Friends

Communicating with old friends has proved fascinating, moving, rewarding and lots of other ings as well.

I do not feel sorry for myself now after the early phase. I find it interesting to explore and comment on my situation but I suspect that such self indulgence is human nature so I do not feel too ashamed.

Ihave been deeply moved to hear how many of my old friends are dealing with difficult situations, many of which eclipse my own problems. It is no source of satisfaction but it is a reflection on our lives. I begin to see the attraction of religion - or at least a belief in principles.

Going through a phase now where I sleep badly at night and then have a nap in the afternoon. It is great but Poppy the pup disagrees. This is just an excuse to put in the picture of Poppy.
