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.

Hi @Kurra
I'm guessing you are more than half way there. I'm glad you don't have to do all the driving. Awesome effort me thinks that you've done it. I hope you get a good run with the drive.
@Former-Member. Here is a photo of my dog but I'll only leave it up until you like the post so I know you've seen it, for anonymity reasons. He was focused on the ball (he is very ball centric) and the paw up is the kelpie thing. He had a lovely time last night.
Hi @Decadian
How are you? How are your Christmas breakfast preparations going?

Hi everyone 😊
Must have just missed you @Kurra ... as @Former-Member said .... glad you're not driving that sort of distance alone ....
We used to travel with our cat in the back window of our car .... she wasn't too fussed the first day we set out, and rabbited around in the car for a while until she found her perch up the behind us kids .... Turned a lot of heads with cars travelling behind us or over-taking cos she must have looked like a child's toy until she moved ....
Glad @Former-Member was there for you @Zoe7, and you're feeling okay today.... all the best with the Christmas shopping and the farewell. Hope it all goes well.in the moment. Will be thinking of you all day.
Good to hear your feedback too @Former-Member ... that you managed your bitter-sweet farewell and felt it was right for your special friend.
Hi @Former-Member ..... 🤗❤️ .... we all have low-post times Hon ..... sometimes I just pass thru "liking" unless I come across someone in the moment who really needs a response. You are that responder often, sweetheart that you are .... and just want to gently point out that that is actually part of your identity .... can you tell I come from a family strong in teaching background ? Some is nature and some is nurture. You still have natural responses coming thru, and you and your team are nurturing the rest back into place, or into a new place, by degrees .... keep heart over it all. You're getting there despite the setbacks when they happen .... which will reduce as their counter-weight increases .... 😘❤️💕
Hi @Shaz51 ... 😊💕. Thanks for all the call-outs ... I have been following your news. Hugs ...🤗❤️

This is not the @Kurra we've come to know. Your work thing must be really bad for you to be considering this. Take your time to decide. You have my support whatever you decide though (not that you need it) because the other thing I know about Kurra is that she knows herself really well, another quality I admire. I hope you have some time to slow down now and heal. Thanks for the update. Sending hugs 💜🤗
PS. I guess there is another factor which I hadn't thought of until now that may be causing you to consider retirement. If that is the case my above statement holds. You know yourself well and I know you will adjust regardless. I really hope for the best for you💜🤗
