20 tcf.org.uk Hello dear friends Thank you to all those of you who have contributed to our very special Compassion magazine particularly over the 13 years I have edited it. Receiving your thoughts, feelings and memories over this time has been a privilege. Thanks to Sam Forbes for designing Compassion in such an attractive way; to Mary Hartley who in addition to writing the Book Reviews and News from the Library read through it and made sure everything was as it should be, and to Carolyn, our wonderful CEO, who holds everything together. We are very lucky to have Andrea Corrie, an accomplished author, to take over as editor. And now, what have I been doing? Well apart from moving house, which is an adventure in itself, I’ve had one or two health problems to sort out. Now I want to get on and get down to things I’ve promised myself I’ll do, one of them being to research my Welsh family history. But getting down to things is not my strong point, as you can see… Love and warmest wishes to you all, Gina x Carpe Diem - Seize the Day Shared by Gina Claye, from ‘Don’t Let Them Tell You How to Grieve’ A new day is an opportunity not to be missed I must make a list, There are so many things to be done; first, I’ll put the kettle back on, I need another cup of tea just of course for energy. Next, there’s that last piece of blackberry tart then I really will make a start. It’s not that I’m lazy or slacking, deep down I want to get cracking, I’ll get round to things soon and seize the afternoon. A letter from Gina Claye our lovely former Editor COMPASSION | YOUR STORIES & POEMS
