A Reflective Mood In The Week
Sorry I haven't posted on here for a few days as a lot has happened and lots of observations!
Last week started off good but felt bad againbut was perked up by writing on Cane and able. I am starting to enjoy Ouch as through writing on the Cane and Able messageboard I had found a true friend in Chris Mac! Bless him! He has helped me to feel better and every time I got upset last week he told me not to get too upset and explained things to me whenever I didn't understand why certain posters were saying things, so that's one thing I will praise Damon, Lord Ouch for, for finding me the true mate who is adorable.
Chris Mac also invited me to his MSN group called Hood's Island so that's the reason why I haven't posted much on Ouch, as I have been there talking to him and hopping back to Ouch when I want to.
I then had a strange dream about the messageboarders and you may have read my thread about it on Cane and Able at the weekend.
Next I observed a programme that got me both angry a bit and upset for. The programme that made me get y back up was the Arena programme where people from the BBC were discussing the documentary they made of the famous interview with Princess Diana on Panorama.
As I was listening to them talking about how they made it, it got me upset and angry about how people seem to talk about her in the media all the time and that they should leave her in peace now she has gone sadly from this world. When I was doing my focus group for Macintyre Care, her memorial fund helped out by giving us money to survive. As we were working and trying to set up all our workbooks, the fund ran in to trouble from everything that was going on with her and all the fund freezed so all Diana's charities couldn't get money from the fund. I don't know what went on as it's long winded.
Our launch party for our workbooks was held in the fund's offices itself and it was great to be in a place that cared a lot for her memory. I got very emotional when I was there as it was very awe inspiring to be in a place and you could sense her feelings around the room and it's upsetting for me to hear all the horrible stories that appear in newspapers and TV nowadays. I wish they would leave her memory alone in peace.
There was a lot of posters in the corridors that told about her and in one corner was a huge book that was excellent. You could sense her around the offices and I did!
Charities with people who have learning difficulties were one of Diana's passions and she would have very interested and would have enjoyed our launch party!
