Hi All,
Thank you so much for your posts, i was thrilled to recieve them.  I have had a fairly quiet few days, today i didnt get dressed until almost 2pm!  That is the one thing i like the most about holidays, the lazing around!
Damian is going away tomorrow, for the weekend.  The boys at work put money in a kitty every week, which at the end of the year is used for a trip away, so im sure he will have a good time. They are going to the races on Saturday, which means that Dames will be betting on the horses, but im not concerned.  I have to say, watching horses go round a track has never interested me, considering i am terrified of them!  So in terms of gambling, yes, he is but i dont deem it detrimental to my recovery.  I am going to go out for dinner tomorrow night i think, and have a nice meal with my kids.
Brea has been a bit stressed the last couple of days.  She is worried about getting in to her University of choice, plus taking driving lessons and realising its a bit harder than first thought isnt helping either.  Im stepping back and letting her work through it, anything i say seems to antagonise her so im zipping it! ( i know, hard to believe for me!) Work has been fine, no problems there, and i have started counselling via email, which is an interesting concept in itself, but as ive said before, its time to work on the inside and its quite nice to be able to really think about things before writing them down. I have only just started, so im pretty excited about it all really. 
So thats my life in a nutshell at the moment,  next week i am the one going away, to Melbourne to the Australian Open tennis with my sister and her 2 daughters.  It should be great fun, we are staying in some apartment up there, right near the shopping!!! lol.  We are attending 2 night sessions, Friday and Saturday, so that leaves all day Saturday to shop…what a bummer!!!
Anyway, i hope you are all having a lovely day, thanks again for all your wonderful thoughts, you have lifted my spirits!
Take care, bye for now, Kathryn xxLife is about falling….living is about getting up!
