Far and Away

hi @Faith-and-Hope glad your photography shoot went so well. hi @Zoe7 free tools are always nice, hope you're set to have a relaxing sunday. I went for a 12km hike yesterday and got to this beautiful waterfall, not much water as there's been so little rain. I had the usual black thoughts & out of control ruminations I get hiking but am really glad I did the exercise for my body. not sure why it's sideways!

hi @Shaz51 hope you're resting you ankle & are ok today

hi @Adge hope you get some good rest today (I had surgery last year & the recovery time sent me just about crazy, I did not like being cooped up or having wounds I could see. it was only key-hole surgery so pretty minor).

hi @Snowie hope you are ok today

I am so glad you went for the hike yesterday @BryanaCamp I'll have to come back later for the image - looking forward to seeing where you went Hon.

@Shaz51 Toby is spread out next to me as usual this morning - I have been watching tv - something I recorded last night so neither of us have moved from the couch much this morning.

@Faith-and-Hope Missed catching up with you last night so hope you got some work done and I suspect you are heading to church this morning. I have another quiet day planned. My sister's partner is going to bring the tools around sometime today but I don't need to go anywhere so will be home whenever he comes. I really need to vacuum today - has been a couple of weeks since I last did it and Toby and Cat hair is everywhere. I do always feel better when the vacuuming is done and need that little pick-me-up today methinks. Hope you are okay Hon and your evening was relaxing

Morning @Zoe7 @BryanaCamp @Snowie @Shaz51 @Adge .... anyone else around 👋

Yes, off to church. Thought I was running late until I realised daylight saving finished overnight ..... I now have an extra hour in my morning 😏

haha @Faith-and-Hope Maybe hit the coffee shop and have a nice relaxing coffee Hon

Hi @Faith-and-Hope @Zoe7 @BryanaCamp @Shaz51 @Snowie

Yes the end of daylight saving is always a pleasant time of year. Coincides with cooler autumn type weather. And yes, a welcome opportunity to have an extra hour's sleep. Unfortunately I didnt get that, just not sleeping I guess. But the cooler nights do help a little. Just got too active a mind lately I suppose. Will probably go back for a sleep later.

Enjoy mixing with your church community @Faith-and-Hope . Hope you have a nice restful day on the couch with your furry companions @Zoe7

It sounds like you really need a sleep later @Former-Member Having so much going on will have your mind in overdrive and that certainly is not something that helps with sleep.

Got a little housework and school work to do as well today - and I better change my clocks soon too then will probably see what footy games are on this afternoon.

Good morning @BryanaCamp That's a lovely picture, thanks.

Yes, you've explained it well - feeling cooped up, & disfigured by a large scar (& wound).

They refused to do keyhole surgery any of the 4 times - so I've had a long scar all the way up my middle, each time.

As a plus, the surgeon removed the bulbous keloid scar (from previous 3 surgeries) this time, & removed the 5cm wide scar (split) at the base.

So I have the neatest-looking scar, that I've ever had - plus a flat tummy, for the first time in 4 years!

Hi @Zoe7

Adge

Good morning @Faith-and-Hope

Adge

Hey @Adge Quiet day for me here - usual housework and school work to finish. One week left before the holidays so looking forward to that.

gosh that does sound like major surgery, well at least a flat tummy is one upside @Adge ! You're doing well.

hi @Former-Member I really sympathise with having an overactive mind. I went on a 12km hike yesterday and at least 10km of it was taken up with pretty ferocious ruminating, a lot of thoughts & even talking out loud to myself (best done alone in the bush where no-one can hear you!) This morning my mind has turned from neutral to dark thoughts to angry thoughts, it's not fun. I'd love to just have a calm mind & enjoy my day.

take care today friends
