I will...

Hi @Vanessa5 thanks for sharing that. You sound like a very caring and insight ful soul. I will have to look up those artist.
I think you're right about needing to find that balance between future goals and present mindfulness. Balance is something I really need to find in life. I am so time poor in my life I can't seem to find a way to Mic music back in But maybe one-day.
I think volunteering sounds awesome and hope that it goes well 🙂
Today I will be productive and cross some things off my list 🙂

Hi @Former-Member. I'm wondering how you're getting on and hoping things are going ok for you. I don't know too much about what happens with you and yours but I know tomorrow can be tricky for lots of reasons for lots of families. If that's the case for you, I hope you're able to have a moment of feeling proud for all that I am imagining you've done for yours to make things better.

Hmmm, that's a bit cryptic so I'm hoping you still get it. Really, just thinking of you that's all. (Hope it's ok to post this to you.)

Thank you @CheerBear - is it a tricky kind of day for you tomorrow too?
I'm really finding it hard and for so many reasons.
I read about how much you are doing and how you're going, and how well your lf are doing and am often in awe of you 🙂 one of my lf isnt doing so well for a variety of reasons i guess and its hard, not so much to be proud of here... apart from just being around another day...
hugs for you too

It's such a tricky day here too @Former-Member. I had a feeling you'd be feeling it as well.

I'm sorry to hear one of yours isn't doing so well. I can understand how hard that might be. Mine have their moments in different ways and it can get hard here too. I think our situations have one big difference, and that difference has made a huge difference to mine (grrr at having to be so careful that maybe this makes no sense here!)

I can see a bazillion things I want to do better for mine, but I know that often I'm doing the best I can with what I have. I also understand how it can be almost impossible to feel like there's much to be proud of when you're right in the middle of the mess. Honestly, I think surviving is the best thing to be proud of, especially when surviving is so hard sometimes.

I get how hard we can be as parents on ourselves, but I really hope you're able to find some space to be kind and gentle on yourself.

Big BIG hugs to you and yours

💗

Thankyou @CheerBear.. I'm thinking I can guess what the difference might be... It is hard to be open here! I always feel that you 'get it' which helps so much. Hopefully tomorrow will be ok for you and lf - you deserve tomorrow to recognise what you do on your own xx
