Simply..good news and bad news....

1/11/2017

The good news is that we have raised £1669.60 in our Swim a Mile for Barry fundraiser for Ardgowan Hospice. To the swimmers and to all those who donated so very generously - THANK YOU, YOU ARE A WONDERFUL FORCE FOR GOOD IN THIS WORLD!

The sad news is that Cath, who many of you will know has been a regular commenter on this blog for years now, has had an accident which means she cannot write at present, and needs a lot of rest and care to start on what may be a tough road to recovery. I miss her thoughtful comments, links to new (to me) poets, interesting questions and gentle humour, as I am sure you do, and I know you will join me in wishing her well - it may take patience, strength and determination - but we know you have those qualities in spades Cath!

Know that we are thinking of you and look forward to you coming back to join us here.

On the ferry home tonight.

I join you in sending positive thoughts to Cath for a full recovery from her accident. I do so love the human warmth shared in this space you have created Freda. And what an amazing achievement to have raised so much for the hospice!

sorry to hear about Cath. she always contributed to the conversation in a positive way. i'll be sending my thoughts/prayers her way, too. keep us posted, if you can.

off the subject...I came across this quote & thought it appropriate for this group: 'There is no end of craving. Hence, contentment alone is the best way to happiness. Therefore, acquire contentment' Swami Sivananda

isn't that the truth? no matter how much or how little we have, if we aren't content with it, it doesn't matter.

don't want to short-shrift barry's fundraiser. what a success!

Good news, indeed, about the funds raised for hospice.

It is so heartening to see compassion at work even in the ether. I would like to add my hopes for speedy healing and a return to full health for Cath.
