Night Shift

@Mazarita Hoping the news is good from your partner's tests.

@eth, thanks for the hopefulness. The news is not the worst and not the best. He will require surgery. But, being the positive person he is, he's looking at it as good news compared to what he was fearing. There are still some aspects of it that will remain unknown until after he has the surgery itself, which may be some time away yet. Basically, things are okay for the time being.

@Silenus,

Every time you mention the butcher birds where you are, I am reminded of the butchies that used to visit at the Queenslander house we lived in some years ago. On one occasion, one of them flew down and sat on the table between us on the back porch and sat talking to us for about 10 minutes straight. We didn't say a word and just listened. What a beautiful communication that was, so melodically complex, I still remember it over a decade later. Although our conscious minds didn't understand, I feel the bird was telling us something we needed to hear in some deeper part of our minds. Perhaps just telling us to shut up and listen to real music, which we gratefully did.

The news, the news, it is okay. Yes, I am waiting on an appointment for some health issues too, which may or may not involve scary tests. Practising postponing the worries about both of us until later and staying focussed on the present, which is pretty darn good all things considered.

Thanks for your huggles, sending em back on over your way. 🙂

Thinking of you @Mazarita and sending you strength to maintain your 'postponing the worries' practice. Hoping the wait for each of you is not too long and that healing is swift.

Thinking of you too @Decadian since your sharing this morning.

I often wish I could come up with more words of support but the last few days I've had a bit of a fuzzy mind during the day (getting used to new med regime). Today I did a new mental health care plan and am now waiting to hear back from the same psychologist I was seeing up until 6 months ago. So hopefully I won't be pouring all my stuff out here as much. Sending gratitude and care to all those I have shared with the last few weeks and thanking you for trusting me too.

Strength to you @Angels333. Remember to breathe, long, slow and deep. Will be thinking of you and hoping it goes well for you.
