Hi
I'm filled with dread with Christmas/New Year approaching. Every year we think we've had a bad one we can say goodbye to the old and bring on the new....hoping it'll be better. This year, I can't feel it'll be better, Mum will decline so it'll be worse, meaning that no matter what 2006 holds it will be worse than 2005.
Having been like that, I've been trying to think of all the positives, Mum will still be aware of this Christmas, my 6 year old's excitement is highly infectious and there will be many more Christmasses like that to come. My job is good and will hopefully continue to be good (if not better). I have a new house which I love (and is a 10 minute walk from Mums). I have a husband that I love.
All in, life couldn't be much better except for the dark cloud of AD.
Sorry to be depresssing, but I thought I'm almost certainly not the only one feeling like this so I wondered what everyone else did to make themselves feel better at this time of year?
Hopefully we'll all be able to gee each other up a bit,
Mandy
