~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Hey hi hello! Welcome to the second iteration of...

~ The Toolshed ~

I decided to make a new thread, as the first one had errors and phantom pages, and was getting quite long! You can still find all the amazing pics, inspiring quotes, and uplifting messages of the first Toolshed here.

What is the Toolshed? Ain't a place to hang your hammer! Hehe this is a space where we can share the things that have helped us in our recovery. Tools, coping skills, inspiring ideas, and messages of hope and growth, is what this space is all about!!

You can stay connected and up to date on this space by favouriting, or by subscribing to the thread - head to the top of the page, and find the three dots to the right of the thread title (next to the star), click, and from the drop down menu you can 'favourite' or 'subscribe' - and clicking the star itself will also favourite the thread for you.

Favourite threads are then always available in your favourites list which should appear on the right hand side of most forums pages - or you can go to your profile and scroll down to the 'Favourites' section under your recent posts.

If you subscribe, it means that you will get a notification every time someone posts something new in the thread. So up to you if you simply want it to be always accessible, or if you want all the updates, or both!

I invite anyone who wishes to contribute to do so! It doesn't have to be pictures, it can be discussion, questions, videos, whatever you like! So without further ado, here's my latest batch!

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@MissGremlinI’m just feeling a bit disappointed in myself. Wasted $7.50 on an iced black coffee (never thought it was gonna taste THAT bad since I’ve never tried black coffee until then) which feels like a total rip-off🤡🤡🥲💀

don’t ask me why I bought it though, I just…yeah🥲🥲

not buying it ever again. Definitely not.

@Blackcloud oh that sucks. Well I mean we don't know these things until we try, so at least now you know that you don't like it.

Hope you have a good rest of the day sweet ☺️

@MissGremlin I love the colour! That is only the second double bloom gerbera I've seen, how amazing! We must be extra special at gardening 😁

@DownMoreThanUp thanks for that! Mucho hugs my brother, these quotes are so motivating and uplifting for me.

I hope your week has been a decent one, and that you and your lovely family are doing well xoxo

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@MissGremlin Wonderful affirmations! i managed to go for a walk with my wife this morning along a new bush track we had not been on before. It was awesome! We also managed to change our household water pump with a new one we bought. Our pump services two houses so we like to have a spare but that one was installed because the main pump packed up a month ago or so. The spare pump is already out of warranty but the new one isn't so it made sense to us to put the new one on in case it packs up over the next three years. For that is how long the warranty lasts. It was a mission to get it not to leak with so much pressure on the hoses but we managed in the end.

Pretty well done now though!

Face down the fear scaring you to be untrue,
for you will glance at true you even as you do!
Not to be the voice fear makes you out to be,
from that horrible self image completely free!

This is the promise i to you will give,
say i love you to yourself and live!
For caring for yourself hurting pain,
will see good life coming back again!

Hating those who hurt us very bad,
makes our heart so incredibly sad.
For why let \wrong dictate our life
when it only ever causes more strife?

Let love inside your heart be what sets free,
from a life that has become a painful memory.
For when we add love to all that inner pain,
our feelings ease and our thoughts turn sane.

@DownMoreThanUp the opposite of love is not hate. It's indifference. To hate someone means you still have some feeling for them.

I love your post, thank you xo

@MissGremlin thank you lovely, I’ve been feeling mentally tired today and not really feeling myself right now.

Any hugs would be appreciated 🫂😊
