Night Shift

Here again, sorry for suddenly disappearing mid-conversation earlier. Partner came home and we have made up. Have postponed talking about the problem until there's been time to think about it in a clearer emotional state. Thanks everyone for being there while I was going through that spinout.

@Former-Member, I missed you going earlier because I dropped out of the conversation suddenly. There is no problem at all that you didn't respond to my post. I always just take it as natural that people come and go on the forum along with the demands and struggles of their days, just as I do. I hope you are okay. I am so sorry if I have been involved in triggering you. Namaste.

@Terry, I feel like we are just starting to get to know each other really. I hope we can keep doing that.

@Former-Member, I enjoyed the Topic Tuesday too. I hope you do find your way back to music at some future time. Good luck tomorrow!

@PeppiPatty I have to say I am not always the most compassionate person, though I appreciate your kind thoughts about me very much. So great to see your beach! Thanks for the poem idea, that's lovely, something for the future maybe. ox

@Mazarita

Thanks again to you, sweet Anne. That will be great when Arafmi starts up soon. I'm looking forward to seeing support worker tomorrow. We may go for a walk on the beach together. I hope so. Your picture hasn't come through yet but here's one in return for you and everyone who supported me in my distressed state tonight.

Check this out @Mazarita

My support workder is awesome. I was so upset at how awful my former high school 'friends,' were like

This is what friends are for Maritza. xx

Quick last fact: Getting older will make yourself happier

As a final point, it’s interesting to note that as we get older, particularly past middle age, we tend to grow happier naturally. There’s still some debate over why this happens, but scientists have got a few ideas:

Researchers, including the authors, have found that older people shown pictures of faces or situations tend to focus on and remember the happier ones more and the negative ones less.

Other studies have discovered that as people age, they seek out situations that will lift their moods — for instance, pruning social circles of friends or acquaintances who might bring them down. Still other work finds that older adults learn to let go of loss and disappointment over unachieved goals, and hew their goals toward greater wellbeing.
So if you thought being old would make you miserable, rest assured that it’s likely you’ll develop a more positive outlook than you probably have now.

Great that @LittleBuddha does these things for you. I like the text you posted too, @PeppiPatty. Makes me feel optimistic.

Thank you xx

It's from the internet, @PeppiPatty. I wish I had taken it!

Not great you are so tired at the moment. You are involved in a move though, probably related to that as well? What's going on with your sleep (only if you want to go into it)? Here's something funny for you: I'm still kind of jumpy from tonight's events and I just sent a glass of cordial flying all over my bags, yoga mat, physio roller, desk and floor! What a nice sticky mess I've created, lol.

Your story is epic, @PeppiPatty. You are an amazing woman. And you go around the forums bringing people together in different ways, always keeping what seems to be good humour and a special thought for whoever you meet here. I think you are entitled to rest if that's what you need. But I am also very proud of whenever you get out to the beach and your steps to working out with the vibration machine. And the art you have done, your writing and your craft. I hope you get some good sleep tonight and wake up with a surprising amount of energy tomorrow. Glad you can get some of your story out here.
