It’s Friday! And that means it’s also time for you to come and share your best and worst bits of the week. Whether it’s been a big week or a quiet one, there’s something very cathartic about sharing these moments with strangers – so if you’ve never left a comment, why not try it today?
Best: Someone emailed me this gallery yesterday and I cried. Seriously. If you’ve found yourself losing a bit of faith in humanity lately, take a flick through – I guarantee it will put at least a tiny smile on your face. Thanks Buzzfeed.

Worst: The tragedies in the news this week. For one, the Australian woman murdered in Phuket – that hit pretty close to home, considering that the day before I was speaking to two different friends about their dreamy Thailand holidays. And just last night, hearing the news about the asylum seeker boat, which overturned north of Christmas Island just broke my heart. Welcome to Australia said it best on their Facebook page: “Grieving over the tragic loss off Christmas Island. People fleeing oppression we can’t imagine, meeting a fearful end beyond our comprehension.”
What were your best and worst bits of the week?

Complicated story but three of my friends were emailing this horrible woman that had intentionally caused me enormous trouble.
This evil person even went so far as to lie to the Police to try and get me into trouble and my three friends were aware of this.
I just found out that whilst I was in hospital they were emailing this woman, firstly to make arrangements for my dogs but they were already picked up on the first day. So there was no reason for the ongoing emails, about three weeks of them and multiple during the day.
This terrible woman said the most vicious, terrible lies about me, truly shocking in these emails. And her comments were so outrageous it was obvious that she is not normal.
My three friends do not know this woman at all, she's a complete stranger to them. Yet they were replying to her emails and not one of them stood up for me!
I was stunned and shocked, first that they would have any communication with this nutcase, knowing the harm and damage she had caused me. And secondly to not rebut her terrible criticisms of me or stand up for me.
When I asked them, one said that she had problems of their own and didn't want to fight with anyone because of me.
But who said they had to "fight" with her? Also how could they just sit back and listen to all the truly terrible things, lies, that she was saying about me?!
Am I expecting too much?????
Worse: Having my respect for Christianity decrease even further when a spokesman for the Salvation Army said that homosexuals deserve death.
Worst: having another spokesman saying "That isn't what he means." as a weak effort to try justify what is written as church doctrine.
Best: Having a gay nephew say "It's okay, that's his problem. I'll still donate to their charity work."
