Sharing our thoughts of the day - the good, the bad, the ugly, the inspirational

Sharing our thoughts of the day - the good, the bad, the ugly, the inspirational

Hi all

I thought I would start a thread of sharing our everyday thoughts, whether they be good, bad, inspiring, general feelings and emotions, chaotic, ingenuis, life events, health concerns, loneliness - whatever. It can be good news we have experienced personally or witnessed - it can be issues that concern us that are not being addressed. Anything.

Depression can be a lonely battle and part of coping is connecting with others expressing what is on our minds without judgement. To help stop those racing thoughts perhaps and put them out there whether they are concerns or "just thoughts about life in general", then walk away; or just the need to express something on your mind for that day and happily discuss. Whatever is the thoughts of the day. Let's share. I will be regardless

Lets get to know each other.

My thought of the day was how so many suffer in silence and how little help there is out there (without a huge cost involved) for those who simply just want to be heard and their feelings validated. Or whose pain is too hard to talk about in person with the added fear of judgement or reprisal, can Share their thoughts here safely. No need to follow up or respond if one does not wish to. Or for those who feel there thoughts are irrelevent and not important enough to express - there is no such thing, can do so here and obtain feedback if so desired.

Whether good thoughts or not so good, whether our pain or dreams - most are not really listening.

I am.

People are very interesting - and we can be enriched by their individuality if we only take the time to listen to their thoughts. And that can be a mixed bag as we are. Don't be shy.

The last couple of days a few have tried to hurt me, break me, attempting to take the good out of me but will never succeed as it only makes me stronger. And the love I have received from my partner and friends heals any attempts at wounding. Am grateful. Never let any one deliberately hurt or hold you back and keep you down. It matters naught about what others think or how they misjudge when we know in ourselves that we are good people with good intentions. Those who matter will hold us up as does our own integrity. So rise above hurt with your head up high. Its saids more about them than you 🙂

@Kurra - just received my husbands first test results. They are advising further imagining tests for suspected complex lesion on his kidney. For a suspected malignant tumour. The challenge has begun - need prayers more then ever!

Thank you @Appleblossom for your uplifting, sincere and supportive post. You are a wonderful person who is worth their weight in gold.

Indeed it is a very difficult time and yes, our precious intimacy, the strength of our love for each other will see us through.

I am not sure how we continued our volunteer work this week but we just can't let them down. I was told that our show of strength is helping others to get through their struggles. So I must continue....too much is at stake.

But at times I do feel the enormity of it all and feel tired....I need strength currently and yours and others friendship, my husbands love and my own faith is keeping me going at present. I can't, won't give up as there is too much at stake. It's now all about holding onto faith, hope and love one day at a time from moment to moment. It's really so hard and painful that I can't think ahead without feeling overwhelmed as I know what's ahead, what we will have to face, but I also deep down believe there will be a positive outcome. That's the key to endurance.

Thank you for thinking of us my friend - it means a lot. Please keep in touch as I do see you as a friend. Sending much love 💕

I just forgot to tag you

Maybe dont look to far ahead .. but wrap yourself in the good nourishing ... thoughts books music art

so you can just be.

In my childhood we were often involved in charitable activities .. i loved the gentleness of the grey sisters ... so I keep reminding myself of those things to balance out the ... 'uglier' memories .. even just putting it like that makes it less hurtful ...

Thank you @Shaz51 😊

Yes, one day at a time and doing our best is all we can do.

I have a big day with hubby tomorrow as we are seeing specialists and he will be undergoing a mirage of tests over this next week. We are still reeling under the shock but will take it as it comes.

My best friend and her husband came over to comfort us today offering her support if I should need it. Just little things that mean a lot such as accompanying me to the hospital or offering to drive me if I get too upset - means a lot to me as I don't have extended family. I am alone that way and it can be so hard - and she has come to the rescue. Thank goodness as I need to be strong for my partner.

Funny you mentioned having a cup of green tea as my bestie just brough me over a package of green tea with chia! So let's enjoy one together 💕🤗xx
