So many good things coming together here. Proud of you for asking for help, and glad this appointment with hope and love is in the Filofax. You've got your end of the couch - plenty of helpers waiting to help lift the other end.

Best wishes, taking the first step is usually the hardest, may the rewards be multiple.

Asking for help is so hard and so very hopeful.

I was privy to a conversation in which one of the speakers said he turned over the face of his watch and wrote “now” on the other side to remind himself of what matters.

luckeeeee!

I have mine, and it is still my buddy. I use an online calendar program (google, ick) but there is nothing like those precious pages, waiting for HANDWRITTEN appointments. Kept all the old ones too, so I have a record of my life via the annals of Filofax. I remember when it seemed so modern, now it feels like it hails from some odd corner of organizational antiquity.

Elissa: IS THAT A FILOFAX? Oh how I love mine. Nothing modern, updated or electronic will ever replace this tidy and very British calendar system. I love it so.

Nice blog post!
