come along. That is sods law as you say, Mias, it would be odd if life wasn't like that. The difficulties I have had personally cause me agitation, but then there are so many good things; inspiration comes sometimes from reading about the lives of famous individuals who had problems thousands of thousands times greater than anything I myself could comprehend. However difficulties which crop up are still nightmarish for the individual. The difficulty with which someone personally finds their problem to solve, I suppose, marks out the scale of the achievement. I struggle through mine, getting confused, wondering how to cope, but it is a challenge. I hope that by cooking better meals in my new kitchen will inspire me, and then to do more voluntary work. I am trying to get enough skills and strength together to do more visiting work in the New Year. Thanks so much for your kind replies. It's good to be here. I'll be back on the poetry post soon. It certainly is a struggle at times!
