Sorry

Sorry I ditched out for a while without saying anything, I'm sure no one noticed but I still feel rude!!

I've not been feeling great and just couldn't face even switching on the laptop. 

Plus I've been beating myself up a bit that I didn't make the holiday I booked and generally being a misery guts :D  It's time to snap myself out of it so here I am!

How is everyone??
I can't begin to explain how sad and angry I feel over recent events both here and in Iran. Does it feel to anyone else like there's not much good going on any more? I trawled the internet this morning trying to find some positive news and couldn't find anything. 

I briefly thought I'd found some with a video of an elephant copying a little girl's dance moves but it turned out the poor elephant was warning her to stay away  :'(

    Good to see you are back!

    There used to be a website that specialised only in good news but I can't remember the name of it. I think they may have had a newspaper briefly but not sure if it's still going. Sadly it's well known that bad news sells better than good news! Maybe if you search for it it will come up though.

    Hello again @Biblioklept and it's great to see you back! There's absolutely no need to be sorry.

    I'm glad you're feeling a little better if disheartened by world news/events, things can get pretty grim at times. I think @66Mustang's suggestion is a good one, I remember hearing something similar so will have to search it out.

    I hope the community can help with feeling better too, if you need to talk more about how you've been feeling, you know we are all here for you :)

    @woodbine saw you post just wanted to give you some encouragement 

    I know your disappointed about only having possibly one eye cataract surgery before new year , but you will notice a big difference even if it is just 1 eye improvement 

    I'm blind in one eye and just having vision in one eye is lot better than having cataract in both 

    Good luck

    Good to have you back @Biblioklept.
    It gets me angry too and many more people, I do believe though that the tide will turn, may take awhile but things will change.
    Be kind to yourself.

    Thank you all so much for being so kind <3

    I'm going to search for that site @66Mustang, I think everyone could do with some more good in their lives at the moment!!

    Good to have you back, I'm trying to post more than in recent weeks, I'm wearing a patch over one eye which helps the other focus better.
    Have to agree there is almost no good news.😢
    Happy to see you posting more too! How are you finding the eye patch? Do you wear it all the time?

    Thanks @SueHeath. I should have known I'd back out and not wasted the money so feeling a bit cross with myself for wasting it. But have to focus on the fact that I tried being a good thing <3

    I think the website people are talking about is called "Positive News". It is a subscription site, but it does look free it me, @Biblioklept
