I’m enjoying life now and have immersed myself in volunteering which I feel helps me give back. I help at a church playgroup on a Monday and Wednesday and I go along to the local food bank at the same church to give out food and toiletries to local people in need.

This is all good for me and I’m seeing my friends again, meeting up for coffee and a catch-up.

But what happens when I feel low again. I know it will happen because this has been the cycle for the last thirty years.

I have a particular girlfriend who makes no demands on me but is there whenever I need to offload or just for a chat. We take it in turns to visit each other’s house and walk her dog 🐕.

I was just curious; does anyone else have a fairweather friend or buddy? I’d be keen to know.

Take care
