One BIG apology!

You were missed but you're back now which is what matters.

The rough spots in life are just temporary and make us appreciate the good times.

Sending good karma your way - Happy New Year.

Clock, you're here with us & that's what matters. Don't fret about not sending cards out..i am sending new years type cards when we get back to Perth .

Have a wonderful holiday & don't forget to take care of yourself!

(((((Clock)))))

wanna know a secret? DH and I haven't sent cards in two years and depression is the reason... we're really TRYING to send them this year.

I wasn't on the card exchange - but don't be hard on yourself. Welcome back.

Hey Clock,
I thought of you when I went with a friend to our favorite Mom&Pop Ice Cream Parlor - they had a flavor of ice cream called Clock Work Orange! (I didn't have any though, don't really like the combo of chocholate and orange) So you're famous in New Orleans, you have a flavor of ice cream named after you!!! Aren't you thrilled! Glad you're back.

Hey, you made me

Every single post was so good to read, it really was very kind of people to even bother.

Then I got home this evening and had three cards from the other side of the world!........postmarks where San Jose, NY and VA. I didn't tear them open like I usually do, I waited until I sat down at dinner. Isn't it strange how something as small as a card from a relative stranger can make you smile and feel all happy?

I was so pleased I got my act together last night and got my New Year cards all finished AND posted today.

Maybe somebody can answer why I feel so much better, being able to share how I have been feeling. I actually feel I am getting back to the old me?

Cheers all.

PS I had a cake made (below) for some friends I had made via the internet, when I did my London Bikeathon earlier this year. This cake is also relevant to this site. You can even see were the candles where.

Hang in there Clock. I too have been in a funk so to speak and have worked very hard to dig my way up and out of it. Just know you have my support 100% of the way.

San Jose?! What kind of freak lives in San Jose!

Sometimes just acknowledging that you feel bad, helps you to snap out of it.

Awwww honey, if you were here I'd make us both a nice cup of peppermint tea and just watch the sun set over the pond. Christmas is hard on me--it always has been. I usually end Christmas with a good cry. On top of that, all I've wanted to do was go to bed really early and hope that February will be here in a jiffy because then I'll hear the peeper frogs. Spring will be here soon enough but in the meantime, know that you are NOT alone.
