I had no idea I had missed so many. I looked everywhere but can find no way to be notified of your posts on your blog, which is so frustrating! I would have told you how to clear up your asthma attack without steroids and their nasty side effects! (Email me and I will elaborate).<br />Would either of these make subscription possible?<br />https://kellyschuknecht.com/2015/06/24/how-to-add-an-email-subscription-function-to-blogger-blogspot/<br />https://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/95437/how-to-subscribe-to-a-blog-on-blogspot-via-emailElliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441373431123268685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8792902209446838780.post-9613811587665471752017-04-24T19:42:45.531+01:002017-04-24T19:42:45.531+01:00During the course of my very long career I have oc...During the course of my very long career I have occasionally spoken at meetings of tired, stressed people trying to network and to find lifelines in the cutthroat business world. One of the things I found myself repeating over and over again was the need to stop blaming oneself! And here I am, still saying to people ‘it’s not your fault’ – because blame seldom lies with one person, let alone one set of circumstances. Time and chance build our lives – and wreck them too. Making a mistake – or an error of judgment – is not simply a human failing, and I have no doubt there are thousands of philosophies and writings supporting my theory, just as there will be equally as many challenging it.<br /><br />Thank you for what you have said, Hugo, because if even one person is affected – in a positive way – by my writing, then it’s worth all the effort I try to put into it. Hugs back! :)<br />P R Fordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09634848272422307580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8792902209446838780.post-66509603157890236132017-04-23T20:30:38.324+01:002017-04-23T20:30:38.324+01:00Well, I'm not sure how many thoughts I actuall...Well, I'm not sure how many thoughts I actually have Prue to be honest but you know when sometimes you read something and think, 'That's exactly it!'? It was one of those.<br />I find it quite easy to write about many aspects of my own life but have always baulked somewhat in writing about my health and the impact that it has upon me. I'm not totally sure why but I think I view it as a form of whinging in public and, for whatever reason, I've always found that very difficult to do. Strangely, I can absolutely see the value in doing so and would always encourage anyone to do so but, for me, it's always been an almost impenetrable taboo. I wonder if it began after my own steroid "treatment" many years ago after I was on them for several years and became a rather different kind of kid after the treatment was stopped. Maybe. I hadn't really thought about it until I read your post so I'll have to try and think back to my youth and see what I can remember. Like I said, you've got me thinking!<br />The effects on one's mental health of "chemical intervention" is probably just as insidious and it's easy to forget, every day, that it may be happening. I tend to blame myself for being such a useless lump when it takes a supreme effort just to get out of bed in the morning, and, unsurprisingly, it's not easy to change that viewpoint. Your post, however, has given me some thought that the way I feel may not all be my fault, so thank you for that.<br />Hugs :)Hugohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07340639960165395748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8792902209446838780.post-41580526291144575512017-04-22T12:27:20.114+01:002017-04-22T12:27:20.114+01:00Thank you so much Hugo... it doesn't do to let...Thank you so much Hugo... it doesn't do to let me ramble on for too long, you know!

I agree with much of what you say but need time to think about some of it so I'll take that time and comment again...<br />HugsHugohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07340639960165395748noreply@blogger.com
