To be a bit [hmm] at all the life affirming New Year FB posts?

That's it really. So many of my FB friends have written about how they've overcome their various challenges in 2019, and how blessed they are to be moving forwards in 2020, and how we should all count our blessings/live our best life/live every moment/ my door is always open/ etc etc.
It's all a bit icky. Just say "Happy New year"

Hogmanay 2009 I had not long found out that my cancer had progressed despite high doses of chemo and was waiting for surgery in the new year. Things were not looking great and I found myself in the same position a year later, potentially looking at palliative care.

I didnt think I'd see 2014 never mind a new decade, so yes I'm quite happy to share "life affirming" posts because I'm bloody happy to be here.

The 10 year challenge made me laugh- christmas 2009 I was completely bald, things could only get better from there!

It's probably best to just unfollow your close Friends & Family if they are being icky and make you start a post on here.

People you hardly know then yes delete.

I just tend to scroll down and ignore.

Just unfollow them. Still friends but you don't see the narcissistic crap.

Facebook has been so much better since then.
