Today I met up with my old friend Rosalind and we went to a meeting. The speaker was brilliant and an excellent example of a recovered life. He said that when he first came to the meetings, he was in such a paranoid state that he sat in a back row with his motorcycle helmet on and the visor closed. Somebody had lifted the visor and said “I don’t think we can get a cup of tea in there but would you like me to pass a biscuit through?” I have been feeling a bit “down and troubled and in need of love and care” (Carole King) the past few days and this upbeat, cheerful meeting where we laugh at ourselves, has restored my happy mood and filled the hole in the soul feeling that had crept in on a negative thought.
A bowl of Minestrone with Rosalind at Picasso in the King’s Road and then off to deliver presents to Avril, Winston and goddaughter Natalie. A bracelet for Natalie, and candle lighter for Avril and a ‘Design a Beaver’ kit for Winston which caused no end of mirth and he produced some very interesting designs straight away! He was still designing when I left (!) and went on to Amica and Frenchie’s to take presents for the children. Another cup of tea there and home for a snooze before going to Aimi’s for Chilli Con Carne and to see the New Year in. Her cosy flat was full of happy young and slightly tipsy friends which made for a great atmosphere and I took my copy of ‘Dinner for One’ a very funny short DVD to play them and took photos of the fun. Mia and her friend Nicole put the Potts disguise kit on and we didn't know who they were (!!!!??)

So ended an amazing year which has been so packed with unusual events I feel I haven’t had time to absorb it all, but one of those years of great growth and richness that I will always remember with gratitude and marvelling!

Expect good things and may your wildest dreams come true!
I intend to live every precious moment to the full!
