@ENKELI how's your day been sweetheart?

Hello @NightFury my sweet, how's things over there?

Hi @MissGremlin I am okay.

How are things over there?

@NightFury how did lawn bowls go sweet?

Things have really crashed down here, I'm trying to get through to a crisis service but it's busy so unable to connect me (I'm safe).

We got a win @MissGremlin I didn't play very well. We finished on top of the ladder, so it means we're in finals next weekend.

Hang in there, my friend. I hope you get through soon.

@NightFury that's so good that you got a win, well done. I hear you sweet, but I'm sure you did your best. How are you feeling about the finals next weekend?

I'm doing my best to, it's hard when it gets busy.

I know it makes me sound like a bad team mate, but I was hoping that we would lose today and we wouldn't have to play next week @MissGremlin because I just want my Saturdays back. It's an extra commitment that I'm struggling to find the energy and motivation to do.

@NightFury i completely understand sweet and your feelings are so valid here. I don't think it makes you sound like a bad team mate, I know how hard it's been for you trying to manage so much. Hugs sweetheart, be gentle with yourself ❤️

You acknowledging that makes me teary @MissGremlin I just...I need to/want to reduce my commitments. Having to go to practice during the week after work and having to get up and moving on a Saturday morning is hard with everything else...

Awww @NightFury my sweet ❤️. I really hear you on this sweet, that need/want to reduce commitments is something that I think is necessary when your mind and body is overwhelmed with so much. Would it be worth considering taking a break from bowls and reassessing whether it's something that still fits in with your current lifestyle and feelings? I know there's also a connection there with your grandpa so understand that aswell. Sometimes just having that time away though can reignite the passion for something that once brought us joy if it's indeed still there.
