Nataly 38 #1 Posted September 21, 2020 Whew... 2020 has been... What word is strong enough to describe it???! Like many people, I had some unexpected "challenges" which I am still working through... If life has taught me anything it's that sometimes shit just happens. There isn't even always someone to blame and/or any life lessons... Heck, you could almost always be in a worse position and even with the benefit of age/experience, it's not always helpful or comforting to know this!!! Lol! As annoying as these setbacks are, sometimes the only thing to do is try not to be too discouraged as you roll your sleeves up & keep at it. Or take a nap... Naps are also important - hehehe. So there... This is neither a rant nor words of wisdom... But to everyone else who is struggling right now: take care of yourself and hang in there|! PS: A SUGGESTION TO INJECT A BIT OF JOY IN YOUR EVERY DAY: I've always been told you should not bring up a problem without offering some sort of solution (otherwise you are just whingeing unnecessarily)... In this vain, if you don't know her, I love love love Sarah Millican - stand up comedienne. You can easily find nuggets of her amazing comedy by searching on YouTube. And during the confinement, she recorded short videos of her reading her book "How To Be Champion". Cannot recommend these enough!! I found them to be a great source of entertainment / comfort. I think we could all use a bit of her humour in our lives :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
