Hi jan. It was so lovely to read your email. Don't worry we all have days when we get down in the dumps. I went through a mild period of depression once and when you feel so hopeless and unloved like no-one will listen its the most awful feeling and some times you don't want to get out of bed but I came through it and because of that I have always felt I wanted to reach out to people who are lonely and who feel they have no-where else to turn. I did a year's volunteer work at the Samaritans wich was very rewarding although highly emotionally challenging and in the end because of my own health I had to stop but I would do it again or even if I could find a way I would like to start a prayer line so any-one who feels they are in need of prayer can ring up for a chat and they won't be judged like how some Churches judge people but they would be shown love and compassion. I am a true friend to all who know me and my friends and especially my boyfriend come first and my family to and true friends love and except and forgive each other no matter what and don't bear grudges. I like to ssee the very best in every-one and for many of us on this list I know its hard to find daily activities and for those of us with no sight what so ever its harder to get out not knowing any-one and to find work is especially hard. I am indipendent and there is so much I want to do, travel and see the world and be a successful singer maybe even get further qualifications at some point I don't know but life is to short and we need to be positive and make the most of it. Even when things got bad I hardly ever let it show in front of people I know because that kind of thing brings every-one else down so I like to try and have a positive outlook on life. Well take care and I hope to stay in touch and if you ever want to email me off list that will be great. Take care. Love Sarah xx
