This place has changed so much over the last year. The friends i have made and the people i care about are not about as much, they are either getting on with life or left or just needing to not be here as much and i am the same too i guess. It is a good thing i think, means we are all less reliant on DS to support us and the people that i care about the most are never further than a phone call away. But i care about all my friends on here every single one and that is why i stay i come back and i try as best i can to keep up. I fail alot but i do try and i do care and i know that everyone else cares too. This place is changing because life changes and i hope that everyone can still feel they can come here for support when life is failing us slightly or we need to share good news. I hope that we all still pop in and give the low down and that we try and read and keep up because this place is a family in it's own right. I love you all still very much. Big hugs.xxxxx
Thank you for trying to keep in touch...I know it isnt easy and I must admit I dont tend to send messages (other than jokes/sayings), otherwise I only messge people who message me first and generally the same with hugs. I took a conscious decision about 3/4 months ago not to look at disussion posts cos it tends to lead to an increase of friends and therefore the amount of time it takes to 'maintain' my account....As you might remember my hubby was complaining/jealous of the amount of time I spent on DS so I thought that was what I would do as a compromise....
I do still really enjoy the contact with my friends though and have recently joined two 'groups': 'dog adorers' and 'penny pincher ideas' so no doubt that is going to increase friends and contacts again....!
I do always say though, that people shouldnt feel guilty if they're not able to 'give too much of themselves/be there for others' if they're not well themselves....Everyone just needs to 'take' sometimes if they're not well enough to 'give'....and the same really if you need to concentrate on other things/people in your life....Thanks for raising your feelings on this subject...I'm going to put this reply in my journal....Love M xx
