Sounds like youāre having a proper movie fest. I shall have to look out for Harry & the Hendersons as never seen it. Enjoy scrooged.
Sorry youāre feeling emotional at the minute. Itās normal post stroke. If iām feeling like that I just let the tears flow. Bet Bob is great companyā¦when heās not sleeping. 
Take care xxx

Anne ps The Stroke Association Helpline and this Forum have been fantastic listeners when Iāve just had to let out my emotion, even though my sinuses block up when I cry and no one can actually hear what Iām saying lol

Hello Clare
Iām sorry to read you find yourself not in a good place but it is equally encouraging that you both recognise where you are and have said so on here and out loud.
Knowing where we are, even if itās not a good place is much better than not knowing where we are, even when it is a good place. We can move when we know where we are and which way we are facing, itās much harder to do so if weāre lost too.
I wanted to share this with you, itās old hippy mumbo jumbo, or philosophy written in the 60ās I think by Gahil Kibran, itās from the prophet the story of a prophet leaving his home tow to go on an adventure, and the questions he gets asked as he walks through his town to the harbour and his boat away.
On sorrow and Joy, the premise is, that they both occupy the same cavern inside of us, that when that vessel is full to the brim, we are filled with joy, a swirling liquid that soothes our soul, makes us smile and carves the cavern in which it is held even deeper. when joy flows from us, the same cavern empties and becomes a void hollow where our joy once was, the two cannot exist at the same time, and ebb and flow back and forth as we journey through life.
Which ever we have, the other is waiting in some way to replace.
I know itās hard to sit with our sorrow, and I know itās even harder still to hear someone say āitās going to get betterā āit will changeā, so I wonāt say itā¦instead Iāll hope that you read Gibrans passage, and that when you rest and then wake, youāll hear some of the things written here and above.
Hello to Bob, obviously short for Kateā¦

@a.clare71 ho Clare I hope youāve brightened up a little.
Iāve just watched my 5 year olds nativity and he was like a gangster Shepard the way he was wearing his table cloth head dress 
Iāve watched Harry and the Hendersonās and loved it also Scrooged.
Have you watched Sh&ts creek? It is funny and Dead to me too is another funny 
Hi
Thank you for this. Iāve always thought life is a set of scales with everything - emotion, luck, etc., and the scales tilt one way and the next. It is hard to keep them balanced. Generally they never do and we need to accept that

Glad you enjoyed it. Never heard of Sh&ts creek.
Think it might be The Christmas Choir tonight. Based on true events

I had to blot the I out as itās a poo swear word and youāre not allowed it on here.
Itās on Netflix 20 to 25 mins episodes. I watched it after my stroke as I couldnāt concentrate but the short episodes were perfect x
Aww youāre very welcome Clare, itās a wonderful book and one Iāve returned to often, it helped me to understand (when I was ready to) that my children were never really mine.
So when my family broke up and then they grew up, Iād not lost anything, because I never had anything and that in fact, my work, for the most part, was doneā¦
ā¦ now I love just watching them fly.
