Hello @Krishna 

Sorry to hear about your Easter drama.

Not a good time for carers.

Not a good time for carers of anyone let alone acute mental health.

Throw in their absence well I need say no more.

It just does not stop does it.

Drama for me Good Friday also. I will not add to your load though.

Extended family lunch on Easter Sunday tension, outdoing each other, entitlement, materialism ...Not me at all. Was glad to leave.

I really do not enjoy these so called family gatherings.

Another one for 2 two year old birthday again tomorrow with another mixture of people all talking over one another. All fake.

I go to support husband. Some of them are nice people. All mixed together it just does not work.

No walk today too wet. Too exhausted.

Yesterday had a walk.

Have met a new neighbour who actually thanked me for stopping and talking to her. We met up again yesterday for a walk.

Can you believe that?

We have so much in common outside of caring role.

I realised that I am not just a carer.

I also passed a young girl with her dog and stopped to say hello as they had talked to me walking past me in my garden a couple of weeks ago. They are new in the area. Single mum and daughter.They said that it was nice to be able to talk to a neighbour.

She was so happy when I said hello again and asked after her mum.

It is not hard is it.

Hope that you can explore some new places on your bike.

Smile at some faces.

Take care

Sophia1 sending you warm, caring love
