~ 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!

@Nala2022 You’re cat’s name is Nala. Fascinating.

Also the name of type of native grass 🌱
What sort of cat? Can you post a photo of your cat?

Tuesday is my recovery day from Landscaping Monday. It’s 11:47 in WA and I’m still in bed in my pjs because I hate cold weather 😆

Now I must do woodwork 🪚🧰 and pack a box 📦 or two, to transport 🚛 to my son.

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Haha I didn’t know that about the name Nala being a type of native grass — that’s pretty cool @Glisten

She’s just a domestic cat, nothing too fancy, but very much the queen of the house.

And yes, I can definitely post a pic 😊

Sounds like a very slow, cosy recovery morning in WA, I don’t blame you for staying in pjs in this cold weather 😅

Hope the woodwork and packing doesn’t feel too heavy today

@ENKELI Good seeing you around.

i'm facing some really challenging times at the moment. On Sunday i could clearly see that in my depressive through the floor i harbour my self destruction. So i really have to learn to regulate truth and love into this state, much more carefully than i did on Sunday. For it is like a bottomless pit within me my state.

Today has been more of a revelation how such extreme self within self came about in the first place and how best 'defuse' this state His love and grace rather than more exclusion and suppression.

Humbling but important lessons learned.😚

But I'm honoured to share it too
