Thankyou both for your posts !

madisgram :- I am glad you have found the happines that life can provide, I am grateful that you have also given examples of what you now have, which you wouldn't, had you taken the other path.

tara_922 :- Keep going, I am glad you have avenues you can get help from ,and I'm glad that you have organised this.

To anyone else who would like to contribute to what they have now, as a result of not following through with thoughts, or even what you think you may achieve, if you haven't already. Feel free to post it.

Best wishes

Alex
