Taking the plunge

Good morning @Former-Member. I hope you are feeling relieved today. 💜💜💜☕️☕️☕️🐾🐾🐶🐶

A little relieved @Maggie but very unsure and confused along with it. Nothing official yet. 😔 So still holding my breath. 💘

Lol @CheerBear I’ve done so much of the, not waiting for paint to dry. Some use a hair dryer, I don’t own one, but might soon. 😂😂😂

I understand the waiting for people to see straight through you feels. I often have discussions with counsellor about maybe I’m deceiving her, hard to believe soneone can find some good in the rubble. It will take time. Lots of theses for the ugh feels, mixed with excitement. 💙💙💙💙💙

I have images of what people on the forums might look like also. 😂😂😂

I forget to mention, the travelling kindness rock lady had a little person sitting beside her,painting mandala s just like you and the crew. I often look at the happy hands pics you posted here.

Hope today has good in it for you. 💜💜💜💜

@Former-Member I think it will be ok. But that doesn’t help your anxiety levels. Hopefully today will help with test. Thinking of you.💙💙💙💙

@CheerBear I looked up self identity = a perception or recognition of one’s characteristics as a particular individual, especially in relation to social context.

Self acceptance = is an individual s satisfaction or happiness with oneself, and is thought to be necessary for good mental health. Self acceptance involves self understanding , a realistic, albeit subjective, awareness of one’s strengths and weaknesses.

I think from my understanding of those two brief quotes, you are spot on in where your thinking is going. Seeing to others needs above your own is a tricky one for me, maybe you and lots of other people maybe. I’ve struggled with this one big time, as I’ve cared for others since the year dot. It’s ingrained, but does that necessary mean negative? Maybe there’s a balance that tips from one to the other, but can become lobsided. Just my thoughts.

Yea, a school plan. Things are coming to an end, or a beginning. 🤔🤔

Bro rang back this morning, he can go back to the pub on Friday , I think that s what he said. 10 customers at a time. He’s not sure how it will work, but it’s a start.

I’m also nearly finished my canvas and stone. Show and tell later???

Off to check if the second layer is dry. 😂😂

@CheerBear ... I really hope you have something to show off later too with your stone. Patience is not one of my virtues either, I have to say.

It must be such a relief to finally have a return to school date. And now you can plan around school, work, extended family, Mr Friend. Hmmmm ... sounding very packed, no matter which way you look at things. But I know you will manage ... you're pretty amazing, and clearly are able to schedule things well in order to get through all that you do. That said ... I am very relieved that today is including a bit of me time for you as well. 👍🌺

@Maggie .. brother returning to pub from Friday ... happy days for him. 😊 Relief for many I expect. No pubs or clubs opening here in NSW for at least another month I think ... likely not until July. I will be relieved when they do open. A small window of respite for me ... time alone. And Mr Sherry will be very happy of course.

Sherry 💕
