Great to get your tags and feel this is still my tribe.
I was feeling very low yesterday when I came back to the forum. It means a lot to me.
Today has been much better. I had a good morning playing the organ for church, had a chat and then had a great afternoon with my son collecting kitten Numero 2.
My Train trip went well to the festival but I suffer when my family suffers. Yes I worry about my son and then pretend I am not worrying so I don't worry him. Round and round it goes.
Much better today though.
Thanks

Great to see you. You are definitely still part of the forums family. We have missed you!!! Sorry you are worrying about you son. Hopefully things get better there. What’s new in your world? I am off to Tafe this year starting on the 6th of February and I am trying to improve my health. Just starting to try and cut out sugar and meat. I am probably not going completely vegetarian but I will eat meat much less often.
