Just re-read my post in the context of others and as I can't edit it, unlike other social media posta am concerned that those who have suffered severe illness and losses of loved people and animals in the recent past may regard this as a frivolous thread. I hope it didB' give this impression, I am sure most people (hundreds, maybe even thousands? on this site) who are WLL but also ill, have loved ones who are ill or who have sadly died, including sick or deceaseed animals who have been a mainstay for many throughout this on this site won't take this the the thread the wrong way. Everyone experiencing illness, depression, live-threatening sickness or death, human or animal from whatever cause, including Covid - of course those who care for them deserves deep respect and love. Just wanted to put in my tuppenceworth, as those who have experienceD deep trauma over the last couple of years may find it difficult to see a glass half full rather than half empty and may regard this thread as more than a bit insensitive. Sympathies to all those (many, many thousands in Chiswick and beyond) having a truly terrible time. I have experienced loss and death of people and animals recently, and while it's a good thing to look at the positives, I can understand if those grieving deeply will think this is an upsetting thread. Compassion and caring - none of us know what others are experiencing or their mental state - is more important than ever before.
