Every so often it becomes overwhelming.<br />I do voluntary work as you know, but still doubt that my life means anything.<br />Love that you are now fostering cats, who will undoubtedly let you know what if anything you are doing wrong.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-56856908954043411762019-11-30T06:54:34.174+11:002019-11-30T06:54:34.174+11:00mail4rosey: Thank you.

Yet, to keep silent when someone is struggling also feels bad.<br /><br />"I always feel inadequate. I am convinced that anything I do could/should be done better."<br /><br />I can relate, and the older and more infirm I get, the better I can relate. A major part of my reason for fostering cats is that I want to believe that my life means something, and cats make it easy for me to know whether or not I'm "getting it right."Snowbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-37584239671630267932019-11-29T09:39:43.817+11:002019-11-29T09:39:43.817+11:00Diane Henders: If you are reading this, can you p...Diane Henders: If you are reading this, can you please check your spam folder.

I know just what you mean about the big girl panties, up to the chin and back on the horse, so to speak. Sending love and hugely enjoying the flowers and especially the Noah's ark of animals. I was excited about the two headed snake at first then realised it was two snakes.
