~ 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!

@Mustang67 been reading some of those RavenWolf pieces you've posted - they're so comforting to read! plus i love the name RavenWolf itself, sounds so badass!!

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@rav3n yes, I find Ravenwolf's pieces so inspirational. I commented on one of her pieces on FB saying "I love this. I am part way through this journey, but I refuse to give up. For my daughter's sake. So, I can show her what resilience is."

She replied "and you can do it. I’ve been there. Keep going."

It was great to receive support from her.

I have three of her books on my Kindle, so they are the next books that I will be reading.

And yes Ravenwolf is a badass name.

@Mustang67 i had a little old lady smile at me today and she waved. it made my heart sing. such a little thing but it meant the world to me xxx

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@Bunniekins that is beautiful. It doesn't take much to make another person happy or grateful.

I often smile and say hi to strangers when passing by. You never know what they have been going through and just like you, it could make their day.

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@Mustang67 that is so true. if i am standing at my letter box waiting for my support worker and someone walks by if they make eye contact i always smile and say good morning. makes you feel good too i think anyway.xx

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Yes @Bunniekins it does make you feel good. Well I always do. I like being kind whenever I can. It is a win win. You feel good for doing it and they feel good for receiving it.
