[QUOTE="nlj, post: 666592, member: 17650"] Hi Echo This reminds me of a song... 'Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away Now it seems as though they're here to stay...Now I need a place to hide away' I got home from a peaceful far-away holiday in Ireland at 3 a.m. yesterday. The light was flashing on my answerphone. One message from my son, depressed, life's too hard, etc, etc. One message from my mother's man-friend, he'd found her collapsed on the kitchen floor and had phoned an ambulance. Bam! This morning I checked on here to catch up and saw your post. Maybe we both need a time-machine and then we could repeatedly go back to the day before yesterday and never have to face what comes next. My cat's happy though. She's been following me around and sitting on my lap in case I disappear again. She wouldn't want me to get a time-machine. So, what now? Take a deep breath, do some yoga, make a pot of tea, face what comes next. It all passes. Things will be different again by this time next month. They always are. It might be tempting to go backwards, but then who knows what else is around the corner? Take a deep breath Echo, do some yoga, make a pot of tea in a proper teapot, face the next instalment and wait and see what happens. We've done it plenty of times already haven't we? What's the worst that could happen? Probably nothing worse than we've already got through. And yes... doing nothing is the most productive thing that you could do. x [/QUOTE]
