The golden girl - a bridesmaid from my last wedding. She is so pretty and I love her expression.

Last year, something happened in my life that made me very sad. For quite a long time - until very recently - I felt as if I couldn't get beyond it, couldn't move on or let the past be the past. I kept going over events in my mind, wondering if there was any way things could be different. Wondering if decisions I'd made were the right ones for all concerned.

And then quite suddenly I felt ok again. It's a relief. Oh, I'm not saying there isn't still sadness and regret somewhere deep inside me. But I have come through it. I'm very grateful to family and friends who have helped me along the way. I have some happy memories and love is never wasted; even if it doesn't last for ever.

I got some antibiotic cream for my eye yesterday; only one application and the thing has already SHRUNK!!

I'm really tired today; I slept so badly last night and missed Phil a lot!
