Grey puppy time (not quite grown into black dog)

gracesmum - there's no rhyme or reason to these things sometimes - (((hugs))) (((hugs))) (((hugs)))

gracesmum please don't give yourself a hard time. Just look how many people want to get involved in the Midlands meet up. That is down to you.
I think a lot of us have been where you are now, so just hang on in. Have a or .
Or you could read some of greatnan's jokes
Best wishes

gracesmum how strange! I'm exactly the same. It must have been Mary Berry that did it as I'm here crying!

I'm sure that it'll pass and I sincerely hope that tomorrow is a brighter day for you
nightowl gave very good advice

gracesmum Many of us understand the way you are feeling. We also know that it will surely pass. We're here for you. Don't be afraid to share. I'm sending warm wishes and a virtual ((hug))

GN emoticons cover just about every eventuality don't they? Well chosen!
Thanks grannies, I have so much to be thankful for and life has been much harder on occasions in the past, so it has taken me a bit by surprise.

Just be gentle with yourself , think , I will get through today, that will be enough. [smiles to you]

Sometimes you can wash it away with a good weep and then recover with a or a or a or a Phone a Friend

(I do wish I could stop using so many exclamation marks - I think it's some sort of compulsion....)

Good advice, nightowl. Gracesmum, please don't feel guilty because you have nothing concrete to be sad about - it happens without rhyme or reason and to the best of us! Just be kind to yourself and accept that this is just one of those days, and I do hope it passes soon! Get out into that !

This blessed grey puppy can just descend at any time gracesmum (love its name by the way). I don't think you can force it to go, sometimes you just have to let yourself have a good old wallow and let it lift in its own time. Do something you enjoy that takes no effort (TV, duvet day). Just hold on to the thought that it will pass
