Hi,

- A birthday card from work because it shows me just how much people care for me
- A CD I made with music that cheers me up when I’m feeling blue
- Photo of my cat – she gives me a reason to hang on
- A little book of hugs that was gifted to me recently
- £5 note so I can go out and buy something nice for myself
- A printout of this post so that I’m reminded of this wonderful forum
