Re: Taking the plunge
@Maggie I am sending you so much love right now 😟 Here if you would like some quiet company but understand if space is what you need ♥️

Re: Taking the plunge
@CheerBear Would love some company, if you can put up with a bag of misery. 😔😔
A storm that has left no stone unturned, we forget the destruction sometimes, till it happens again.
Sending buckets of love your way, thoughts and mushy stuff. 🥰🥰

Re: Taking the plunge
I can definitely put up with a bag of misery 🖤 It's sounding pretty big and heavy right now.
I'm ears and eyes if you'd like to talk. I want to ask whether counsellor knows, and how you've been getting through it, and what triggered it, but quiet is very OK if you're not in a space to go there.
Thanks for the buckets. Shipping over a bucket load back @maggiw ♥️

Re: Taking the plunge
@CheerBear Yes, counsellor and I have been trying to find a path through, or anything that might resemble a path.
Its a few triggers, they have been triggering for a while now, but they went bang. Everything went in slow motion, and I couldn’t find me anywhere. It’s hard when you lose yourself, hard and tricky.

Re: Taking the plunge
😟 So hard @Maggie, when it's so big you lose your way and yourself. I don't have many words to say except that I'm here with and for you, no matter how stormy or how big the clean up is.
Have you been painting or foiling? I can imagine it's been hard to do much of anything like that at the moment?

Re: Taking the plunge
@CheerBear Thankyou. 💜💜💕💕
No creatively happening. When you need it the most.
How are you ? I really would like to know. You have had a weather storm, a bad one. Some are needing to boil water, I hope it’s not more pressure on you .

Re: Taking the plunge
I hear you there @Maggie, with no creativity happening when you need it. It's a tricky one - being stuck in a storm, knowing what could help weather the storm but being too stuck to go there 😟 That's happening here a bit too.
I'm OK enough thanks. It's not as intense as it was. It's kind of like feeling beaten and accepting that that's where I am maybe, rather than fighting for things to be different. My psych suggested I take the crew to stay with our people and has written a letter to help get us there. I'm really considering it. I have to get some things done, wait for other things to come, and stay well clear of the outside world for a while, and then we might pack up and go for a little bit. The walls are closing in here and that space and fresh air will help. Lots to organise and think about first.
I have to get in to the garden today and haven't done that for ages. I'm kind of looking forward to it as it's going to be a really nice day here.

Re: Taking the plunge
@CheerBear I think going to your people would help. At this point, every little bit helps I think.
I can hear how big the organising is, but there’s something about connection we need. Just being around caring others, brings a coping connection. Strange wording, but I think you will understand what I’m trying to say. It’s a bit like what counsellor is doing at the moment, just being present, no pressure, and her compassion just helps. I think it might be a similar feeling with your people, an unspoken, needing ( though that word sticks in my throat) , but we do ( need) each other. 😔😔😔
Garden today, with nice weather will hopefully help. Something about the outside world . I hope it helps. I know the warmer day will. Ihave been watching birds in my bird bath, amazing. I think we are heading for a nice day here too.

Re: Taking the plunge
I understand and completely agree @Maggie. Lockdown has shown us who and what really matters which is good. I'm dark and twisty at the world for serving another dish of that after my big bang has already done that, if that makes sense. There are a lot of similarities between now and then - we're away from people we love, we can't do what we need and when, feeling trapped and stuck. But there are big differences too. Getting away will be good. Thank you for listening and caring.
I was wondering whether you had nicer weather too. Spring is beautiful. The birds in the morning are an awesome sound. I think of you lots when I'm listening to them as the sun wakes up. Are your new plants holding up OK?
