Really glad to hear you sounding more positive and upbeat! Keep strong and keep fighting, the world needs a GMS in it xx

I’m sorry about the OD and the sadness that must have accompanied it—but I’m thrilled that you’re sharing your time and gifts with others, and loving it.

I have found that often the more you give, the more you love—and pure, voluntary, unselfish love does us a world of good.

Thanks so much for this wonderful update!

It sounds like, occasional blips aside, you’re on a very good road.

Hi GMS. Sorry to hear about your OD. I hope youve managed to get some help with that. Gardening is great! I grow all sorts of veg in a poly tunnel which i cook up. Very tasty. My new big hobby ia bees. Gone from 2 small hives to 5. Very interesting and absorbing hobby. Wishing you well. Xx

GMS, I'm so glad to know you're doing well. I think volunteering at the hospital doing tea & coffee and gardening is a great idea. I think it's important for all of us to feel like we are doing something meaningful, outside of ourselves.

I'm glad you are staying away from the message boards that upset you so much. And, I'm very sorry about the OD and thankful that you went to the hospital and were taken care of.

I am so glad you posted an update, GMS...I think about you often. You have always reminded me a bit of my youngest daughter. She didn't have all the same issues you do, but she did and still does have some. She is doing quite well these days, too.

I hope you will keep us updated. I am so happy to hear that you are volunteering and have an interest in gardening. I know it can be quite therapeutic. (((HUGS)))
