Hey everyone! This is a support space for @L-B .
@L-B , would you like to kick off by giving a bit of an intro here about yourself for those who haven't read your previous posts?

Totally agree with you @L-B . The ball is in your court. Even if the whole world changes which is out of your control, you can still control how you respond.
Do what's right for you. And if it starts off okay, but later doesn't, then change. Right?
I hear you. We live and learn.

I think Victor Frankl said something similar @tyme : that we have control over how we respond (not his exact words). Thanks for listening...I agree we live and learn and grow too.

For me, I worked most of my life, for about 5 years, I stopped work to volunteer instead. Then later, I found myself back in the workplace.
I love finding jobs to do. I also love finding study opportunities @L-B

Hi @tyme @Oaktree , I've been off-line for a bit. A friend of mine was very ill and almost died. I'm carrying an injury at present and another friend has been given a terminal diagnosis. Sometimes, it just pours...

@L-B
Oh gosh!!!
How are you holding up? Emotionally? I am so sorry things are not going well at the moment.

@L-B @tyme
Remember the letter I sent to my Mum. Well it came back unopened - return to sender. The whole thing was really hard on me emotionally and I won’t try again. If she was not in fact at that address then I don’t know where she is and I am not about to hire a private investigator

Surprisingly, I am feeling buoyant this moment because I've rested but it is testing.. @Oaktree . I cannot imagine how I'd feel in your shoes in regards to the unopened letter you sent. Hope you can bounce back even stronger from this experience.
