Re: Taking the plunge

@CheerBear I have a tear in my eyes reading your post, understanding it all too well. The similarities in my own circumstances are exactly that. The same as the Big Bang. Remembering when everyone walked away. It’s scary, it’s heartbreaking. I haven’t noticed the differences yet. But they are there, I’m sure.

My new plants are showing signs of growth. We were looking at them just yesterday. They have a layer of sugar cane now, so protected from drought and other things.

No birds singing here yet. But I’m looking forward to the blackbirds. They always give a good start to the morning.

She was a good friend for 10 years. The first "girlfriend" I could relax enuff with to have a lot of laughter. We shared love of music singing and both taught piano, and could talk about things, though she was an older generation. Her daughter is also lovely.

Thinking of you as you grieve, @Appleblossom ...

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.

So sorry to hear, @Maggie 😞 I've been concerned about you. I hope a path through becomes clear very soon...sending you lots and lots of care and and gentle hugs...
