Worry is debilitating and a horror to live with, but like you say you manage somehow and focusing on the positive is the only way forward. That's why buying beautiful things (and I must say lucky you for finding them as all gorgeous) at great prices lifts your spirits as does writing happy blog posts about all that's good in your life does too. <br /><br />Take care Steph.<br /><br />Lisa xBobo Bunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14564557200579080645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8308715619105248833.post-8502529913866470992011-03-13T09:52:09.388+00:002011-03-13T09:52:09.388+00:00Yes,you are so right.We have to count our blessing...Yes,you are so right.We have to count our blessings everyday.Lovely post...and those dresses are truly gorgeous...especially the roses one! :0)bellaboohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09579328217041430937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8308715619105248833.post-41530022215236270272011-03-13T08:17:37.579+00:002011-03-13T08:17:37.579+00:00There is something so satisfying about finding a g...There is something so satisfying about finding a gem at a charity shop :)Travel With Luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09646026064261601469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8308715619105248833.post-91156823899249833642011-03-13T03:05:32.128+00:002011-03-13T03:05:32.128+00:00They are fabulous, especially love the roses for a...They are fabulous, especially love the roses for an anniversary.
