Taking the plunge

Hey @CheerBear I am going to tell you a little story so lay back in your beanbag, put your feet up and enjoy storytime with Zoe...

There was once a scared little butterfly. She did not know what day it was or what time but day after day she put one wing in front of the other and will faint little flitters began to move her wings again. It was not easy for this little butterfly but with the encouragement of all her friends around her she continued to flitter along ...ever so slowly at first but as she became more confident that her wings could carry her she finally began to move out of her comfort zone and dip her wings back into the world.

Now this little butterfly was super scared and did not think she would ever be able to fly again. She tried time and time to spread her wings but kept getting knocked back by the slightest breeze. When she felt that there was no hope suddenly one of those breezes lifted her wings and she began to rise into the air. As she rose she could see the colours of the flowers, the birds high in the treetops and the sun in all it's glory beaming down upon here. She began to flitter her wings even more - in wonder of what else was out there ...and as she did a whole brave new world opened up in front of her. Slowly and tentatively she soared higher and higher, that breeze beneath her wings increased - lifting her above the clouds ...and with that the world began to turn from grey to colour as what was now in front of her was far more wondrous and far more vast than she had ever imagined it could be ...life changed in that instant as fear turned to calm and doubt into hope.... the little butterfly had learnt to fly.

So I say to you CB - go for it. You will never know if you do not try and the more times you try the better at it you become. If you get wonky or it gets too much then you take time out again but this time you will know you can get back up. Take the leap Hon and see how far you can fly

@CheerBear @Zoe7 @Former-Member That was worth taking a peep outside my cave. You can do it @CheerBear 💪💪💪 Back I go. ❤️💙💛💜💚

@CheerBear Dropping off an early ☕️☕️☕️☕️.

How was your yesterday? So many big positive and challenging things happening in your life @CheerBear . Who knows what the year ahead holds.

I hope you made it through the heat ok. The crew would find it draining.

@outlander @Zoe7 @Former-Member @TheVorticon @Gazza75 @eth 👋👋💛💛💛💛

“Homework” sounds good @CheerBear . No need to rush it though. The heat is draining, very draining. Glad you and the crew spent the night under the aircon.

We are cooler, with rain, but it’s so muggy. I had a shower, anything that helps.

Counsellor was good thanks. We covered a lot of ground. She has a potatoe in her garden weighing in at 1.1 KgsLol. She grows her own veg and fruit. That’s not the ground we covered though.

I always seem to be full of questions.

I painted up a storm in the cave @CheerBear . I might put them on the craft thread later. Depends if confidence wavers or not.

Did psych help with other big stuff ( if you want to share). .?

Real this week sound good @CheerBear . Space to talk honestly and openly is important. Support from him will go a long way.

Advocate loudly for you on the uni front is awesome. Flexible hours would make it manageable and do able. I understand you not wanting to be let down again. More waiting, which is hard always. 🤞🤞🤞

I think I made a mistake putting the article through the editors letters section. I don’t even know if it made it to the paper or not. I tried checking, but got lost in too much info. They don’t let you know, which is frustrating.

I had another go at the health department last week. An email. I did receive a follow up phone call. About something else. Lol.
