Hi Wanda and everyone,
Thanks for your posting about the war. Yes, it has at times added to my anxieties: in fact from time to time I've had to make a special effort to distract myself; get involved in other activities, so as to be able to calm down again and not think about it for a while!
I so agree, the bravery of our soldiers (British and American) is wonderful, and the suffering of the people in Iraq is upsetting. But I remind myself that I won't be helping any of them by getting upset about it: the best I can do is carry on with my responsibilities here, as well as I can, so that the free and successful societies they're fighting for/seeking continue to thrive!
I'm off this morning to visit my parents in London for a week. I'm a bit panicky and shaky about the train journeys but it's all booked and paid for, so I have to be brave! Look forward to reading all your posts when I get back. Bye everyone! Love, Sarajo.
