Far and Away

@Zoe7 you have been super busy today, not only with all the 'chores' you've listed below, but also finding the time to help me out with your kind words.

I guess keeping busy, can help keep the mind from drifting off to negative thoughts. I need to keep busy, but recently don't have the motivation to do much. It was an accomplishment this afternoon having a shower, taking the fur baby for a walk, and then heading to Target to buy some sports wear stuff, so I can go walking soon.

Do not underestimate just how much you have achieved @WIP Sometimes just having a shower is the most we can do but to walk Levi and go to Target is impressive. I tend to get on a roll and just keep going - much to my detriment sometimes but I also have friends here that 'pull me into line' when I am doing too much I do find keeping busy much better for me mentally but physically I often suffer so still trying to find that balance myself.

What kind of dog is Levi? Is he a Caboodle like you other dog was?

@Former-Member Hi there - just noticed you pop up so you must be back. How was your break?

Hey there @Former-Member you're not alone and we are here as a community to listen Looks like you've got a lot of good support in here, feel free to share your story as you need.

@Zoe7 Hey! Was super relaxing thanks for asking & thanks for all of your incredible support of the forum crew this evening. 👏

So glad it was relaxing @Former-Member I need to take a leaf out of your book and do the same before I head back to work next week - a couple more days of going flat out then I can hopefully have the weekend off.

Thanks for that vote of confidence - it is no problem at all - happy to support those members that need it tonight 👍😁

You're really lucky to have friends in your life to help you. Treasure that blessing you have. I'm sure you do though. I can't wait till I have the energy/motivation to just start doing 'stuff'Little Levi

My beautiful Ollie dog

Levi is a Cavoodle, like Ollie was. He's a straight haired Cavoodle, which is unusual. I didn't know they existed, until his coat didn't curl more as he grew.

My friends that keep me in line are all here on this forum @WIP - and I am lucky to have them. I have been here for nearly 4 years and have built up some wonderful connections and a whole bunch of beautiful friends in that time ...for some of us it is more than just a place to find support, it is a real community and you are now part of that - so I hope you find it as cring, compassionate and supportive as I do.

My parent's had a dog called Ollie too - he also passed away a couple of years ago (as did his sister) but they have more dogs now and love them just as much. It is hard to get over losing a pet - especially when you are alone and they are your family but it seems you have a new best friend now and that is something to value.
