GREAT response Alex.

With Dad in hospital at the mo, we really notice someof the patients that were utterly alone. Its so sad. We are really blessed we are such a strong unit and it made him so happy to have lots of friends call and visit. My partner suffers.more as he came from the UK and none of his mates are here and its harder.to make friends as you get older. Hes more introverted too so its more difficult for him to connect. Im lucky to have my yoga tribe. Communities are a good way to ward off depression and we do feel happier after a weekend with friends or family.

Anyone who is in a bad mood or feeling down does not want to read positive news, because it just makes us feel worse!

I would slightly disagree.. my mother in law, in times of crisis, loves to talk about people orse off than her to put her own woes in perspective.. bless her 😄
