Hi again @Maggie

I was sorry to read that your day was awful. What has been happening my friend? Here if you need to talk. Sending a warm hug 🤗xx

Thanks @Former-Member

Hi @Maggie

How are you today? Is Sunday a better day for you?

Its very hot here already - 33 degrees. Did a bit of tidying up around the house. I love order. Am now lying down taking it a bit easy. I have written a small paragraph on the short story which took forever. I am starting to wonder if I can write anymore? - it use to flow and the words/paragraphs came together magically. That was a few years ago since I have written anything fictional though. It wasn't flowing this time like I wanted but do have something on paper. It will be enough to start a short story. I will get there 😊 Thinking of you 💕xx

@Former-Member Hi there, I'm in bed also. Cancelled today. Struggling hard atm. My friend stormed out last night, I haven't told her how I'm feeling, she made it clear some time ago she was uninterested and I respect that. But last night my counsellor rang while she was there and I just said I could talk then, that somehow upset my friend. Today I don't care, she has to deal with her own stuff and I must deal with mine. The world goes dark and it feels like I'm alone, true to a point, but I now have Forumland and caring people like you. I just have to roll with it til it passes, then back into it.

I get like that writing songs also. Sometimes they just flow and come together, other times it's just not there. I love the way you write on here, always clear and interesting.

Its 14 here, wild wind and raining. You would think we were on the other side of the world, not in the same country. I hope you manage a rest, I might have a shower, that sometimes helps a little. Life is rough @Former-Member. Thinking of you.

Hello my dear friend @Maggie

I wish I could take away your pain. Take you to another place were you could find peace.

Yes, you are not alone as we are here for you and love surrounds you. I offer a warm hug and will always be here for you. I leave the song below at the end of this post as a resting place for your soul. May you find peace there.

I am glad you are not letting your friends selfish reaction get you down. Now is about you getting well and the focus needs to be on that. We will get through this together and tomorrow is a brand new day.

It sounds cold in Tassie today - quite opposite to where I am. Yes, the weather is vastly different. I am not looking forward to our summer temps here if this is a taste of what is to come.

My writing is flowing today and I am half way finished. I am pleased with the progress so it should t take long now. I feel elated when my creativity flows like this. I think you will enjoy also our short story writing group, it will be a lot of fun and something to look forward to soon. You are a very talented writer and it will be interesting what we and others on here will come up with.

One day at a time my friend. Know this dark period will pass to where the sun will rise up to meet you again. Love you lots always ❤️🤗xxxx

@Former-Member Thankyou, I did enjoy the song you posted. I reminded me of my counsellor, my angel. I rarely ring out of our meeting times as I know she's busy, but if I send an email, she will give me a phone call as soon as she's able. We've been working together for 13 yrs now, a long time. I need someone to walk slowly. Yes my friend is selfish, it always has to be about her. Mostly I don't mind. But when the going gets really tough, and I can't find thick enough masks, I have to let her deal with her own issues while I scrape myself together. Tomorrow is another day. Thank you for your warm hug my friend.

So your writing is flowing. That's good to hear. We will have fun with the thread once you are able to start. It will be interesting to read replys.

Yes cold and wet here. I see on the news about the heat already up north and wonder what on earth summer will be like. Do you have air con? I hope so, the heat would be unbearable without it.

I got a phone call today to say my fence is going up tomorrow morning at 9am. Good news. Fur baby will be safe. I made sure I got a fence she can see through so all good.

I hope you have a restful night. I had a nice warm shower and put on some smellies, every little bit helps. Warm hug.

Hi @Maggie

So pleased you enjoyed the song - your social worker sounds like a wonderful support. We don't have this support service in our area I think given the high population and cuts to government funds for such. Mental health resources are barely existence now because of these cuts.

How are you feeling today?

I did have a wonderful weekend - I so enjoyed working on the start of the story and listening to good music. I really did feel alive. But alas it can never last - my husband's lastest test results showed a mass calcified growth in his bladder. Not good. He is in a lot of pain and we have to wait until we see an oncologist specialist on 1st Nov before we can address it anymore. I feel so overwhelmed @Maggie. Worn down. The weekend showed me just how wonderful life can be doing those simple things in peace we enjoy. But life just won't give me a break and let me live. I have been crying most of the evening. I keep telling myself this will pass. My soul just feels so heavy.

I don't know how I will go finishing the story off. I may have a good day where the stress lifts a little and then I will make the most of it and try finishing it. It did give me great joy starting it. Seems happiness is not for me my friend - not in this life. And I know what you mean about feeling so alone in it. Having you there does ease that for me.

For me now it is one day at a time and I am grateful for the small good in it. I hope your day was better. Look forward to hearing about it. Love always xxx
