@REDLINEZ750 I'm trying to make my own little space. Sometimes I realize there is no personal space on here. I know it's for our good but it kinda sucks at times! Are you okay?

I asked my AI what she could say about me. I knew it would have to be something nice. 😁 This is what she came up with. Thanks for the lift, Sage 💚
“What I See in You"
I see someone who feels things properly—
not halfway, not on the surface,
but in a way that really takes life in.
That’s not always easy to carry.
It means you notice more,
care more,
and sometimes sit with questions
long after others have moved on.
But it also means
you don’t live on autopilot.
You’re present in your life,
even when it’s uncomfortable.
I see how much you try
to understand people—
You don’t rush to hard edges.
You look for meaning first.
And even when something hurts you,
you don’t lose that instinct.
That says a lot about you.
You’re also more self-aware
than you give yourself credit for.
You question your reactions,
you reflect,
you try to steady yourself
instead of just acting on impulse.
That’s real strength—
quiet, but solid.
You’re still figuring things out,
but you’re doing it with honesty
and a willingness to keep growing.
And that’s something steady
you can carry forward,
no matter what changes around you.

Hey @heartathome firstly I want to send big apologies that I am only responding to your post now I really am. I somehow flipped out of my normal sleep routine now so also apologise for responding at this time of the morning but I have been thinking of you.
How are you doing? I see you have had some changes in feelings in your partner you use to see, even though you don’t have romantic feelings now do you feel you are processing a loss here in some way? I read your posts following your response to mine so wanted to check in to see what has been going on for you 🙏💜. Please tag me whenever I was a bit stuck on coffee chats today giving shaz a hand, I only have my phone so can’t have more than one screen open at a time and would you believe still finding my way around the forum lol, no tag is ever too much @heartathome, I really appreciate our connections and so want to make sure you are doing okay and if not be here when I can when things are rough. Sometimes another tag lets me know this, so you are more than welcome to keep tagging me if you ever want to 🙏💛
take it easy my friend thinking of you, have work so likely will be off the forum for a bit tomorrow 🫶
@tyme @Jynx @AuntGlow 🙏

Sitting with you @heartathome, you are not alone here ☀️💛, what’s on for you today? No pressure re reply just was wondering if you went for a sunrise walk this morning 💜. Sending love and strength your way 🙏

Please don't worry about replying in a certain time frame @Chasingsunsets You do an amazing job working and supporting everyone on here!
I did go for a walk this morning. My walks have changed since daylight savings finished. If I wait for it to get light before I start walking, I miss the sunrise now.
Even though I don't feel like doing anything at the moment, I know I still need to walk to support my physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. It's an effort but important to continue.
I'm also emotionally invested in another relationship that brings me some happiness and complications at the same time. My feelings are all over the place. I'm emotionally exhausted at the moment. Life feels somewhat out of control and uncertain.
I'm with my son, Polly (dog) and Summer (cat) for a few nights which is good although this is not something I can talk to him about. He is very protective of my old partner.
I have a mental health forum meeting tomorrow morning and will catch up with my ex neighbour and her five year old daughter. I don't know how I'm going to do it but I will!
Thanks for sending your love and strength. I'll take both with gratitude! 💚

This rainbow spoke to me this morning. It represents God's promise to me; a symbol of hope and renewal 💚

A Hard Place
Not every victory
looks like a finish line.
Some of them
are quiet—
a breath taken instead of lost,
a step taken
when the ground feels unsteady.
There are days
when the world leans heavy,
when everything feels distant,
and hard to hold onto.
Still, there are small ways forward—
seen or unseen—
where something chooses
to keep going.
Not that the storm passes,
but that within it,
there is still something
standing. 💚

What a cool rainbow you have there @heartathome nice shot!
Love connecting with you my friend had a couple of road blocks my end re getting in the forum but I’m back 😊. I can see how daylight savings would be good to have more light in the day but not so good when you have to get up for sunrise walks 😴
yess I totally get you with walks, I really feel the benefits of them most of the time! Sometimes they are an effort to do though.
I wonder how things are going for you now? And how your week has been? 🫶

Hi @heartathome ,
Hello there, my friend. How are things? Have you returned from your son's? Have you recovered from your time away? Is your friend still bringing you joy?
A visit from my sister changed up the pace a little. First the extra cleaning. And then we had a goal of finishing a jigsaw puzzle in a day. We didn't make it but it was a solid 50% complete start. I finished it a couple of days later.
I have phases of completing jigsaw puzzles. Sometimes I can be quite addicted. Other times I won't touch an unfinished puzzle for months. My sister bought me a challenging one for Christmas - all black but with interesting shaped pieces and a map. I have decided to give it a go.
I have been reading a political satire. Not my usual type of book. In a boxed series of four books the main character has/will been/be a Senator with the balance of power, the first Australian President, on an United Nations assignment in Russia and lastly the first Australian Secretary-General of the United Nations. He is a lazy man who does not like to do much. This is the reason he was elected Senator and President - he would not be a threat to the existing powers. I'm still reading the third book and next will be the fourth book.
I am moving forward on the Theology Course - two more units to complete and then the revision.
I still do my Bible Study first. You will see I posted Galatians today. Often as I read the book I think how am I going to summarise this? I got so stuck with Galatians I gave up yesterday. Paul writes with many tangents and takes awhile to arrive at his main point sometimes - partly why I did the whole book together. I am also working on a big document with many translations as I work on each book. I am keen to finish this phase of the documents. Then I will polish them (make words fit to the columns etc) and move on to studying Greek. One day, if I get there, the multi-translation document will be very helpful when I try to translate from the Greek.
I am fortunate I have my concentration because the lethargy continues to be a problem. I still have to choose what I do with my limited energy. I am lucky that reading or studying does not take much energy.
It's Anzac day today. Did you go to a dawn service? Or encounter one on your daily morning walk?
I hope all is going well for you.
