Coming to terms with reality

hello @Appleblossom

thinking of you and your son .....sending you warm feelings during your busy times

Hello @A2Z

thanks for your suggestions.....posing questions respectfully is a good way of finding out how a person is feeling or what they would like to talk about

hello @Adek

I imagine that it is hard writing on here from another country...even though you have access to the forums the same as we do

also english not being your first language....at times responding with the english language might not be the best way of you expressing something very meaningful to you

please if you ever feel misunderstood or unable to express yourself fully always ask for help...that shows great strength in my eyes

having said that I think that you express yourself very clearly using a second language

how do you say my friend in your language? I would love to learn a few words of your language if you are open to that concept and of course feeling well enough.

take care

Selamat Datang @Adek

In my church during the sign of peace I say that to the Indonesian and Malays in our choir. My Jewish friend in the RC choir says "shalom".

Sometimes when I have a sense of humour I might say "G'Day" I know the Eternal One understands my mental workings and that helps me a lot. Mostly though I just say "peace".

I have not been in KL since 1981. There was a lot of high rise and concrete then. A big progressive city.

@eudemonism @eudemonism Thank you very very much.

I did not make my zoo shift today as I was over medicated for it, but otherwise have been quiet and productive, catching up on things and doing singing practise..

@A2Z

oh goodness @Adek you continue to inspire me as from the first time I read all of the things that you have achieved

temanku...I hope that I have got that right xx

we are thankful for you joining us here

language can be so misunderstood but universal love is so empowering

I do hope that you don't get too busy with all of your achievements to stay in touch with your friends here xx

@Appleblossom

don't you go forgetting me now!!!

incredible isnt it @eudemonism look at what you have created here a family of new friends with so much to offer this world

so that means that you have so much to offer this world because they found you

think about that

@Former-Member I am sure I meant to tag you but I double tagged @eudemonism and didnt check before I posted.

Silly me .. lol .. scarf toss and cyber laugh with you. @Former-Member

@Adek I credit the positive experiences I had in your part of the world as giving me hope in humanity. I spent 6 months in South East Asia and they are wonderful memories. I was 20 when I left Australia and turned 21 on Lake Toba on my way to Medan and KL.

My mother's tongue was not English so I am always very conscious of language and ethnic issues. I think that is why I sing a lot now.

I was wondering which city you were in as I was really curious about your lifestyle of seeing all the free academics. It is possible in a well developed city. I am in Melbourne and I think I am going to do something similar. Just a couple of months ago I went to my first alumni event and it was fabulous and may have even given me new friends. First I have to settle some of my accomodation issues.

All good.

Shalom. My last post reminded me to call my Jewish friend and it was perfect timing and very good decisions were made.

Gentleigh Bentleigh is one of my silly sayings.
