I thought I'd start a discussion where we can check in with members and use this space to keep in contact. It's a space to be able to say how you really feel and it's a space for the good, the bad and the ugly moments in our lives.

@CheerBear I think I will need to. Today in my mess I didn’t get to apologise....well I don’t think I did. I feel like once I do this maybe I can find a way to move on a bit. It was awesome having my friend there as a mediator and helped to control the conversation so I didn’t get out of control. She was the one who pushed it a bit so she could be there to support. I hadn’t asked her to but I’m glad she was there as she did do a good job of it all.
She kept making things humourous and paid me out lots but for me in a healthy way, there is always lots of endearment too. That humour helps ground me. It’s the way we have always dealt with serious stuff. It works for us.
Theres a huge woohoo for the reading @CheerBear. That is great news. I hope you get to read some today. 💜
i suspect you are about to start start your day with LF soon so I’ll let you go. Lovely talking in real time. Hoping that all will be ok. 💜🤗

Wow ❣ @Teej ... I know it hasn't returned the world to rainbows and sunshine (just yet) .... but wow ❣ ..... that is huge and I am so pleased for you. I certainly hope it begins the healing process for both of you.
And celebrating the fact that you got back into the respite centre with art on the agenda ... Woo-Hoo for that too .....
You know I would be all over this with images, but I am holding back in respect of @CheerBear's situation ..... I know those days .... I had them with my Mum.
Hugs n hugs to both of you .....
💜💐💕💜💐💕💜💐💕💜

Today didn't start too well @Teej but I forced myself to the pool and that has made a difference. I had the pool to myself after everyone left after the hydrotherapy session so I took the time to float around and just BE. It was so calming and just what I needed today.
I have some plans to get things done this afternoon and then head to the beach tomorrow with Toby for a walk on the beach.
Sending you a little light to guide you through the day @Teej and @CheerBear - thinking of you too CB
