Taking the plunge

dear @Maggie @Former-Member

Friendshp improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

quote by: Albert Camus

we are all here thinking of you....you are not alone

take care

@Former-Member Thankyou. That means the world.❤️❤️

@Maggie

how are you at the moment?

you have been very quiet....taking time out for yourself is a good thing...

as long as you are not hiding...

I know that you were earlier struggling with medication...do hope that has been sorted..

also that you have some strong support...medically ...friendship wise....I know that you have a friend who has a son with schizophrenia...you showed understanding towards me...

wherever you are....you are being thought of in a very caring way....

stay safe and take care

oh my goodness @Maggie

I was trying to read back over the responses to see what had been happening...could not find anything...so wrote from what I remember

then clicked post....to read that you are here

Hi @Former-Member@Former-Member@Former-Member@Faith-and-Hope@Former-Member We are having a heat wave here in tassie atm, we are hotter than most capital cities, everyone here is wilting as we aren't used to this and not even summer yet. It's just after 6am and I'm headed out to water my garden. Hope your day goes okish.

@Maggie you have my sympathy with the heatwave you're experiencing. And I know just how that poor melting dog feels. Hot weather makes me feel just the same. Thankfully its been lovely weather in my part of the country, mid 20's and some showers. Perfect! However it will soon be summer and we will need to get used to increasing temperatures again very soon. I am so thankful that at the end of last summer we had air conditioning installed at our home. Phew!

Hi also to @Former-Member @Former-Member @Faith-and-Hope @Former-Member. Like Maggie, I too hope you all have at least an okay day. Really hope things are improving for you Bella3. Sending a big hug to those who need it.

Hi @Maggie - sorry to read that you are struggling so and feeling low. I hope you aren't overwhelmed. It's good to take some time out and hide away nurturing you for awhile - I do it myself now and then to recharge the batteries.

I like to retreat in my own good company and stitch, it's so relaxing I am nearly finished my sweetheart gate cross stitch - will be starting the mermaid soon.

And yes, adjusting to the rising heat would not be helping. When it gets very humid here it can be very oppressing and people become very tired and drained.

When you do have time would love to read another of your poems from your box. I won't put the short story up until you are ready. Plenty of time. Hope you enjoy your time in the garden and feel better soon. Thinking of you always.

A warm shout out to @Former-Member@Former-Member@Former-Member@Faith-and-Hope@CheerBear@Former-Member@Sans911 and all. To let you know that I am thinking of you. Sending you all warm thoughts xx

thank you @Former-Member @Former-Member
