Night Shift

@Snuchu...if I am allowed to write to you; why don't you give yourself a break. Your good. It's going to be okay. who wrote the benieficial comment.......

one hour at a time......

Oh, thanks.

I did the first one when my Dad was trying to take my oldest son away from me. My Dad was very ill from other things and anyway...it was a long time ago. My sons and get along well.....My oldest son needs someone to talk to him but ...

At that time.....My youngest son was very ill and thought he was going to pass away but he didnt. The tumour shrunk.

I was under huge stress ...I did some paintings...the boat is painted free form.

The poem says;

I look up,

There is a great space of white blue
The whole world opens up wide

I move my eyes down to the horizon
Ships swim in the water
Ripped Torn and Whethered

And Sunshine

Time is upon us
Night crosses the sky
You know the motion of the stars, the moon
My Beloved.

It's really hard to get through day by day...sounds wierd but if you remember.....how positively YOU have chnged. Like. Have you become more understanding to others?

thats what I thihk at least....

@PeppiPatty I love your art!!

@Former-Member, @PeppiPatty, hey.

The bath didn't really help, nor did Netflix, but I think I'm just gonna relax online and read some comics.

Thanks, PeppiPatty, exactly.. A hour at a time.

I'm sure you can do better @Shimmer.......

but thankyou...wow.........the art is very big .......

@Snuchu thats it friend. All this silly billy stuff.....you have to produce produce......let that go.....just have a no hour day or two....... Remember the most important person in your life is You. How You get support is what is important .......

@PeppiPatty, I agree... I'm just trying to cope right now, but I do feel bad that I keep using the substance. Thanks!

I think I'm gonna try to nap, good night guys.

Haha @PeppiPatty no I am not artistic, they far exceed my skill level!! @Former-Member and @Former-Member are in the office with me admiring your art too!

@Snuchu, it sounds like using the substance is a strategy you are using to cope right now, which you want to move away from. It's really encouraging that you are trying a range of other strategies too, like taking a bath, watching Netflix and reading comics - even if these aren't successful every time, it's great that they are sometimes helpful, and they are certainly steps in the right direction! Good luck with shifting this pattern, and be compassionate towards yourself along the way
