Writing and receiving letters via virtual post

Writing and receiving letters via virtual post

I love receiving letters, cards and postcodes.

Often received; if written by someone on holiday; days after that person has returned home.

Use this space however you like as though you are writing a letter to someone with whom you relate to in real life.

You might want to say something to that person, or persons and not be given the opportunity.

Families can be so very judgemental and cause much hurt and pain.

This is a way of writing to tell someone how you truly feel; good or bad.

Just read along if this is not your style.

Carry on with your own preference of using the forums.

This is just an idea.

Sometimes we do not know that we might enjoy something different unless we try.

Writing letters can be very therapeutic and a special way of releasing pent up feelings without the person knowing.

Lastly, in writing a letter, you need not put their name or title.

You might like to address the letter as dear friend, or dear family member; dear doctor; dear psychiatrist; dear pet.

Think outside of the square and write about what you would really like to say.

Good luck

Sophia

Is that the Introduced Asian House Gecko @Shaz51? They're spreading around the country.

Apparently those are Very Noisy Critters....

Queensland Museum: Asian House Gecko -

"Initially confined to the urban coastal regions of the Northern Territory and Far North Queensland, Asian House Geckos have shown amazing adaptability and resilience and are now distributed south to Tennant Creek (Northern Territory), west to roadhouses in the Great Sandy Desert and in all Queensland ports from Cooktown to the Gold Coast. They have also been recorded in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, and have been intercepted in cargo and caught in buildings on Norfolk Island. The species appears to be continuing its progression southward with individuals captured at Broken Head, NSW, in 2004 and a reliable report of an established population at Coffs Harbour.

Only introduced gecko in Australia. The Asian House Gecko is Australia's most successful invasive reptile".

Aaaah @Shaz51 @Adge

Bub morphed into an appleblossom briefly & found some ghostly gekkies on the World Wide Womb.

its more tekkie than the Wandering Womb, infinitely less organic, so Bub was relieved to get back down to earth. Safe and Sound in her cosy cavorting cave, munching on CCs before being rocked and lulled to sleep.

Thought she glimpsed David Bowie on the trip down, but it might have been a dream ... she is not sure ...

@HenryX @Oaktree @Sophia1

Ooooh @Sophia1 actually the WWWomb suffered a predictatext attack ... She is sure she typed ....".... feel full".... not fell full ....

Oh dear now she's riffing on Fs .... FFF ... ...its wellbehaved and legal mods .....its poetry

Full Fathom Five ....

but is it Plath or Shakespeare?

Hee Hee

Hello

@Oaktree, @Sophia1 , @Appleblossom , @Shaz51 , @Adge

and all visitors to this thread

"

Really enjoyed reading the random contributions of the day, with a variety of different characters, plausible and otherwise, but all intriguing and humorous.

"

Loved the Magic Wishing Well story Meggle, Thank you.

"

Rather like the idea of the journalist type character, Sophia. I do think that you have connected attributes, personality and interests nicely.

"

Must say, if I were perched in a tree Appleblossom, and I happened to spy a wandering womb, I think that I would be likely to fall out of the tree as well, particularly if a Gumnut baby happened to be snuggled down enjoying the travels. And your references, with Shaz and Adge, on the different Geckos, were also pleasant reading.

"

That spiny leaf insect, successfully mimicking a scorpion, was really interesting, Shaz.

"

I hadn't realised how tired I am feeling and words are becoming a little vague, so I shall off to bed with the wish for everyone of a

Very Restful Sleep

and

A lovely Sunday and Week Ahead

With Best Wishes

Hello @Adge

Am reading back over the thread and responses...

Found your reply to talking to your birds...

Had visions of birds all over your back and head....hold out your arms....

birdman....

my cat eats everything that he can find...

always cleaning the floor in the kitchen and pantry...

also claws clothing to remind us to pat and cuddle him...constantly...

hope that you are more relaxed today and just enjoying the day....Sunday...tomorrow comes on it's own.

love Sophia

💛💚🧡

Re: Writing and receiving letters via virtual post

oh @Appleblossom

Nutty Bub is in full swing in and out of WWW.

Love the creative mind coming up with your new character....Can see many interesting escapades and mischief ...love it...

as for David Bowie well why not....

I wonder if he has ever covered a version of do the hokey pokey? David Bowie style would really bring on a smooth version...

Munching on CC''s .....is that background crunching in tune?

As for Plath or Shakespeare I will let you enlighten us....haha

Can't wait to hear what happens next and how we all meet up if we ever do...we do not really have to do we...

In response to: Re: Writing and receiving letters via virtual post

Re: Writing and receiving letters via virtual post

You did very well @HenryX

considering all of the varieties of posts awaiting you to read when you returned home from a long excursion..

We all thank you for contributing...

Putting it altogether nicely...

Yes I can see you fitting nicely into journalist roll...will also give you time out when needed...can be worked into the story....journalists do a lot of behind the scenes...listening in...spying...so behind the bushes works in on occasions..

Have a rest today... I am about to go out in the garden again..

I had 5 hours out there yesterday with cat....loved it...grounds me and soothes my troubled soul...

take care enjoy your day..

love

Selkie 💙

I am currently reading edition 5 of essentials of abnormal psychology. The wandering womb was found in there along with some other terrifying history of care of the mentally ill. Made me grateful for being mentally ill now and not in the past - recent or otherwise. I only have this textbook for one week as it is a reference book from my library but it is very interesting. I actually wanted to get a book on schema therapy but the library didn't have anything on that. So far I have only read one and a half chapters. Will have to focus my reading to the parts that pertain to my own diagnoses as the book has to be back by Thursday. Trying to catch up to my psychologist in knowledge (not that that's even possible)

Hello @Oaktree

You brought a smile to my face when I read that you were

currently reading edition 5 of essentials of abnormal psychology.

I had not even reached the now infamous WWW.

Then you would have to be the only person I know to write the following words

Made me grateful for being mentally ill now and not in the past - recent or otherwise.

I of course know where you are coming from in fact it is only about 20 years ago that there were still mental institutions.

Women who practised natural therapies; grew their own herbs and made tonics were burnt at the stake labelled witches... They were basically being self sufficient growing an organic garden...

Dear @Oaktree you do not have to catch up in knowledge with your psychologist who has special qualifications and trained for a certain number of years to be paid for that role.

You pay for the expertise.

I do get wanting to know more about your diagnosis.

That can also become a minefield.

There are so many books on different diagnoses and we all have our own life experiences which are a big part of our symptoms and how we learn to live with them...look after ourselves as best as we can...

I do think that it is great that you are following through with your appointment. I read that it has been some time and starting again can bring nervous energy to the fore....

If you tell the specialist about your new writing group and escapades .....they will probably need to seek treatment themselves....hearing about all of our imaginative minds and stories...

I still am confused as our thread is very confusing....noted by several over the time...

is your character going to be Meg?

It is easier for us all to have a name...what the stories that follow are about do not have to flow with the name..Just sets you apart from your user name...

Also will avoid misunderstandings keeping the real Meggle separate from the virtual character...

If you have not got a clue what I am talking about...just ask..

love Sophia 1 🧡💛💚💜💙

now known as Selkie in the thread xxx

I do not read all of my labels which I take no notice of anyway....

I notice symptoms and work around stuff from there...whether to rest....get out in the garden...walk....get in touch with nature...cuddle my cat even more....

How are you feeling today?
