Ditto!!

You know life sucks sometimes and I just can't understand why so many bad things happen to good people. Please tell me, because there's got to be a lesson in there somewhere.

I'm so sorry you are hurting and I wish there was something I could do or say to make you feel better

OK - I don't want to sound to corny here, this really is from the heart.

PT gives me hope.

This place is like a refuge for me. Thank-you, each and everyone of you for being there when any of us needs cheering up, or a shoulder to cry on, or a place to vent about our problems, no matter how big or small.

Me too Catland!! I find myself putting the pedal to the medal on Thursday's driving to work and when I get to work the first thing I do is open PT instead of my own email. I've said it before and I'll say it again. How is that I can care so much for people and pets I've never met???? I guess it's just one of those unanswered questions of the universe.

Yep Richard you have had way more than your fair share matey, when I see how you have survived all this and much more, that gives me HOPE my friend, that I too can get through just about anything.

Things I look forward to.

My daughter coming home from school.

Hubby walking through the door after work.

waking up and seeing my favourite kitties Ash and lexie.

Chatting with my son, having a real adult conversation with him, and enjoying it.

waking up and seeing the sunshine, and hoping for a happy bright day.

Going online, chatting with my best friend in USA, and of course my favourite PT.

Going Shopping lol.
and many more things, that I cannot think of just now.
P.S I HOPE I win lotto too.!!!! then I can have more cats!!!!!!!

RICHARD, I think you're the kind of person who can handle all of these bad things. Perhaps that's why you get them, after all, who else can manage to maintain their wit, playfulness and irreverance in the face of such huge mountains of bad stuff. All the same, I'd say you deserve a vacation.

What gives me hope?

Random acts of kindness.

And I am lucky enough to receive them or bear witness to them on a fairly regular basis.

The other day I was on my way to a temp job and quite lost. A man came out of nowhere and said "how can I help you find where you need to go?" So I told him the address and he practically walked me there. No gross weirdo stuff, either. Just some guy wanting to help a stranger without any concern or secret desire for anything in return.

Sometimes, things like that make me really love people. I try to remember those little moments when I read bad news.

I hope this doesn't sound too corny, but freedom is what gives me hope. We live in a day & age where we take this for granted; and when I think about it, I'm so thankful and happy that I can be who I want to be; say what I feel; and live my life in freedom.

Besides that, my hubby & my pets give me all the love and care a woman could ask for!!
