Lonely: One Week On!

You are definitely worth it Bam. Always treat yourself kindly everyday. Glad you have perked up.

Thank you GrannyMosh, I'm amazed that you have taken the time to reply, I'm pleased that you are just about out of the woods and hope that you will soon be on your feet again.
And GreenGran, hope you will be fit enough for the Bolton Meetup, I may see you there.
I just want to say, I feel humbled by all your posts, I am mindful that some people who replied to my original post, emphasising with me, most of them with very good reasons to feel down and lonely. I'm aware that they might not be able to bounce back, with a new hair cut and some face cream, so I am thinking of them all and wishing them well.

Ha! That's the word newnanny, I've perked up, thanks for that, it made me smile.

Terrific and bravo you!

Way to go, Bambam! Atta Girl! I shall be taking a few leaves from your book. Big hugs. Xxy

Well done x

empathising - silly auto correct!

Well done you x

It is only ourselves who can pull up our big girl pants and get out there and live life the way we want! Go Bambam you did it!

What a lovely post well done you ❤️❤️

I do admire you Bambam, I can be guilty of withdrawing from life when I’m feeling low. You’re an inspiration.

Well Done You! I bet you will have inspired a lot of people. It has certainly worked on me.

Well done you

That is so lovely xxx

Loved your post,thanks for the update your amazing.

What a great result, well done.

Ah that's lovely well done u

Bam your post should be printed and made into a poster.

So often when lonely people come on GN I find that however much one sympathises with them, they seem their own worst enemies as they turn down every suggestion of meeting people because they do not like it/have done it and walked out/and so on.

To hear from someone who picked themselves up by their bootstraps and did something is an absolute joy to hear.

I am sure you will still have lonely periods, but whenever you do, just read this thread, your original post and the wonderful effect it has on everyone that reads it - and it might be that another lonely person will as a result, do what you did and feel so much better.

This is my first comment! What an inspirational posy, so positive, it made me smile. Thank you ?

Meant to say post not posy???

Thank you for your brilliant & inspiring post, Bambam! You’ve put a big smile on my face too

GrannyMosh
Sending you lots of good wishes for a speedy recovery.

What a truly lovely post, one of the nicest I've come across on GN. I'm sorry that I missed your earlier thread, but so pleased I've found this one. It looks as if you've brightened a lot of people's day, as well as your own! Your wonderful positive attitude is an inspiration to us all.

I don't live anywhere near you, but I'm so pleased to hear you may soon be meeting new friends at the GN Bolton meet-up

It's lovely to read such positive feedback, so happy for you - you've really turned your life round - and you have a trip to Australia to look forward to. Your first post, the responses and today's post makes one realise how worthwhile and valuable Gransnet is.

You are an inspiration and thank you for your courage and encouragement x
