Jetlag takes about a week to settle I'm told, and I'm sure there's son Celtic wisdom to get over your post viral fatigue How's WH coping with his obcessive routines while travelling? A challenge I would think 😕 Hope this is a time yo rekindle some first love maybe.
Any good churches to visit there? Did you go this morning? Love ancient architecture and history. Churches are great for it. Hugz xox

Hadn't thought to start a new thread ....

In transit again today and have to go again now .... found a brief moment with wifi .... will catch you later and answer the above.

Hi to everyone else .... 👋🏽💗💕

Re: Far and Away

Beautiful @Faith-and-Hope, Hope you don't mind me posting this here, a pic a friend took yesterday while touring near Alice Springs. Something tranquil about it I thought 🙂

Re: Far and Away

Aw @Faith-and-Hope

I am sorry about D2 and glad it was only an ankle - if it was a sprain or a strain - she will have to hop about but not with plaster cast

Does it ever end for you with your Baby Dragons? I guess not - or really - does it for any of us

What is a face-plant - I thought that was face-transplant at the first reading - oh wow - backed up - it could be a typo - [this is Dec being puzzled]

Oh yes!!!!! _ I love the dolphins - btw - if you take down a bit of fish for them they will come when you call them - at least - they are pretty clever and they are trained with fish

Hang on - how many of them are there?

Re: Far and Away

Oh wow @Faith-and-Hope - what a week you have had - so much happening for you and your baby dragons - you are definitely in my thoughts

I have kept up to date on what has been happening for you and your family and I am so pleased that you have received some wonderful support from so many members on here.

My job here is to remind you of a few things that I promised you some time back I would when life becomes a little chaotic...

You are the strength and stability that holds your family together... you are the love and light that continues to illuminate the way forward for you all...

Although the road seems long and bumpy - you continue to walk the path with courage, faith and hope...

When it feels like the air is being sucked out of you from many different avenues ... you continue to breathe...

You are an inspiration to me and so many others... and one of the greatest pleasures I have had over the last few months - despite my own struggles - has been to get to know you...

You have shone a light over me many times and helped me to continue on even when I did not have the desire to do so...so today that love and support is mirrored back to you and multiplied to help brighten your day...

Re: Far and Away


Hello everyone @Zoe7, @Owlunar, @Shaz & @Faith-and-Hope, hope your day is a good one. Feeling a hit lonely so thought I'd pop in, connect. Love the pink roses above, gonna borrow them (screenshot) for a mothers day tx as my ma loves pink.
Faith-and-hope, sorry about D2's ankle, didn't she hurt her knee not do long ago? Poor girl. Hope it heals quickly, lots of home made 'broth' in soups good for bones & ligament healing i hear. "Life is like the ocean - always xhanging" You do a great job it seems. Also, I have a question, do you know of (or can help me find) forums like this for believers (Christian)? There's so much I'd like to share in the area of my faith and church struggles but don't feel comfortable to here. No pressure though.

I wonder a lot with the Secular Health System (the public system for those of us with limited resources) why they are so quickly disregard spiritual things or even see them as delusions. I often struggle with social anxiety, self confidence, self esteem, grief, a bit of paranoia and depression... I'm in recovery but relapses sometimes - get muddled what's real and whats not, my faith gets shaken, and that becomes even more frightening for me. I wish someone visited me in hospital with sacraments just to pray and have Holy Communion. If a strong mature holy spirit filled christian told me an understanding was wrong (a delusion) and showed me in scripture - i'd listen. But if an unbeliever said a belief was wrong, I'd just think they were criticising my faith and shut down, even if they have knowledge and power or I don't know - i don't trust them. Does that make any sense? I have noticed (in comm work) that Australian Aboriginals Dreamtime beliefs and ancesteral worship is accommodated, and elders are often called in abd consulted with to help distinguish faith from delusion. Its very empowering for the individual. Just think a christian believers forum would be useful (as easy to use as this one) which I really need when I'm when I'm in a ditch. How do we not get fragile with beliefs - they are a part of us. I'm starting to wonder about psychology & psychiatry. Apologies, this longer than i planned to post on your thread, hope it makes sense💒💜
