Life can be a Pain

Hi @Owlunar,

thanks for a piece of your resilience pie 🙂 much needed.

My 81yo fav aunt says

"Getting old is not for whipms!"

Just do the best you can Dec, there is no right & wrong in this.

Staying @ home (not residential care) as long as you can is great, & you're doing that

You go girl! lol

Big day here, talk of it elsewhere. Sleep well tonight 🙂

@Appeblossom, i'd love to talk more about yhe differences for u re trauma & stress, wad it? I had an episode yesterday, dissociative - think i know what u mean but? ...

@Owlunari dont really have anything to add so will just leave these here for you and maybe they will brighten your day abit

Oi @outlander

I love those owls

They are perfect - thanks for sending them

I am feeling much better today - the idea is fine-tuning and finding the subtle difference between needing to rest and needing to push ourselves - yesterday I took the easy option and it work

Fridays are busy days so I got up early and did my relaxing and watching something I recorded with my coffee etc - and I have some time before the fun starts - sigh - Fridays can be wearing

Sorry but I am not up on what's happening in your life - not that I don't care - yesterday I was writing essays to people and ran out of time - so I can wish you the best with what is making your day harder or easier or whatever and all the best etc -

Thanks for your message - I have lots of catching up to do

Hi @Former-Member

Abraham Lincoln said "It's not the years in our life that matters - it's the life in our years"

I agree with that - when we are having weary and worn out days that can be hard to see and I took the day off yesterday - but in the evening I went outside to bring my bin in and water my plants etc and the sky was full of stars and the crescent moon and I stood staring up and rejoiced - to me this moment was worth paying for with achiness that tires me -

But I really have a thing about counting blessings unless we take not of our tribulations too because they are all part of our life - our day - each minute really. I like living alone and pleasing myself - all sorts of things are interesting - but then - I think I use these things to turn off the discomfort - I have the space to be myself

Gotta post fast today - okay - domestic help is here already - catch ya lata

hugs to you too @Former-Member @Shaz51@Appleblossom and everyone here

Hi @Shaz51

I didn't around to everyone yesterday and like most Fridays today was busy

I am feeling a lot better today which is a good thing - sometimes we can all have something on our chest or on our minds - maybe it's a big thing or a small thing - and what I had on my mind - my hidden story is no secret but really personal - sharing it with my therapist has left me feeling a little unsettled but it's really good that I have shared it with someone after but we all have something somewhere I guess

I hope you and Mr Shaz are okay -

Thinking of you - Dec

Hi @Faith-and-Hope

I hope your day hasn't been over-stressful - I can see you are doing a good job here and feel I need to say something though I am stuck about what -

But you are saying the best stuff and this is wonderful - I really hope things are okay.

Thinking of both of you

Hi @Former-Member

Gotta catch up later - the screen is aggravating my headache

Thinking of you though

Dec
