A Poem? Maybe?

Hey @Loopy !

It is so good to have you back! Welcome, have a cyber hug or 3! We have missed you.

Kindest regards,

Kristin

kristin, thankyou, it is amazing just what the odd one or three cyber hugs can do to boost a flagging mood. Cyber

Well @Loopy

In that case when you need a cyber hug or 3 please ask - they are always available by the truck load for such as you.

Kindest regards,

Kristin

A big Thank you @kristin and @Loopy for sharing two truly amazing poems,

Also welcome back Loopy, your wise words of wisdom i have been missing, glad to hear you are doing better.

I have had a interesting last couple of days...... i had a good session with my psychologist, addressing anxiety issues that i have, which i am trying to keep from stopping me going out, and then we also addressed my fears associated with contacting old friends...... So i went out on a limb and messaged one of them yesterday afternoon, he was working so he didn't get back to me till later, but i asked if he wanted to catch up for a drink, he called me and said come round for dinner and a drink and a chat, So i rock up there, he is his usual self which is good, we have dinner have a couple of drinks, and then we start talking about everything, he is close to both my ex and me, and he knows alot of the story, The good news is tho he could tell i was remorseful, and not pleased at all with my actions, and is still my friend, altho in talking we spoke about a couple of other friends, who are definately not ones i should see just yet....

then today, i woke up at a reasonable hour, relaxed while doing some homework for psychiatrist, and then surprised myself by deciding that i wanted to go to the movies, So i went, on my own, which was ok, movies are definately better when you go with others, but i put my nerves and anxiety to the side, and watched it,

i think the main thing i need to do sometimes is actually push myself to do things, not dwell on my fears of a situation, talk my way through my anxiety, like why am i anxious, and then question the response, etc etc

Thank you

@peace

Thank you for your kind words, i am humbled.

I always find myself writing and deleting posts, so often, because if i read them and i don't think they are worthwhile, they get deleted, i delete alot of posts, lol usually to do with me and my own stuff, i am glad that in some way shape or form, my posts are maybe helping you a little.

I know that everyone's posts to me always help, they can bring a brightness to a glum mood, they can make us smile, they can encourage us or remind us of the strength that we don't realise that we have.

Strength, hope, Knowledge

A burden shared is a burden halved

if lacking knowledge, hope is there

if lacking hope, strength is there

if lacking strength, knowledge is there

In each other strength, knowledge and hope is always found

A kind word, a simple gesture, a knowing comment

we may not expierence the same things

but with our differences comes, understanding

and with understanding comes,

hope, strength, knowledge

Thank you
