My gorgeous @Anastasia
How are you going? I'm concerned you aren't doing too well &'would like to send you lots of best wishes and gentle hugs. You once posted 'I am strong' - please draw on that strength during this difficult but short time. You're the best Mum, best GF & are Unfortunatley stuck in a bit of a hole! You'll dig you're way out - you always do.
Little Levi agrees, he's climbing all over me as I type this on my phone to you. 🐶
I'm here as always if you need me gorgeous. Take care of you.
Love L xx

Hello dear L,
To say your message warms my heart is an understatement. You are one of a kind. I am lucky I found you. Thank you for your beautiful message. I'm a bit better just plodding a long really trying to focus on the tiny wins that happen. I laughed outloud envisioning little Levi, God bless him xxx
How are you?
Have you been able to investigate any volunteer opportunities?
I miss our chats.
Sending you love, ways @WIP 💞💓♥️

Good Morning @Anastasia
How are you today?
I had a s!*t of a day yesterday and bad sleep last night. Am feeling tired, but trying to be positive about the day ahead. It's going to be a hot one here in Melbs, so need to take little Levi out early.
I'm glad my message mad you feel good and bought a smile to your face! Keep celebrating those little wins.
I applied for two volunteering positions in the local area. One to help with Admin at the Community House and another at a local church that has a kiosk for elderly - morning shift making coffees, balancing stock levels/till and having a chit chat.
Haven't heard back yet. Fingers crossed I will though. I need some routine to help build my confidence, instead of being deflated that all I get out and about for atm is medical appts & they don't always go well.
Have a good day gorgeous @Anastasia

Oh @WIP I am sorry to hear. You are so inspiring though with pushing through. You strength really inspires me. I hope you do get to take gorgeous Levi out, he'll love that.

Definitely trying. Have managed to get boys to stick with their washing so when I go back to therapist on Friday can report good news for a change 🙂
