We were a happy go lucky in our 60’s with a lovely family and friends that we enjoy. We loved holidays, going away for weekends both with friends and by ourselves.
We had a long haul with my mother who was very needy and demanding and put constraints on our every day life for many years. The worse period of time was during lockdown after she had a heart attack and life ramped up for me and I nearly cracked up but with my husband and family we got through it.
I had a nasty bout of covid in February and did not get a negative test until the day before my mum died so that was difficult but I was with her at the end.
During the bad times my husband and I often spoke about how we were going to live life to the full once the new normal began.
Then the time came, the world opened up, my responsibility had run its course and we were ready to spread our wings.
We were looking forward to a holiday in Crete that had been out off since 2020, then the day before we were going I sprained my knee and the pain was such that we could not go. We were so down but tried to keep our chins up and spent the week in the garden enjoying some sunshine.
However now we want to have that holiday, go away for weekends and start having fun again but something is holding us back, we make excuses not to go. We look at different places to go but always find a negative and don’t book. What is going on, I don’t like it.
Is there anyone who still thinks that Israel's actions in Gaza are justifiable?
Is it me or am I getting mixed messages
