Far and Away

Hi @Former-Member .... 😊

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope, how's your adventure going? Is there a particular thread your putting updates? 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

Hi @Faith-and-Hope... ooh nice for you to go home and see your big dragons 😍
Hope that goes well.
I’m waiting on the blind man at my house. The joke here is wondering whether he’ll have a dog or a stick 😜
But I’m just looking forward to seeing my new blinds.
Glad it’s friday to be honest, I’ve driven to mum’s every day and completed more chores there than usual plus plenty of my own.
Hoping to have some quiet time at home on the weekend.🌿

Re: Far and Away

Hi @Appleblossom,
Glad to read MH appointment went well.
We have a few coming up that I am anxious about. I think I have been overfilling my agenda as a distraction to be honest.
I feel a bit like you, exhausted. Hope you find some way of floating this evening. 🏝

Re: Far and Away

Hello "Far and Away" people @Shaz51 @Former-Member @Catcakes @Former-Member @Faith-and-Hope

We need relief from our burdens sometimes, whether the escape is travel, work, reading, or other escapist activity, but only long enough to make good decisions.

@CatcakesI dont have a clear idea of how much is enough, too little or too much.

Singing keeps me being involved with my whole self and mind and being, but I dont see it as the deeper meaning of my life.nIt just become a thing that was possible, and with all the negatice things that had occurred, something that was positive.

I have pulled back on 2 things recently. I withdrew from one choir and will only do Front of House. At least I keep some contact, get to distinguish between being active and performing and being passive as an audience and a free ticket. They gace me a solo last year so I dont want to just dump them. I just keep trying my best and see what life evolves from that.

The other area I have partially withdrawn from is the Comminity Guide Role. I do not want to leave the forum, but to relax my expectations of my self and reduce the expectations of others.

Had a silly experience this morning then, :rewarded self" with a packet of Tim Tams. Its been a year since that little sin. Now off to make a healthy Burgen Sandwich.

Re: Far and Away

Sounds like you’re working through the need for balance in doing for others and caring for self in a healthy way @Appleblossom.
I can recognise it’s importance and could even give wise counsel to others but still can’t practise it for myself.
I am getting better at treating myself to some time out or pampering but the imbalance of doing for others still exists.
Enjoying the rain today though because it always gives me permission to stay in for a bit 🌿
