How are things this morning @Shaz51?

Hi @Former-Member

How are you? It's lovely to see your message to @Shaz51 this morning.......very caring. It's nice to see other people really acknowledging morning stresses and sending a touch of care to others.

This morning I'm going to church. I was very excited last night because I understood the reading of my new assignment and took some good notes. I am doing Sociology Foundations on Open University, I never thought that I'de be clever enough to do this but I'm doing it, I'm doing it.

Cool for someone who was hit by a car and in a deep coma for 6 weeks when 15 years old hey. Then care for two sons, one with serious malignant brain stuff and he recovered ( he's 24 years old now ) and one with bipolar type mental health issues. Now a husband with diagnosed Chronic Paranoid Schizophrenia. I've never spoken like this before.......

Who would have guessed?

Thinking of you and mum @Shaz51
Trust Mr Shaz coping ok also.

Hi @PeppiPatty, @Shaz51, @Former-Member, @Determined, and everyone. Nice to see you pop up in notifications ❤

PEPPIPATTY, glad youre being so open today, and i wish more ppl would nutshell their story now and then as well as you just did. My heart goes out to you though, go e through so much yet still pressing forward. Its an honour to know youre here, encouraging each other. And youre such a wonde ful carer of your family, in spite of your own challenges ❤ Sociology One was a great subject in my first year Social Work Studies (dropped out when left my-husband). i distinctly remember the realisation of all the things i wanted gov to know to help improve communities, well... ... yep... ... they already know it all. I felt so disillusioned that they actually known for years and can't 'fix'it. It was like someone stole my thunder / lost my voice... How immature / green was i? So keep studying if you can - theres so much to learn out there. I made it to church today too for a change (Rev 14😱}. Just got back & found you guys

But wont hang around long as gotta go serve lunch soon ☺
