@Bunniekinsi love the hairy pea pod, and yes I don't think shorts would work with the hairy pea pod.
Ohh how well we hide things from people and even from ourselves sometimes. But I am glad that you eventually got help with your depression and with eveything else. You make the world a happier place!

@Former-Member Now that made me smile! What a wonderful compliment! xx![]()
I'm getting there NellBell ... still want to do that big drive into the desert/unknown get to that outback pub and lie on that old mattress and stare at the ceiling. On my bucket list of things I will do before I get to old to do them.
What things have you got on your bucket list to do before you are too old to do them?

@BunniekinsI hope one day you get to that backyard pub!
My major thing on my bucket list is to have a white Christmas in Canada. Want to be over there for Chrissy day surrounded by snow!! Been a dream of mine for a long time.

@Former-Member how wonderful! Canada is meant to be beautiful and I agree to have a white Christmas particularly with young children would be fantastic. I hope you get your wish.

@Bunniekinsso do I. Have been saving for it for a number of years now so I am hoping in a few years we get our wish. And yes my kids would love it, they are such snow bunnies!

Hi everyone .... 💕
Good morning @AshleyF and welcome to the forums ..... 🌷
It is so great to hear that you have moved so far in the healing process that you are identifying very strongly with the faith-light within you ..... that is wonderful to hear .....
Others are still moving gently, gently .... one baby step through the darkness at a time .... as yet unable to identify any stable source of light in their own situation, particularly if it is a PTSD injury that has suddenly popped up, seemingly out of nowhere, and scrambled their life. Hearing that others have found that light and learned to engage with it can be very hope-inspiring, but confusing at the same time. Processing things takes time, and some of us are very new to it.
Have you seen this thread ? It's a lovely way to meet the crowd -
@Former-Member .... big hugs from me this morning .... I had an up-and-down night, not so much emotionally, but just trying to tone down all the chatter that has emerged n my brain since yesterday's counselling sesh ..... oh boy .... :face_with_rolling_eyes: ... but I had the lovely @Zoe7 and @Sans911 being very entertaining on ANC thread for a while there .... (hi lovelies 🤗)

Morning @Faith-and-Hope
Thank you for that (I hope you know what I am tlaking about. If not will respond on another thread). I can not always get the words out properly.
I hope you got some sleep after your up and down night. Your mind must be so full after your sessions and must take quite awhile to get your thoughts together. I did see your antics with @Sans911 and @Zoe7 on the other thread with some nice music happening. Seems like you had a little concert!!
❤💜

Re: RE: Darkness surrounds me
Yeah ..... it was a lovely way to connect through some difficult hours ..... sometimes distraction is the only way forward in a difficult situation, but it is also important to be respectful about it ..... it can be a tricky balance at times because the intention is not to invalidate the way someone is feeling .....
I did get some sleep, but will need to top it up sometime today .....
