot On.

I think without the support of this group, it would be difficult to keep on keeping on!

Hi Stella, That looks lovely, where is it?

It is in front of the BBC broadcasting house. You can probably see the antenna just behind the church.

Hope your husband’s procedure goes well today. X

I read posts most days and find them helpful and uplifting . Thankyou for the poem it came at the right time for me . Made me think and be grateful. This is the Christmas I didn’t think I’d see and I’m grateful for this . However I’m struggling a bit with  how I’m supposed to feel I want to be happy and festive get in the spirit of things but I find myself crying and feeling anxious about the approaching festivities, I  Lost  my brother a few weeks ago and even though we didn’t live near it seems strange not to talk to him  when I want to . Any suggestions of strategies  for dealing with these negative feelings will be greatly appreciated. 
probably a kick up the backside is called for..
On a lighter note and to help buck my ideas up I am going to my youngest son and family on Christmas Day this breaks with the usual tradition of every one coming to me . No stressing over the shopping and cooking . YES !
They have young children so I’m sure it will be a good day. 
may I take this opportunity to wish each and everyone of you a good Christmas and keep posting as nosy people like me will read it even if we don’t contribute. X Chris 

Hi

I am glad you read post's and you do not have to comment, though you have today, appreciated.

There is no real answer to how one should fill, we are all human and all have our own way of dealing with things.

I have down days, do not get me wrong, though i do  one day ay a time, today is a good day, sun is shinning.

I play my music every day it helps me get threw, as I am on my own now, not threw  choice,   passed.

I try not to worry about my cancer, I cannot change anything, though I always want to know what the next step is.

I had a big operation end of September, I was told i may not make it, I did.

I am grateful as my younger brother got a dx of cancer and I am here to support him, as going threw treatment right now.

Just getting it out in the open on how you fill, is a release, like having counselling.

You will have a lovely Christmas and children thats what it is all about.

I am glad you posted, do not be a stranger.

If a crap day today, tomorrow will be better, thats how  i look at it.
