That is good to hear @VinylRichie It really can be day by day with our MH but finding the little bits of joy in each day can help. I am okay - very tired after a long week.

Hi @calmsoul

It’s so lovely to hear from you 💜

I love the little emoji with the hat on and just from your greeting it sounds as though you’re quite some distance away 😊

I’m so sorry to hear that you’re experiencing ‘trauma brain’ and just from what you’ve shared this sounds pretty impactful and frustrating 💜 As such, I just wanted to ever so gently say please don’t worry if you can’t write in the way that you would like to - whatever you can manage will always be absolutely fine with me 💜

Thank you so much 💜 It’s the most beautiful blanket - not to mention incredibly snuggly during the winter months 😆

Oh wow 😊 scarves are great! I love the ones that are made from soft fluffy material! I also love the ones that have a little bit of glitter running through them and as such, I just wondered if you have a favourite type of scarf?

When I was growing up my nan tried to teach me how to knit and I managed to make a tiny (and very uneven) scarf for one of my teddy bears - which I was pretty thrilled about 😆

Oh that’s such a generous and beautiful gesture and I have no doubt that there would be so many people who would love to receive one of your scarfs 💜 With this in mind, I just wondered if you’ve ever considered donating some of them to different charities?

Take kind and gentle care of yourself,

ShiningStar 💜
