Walking on the road to recovery ........ 🤔

Walking on the road to recovery ........ 🤔

Hmmm. Where to start? I’m not sure starting with a metaphor that brings mixed emotions is perhaps the best way to title a new thread, but just now it feels apt.

@NikNik has put up her picture of recovery up in the past. At first I hated it because I wanted that nice straight linear line (expectations) ......the one where the magic wand comes included 😯😝

So now that I’m finally accepting the reality that the road to recovery doesn’t exist on google maps (and there isnt a magic wand), I'm left with having to make it up as I go along.........and if there was one there wouldn’t be a measurement of how long the road was 😏

Please feel free to join in and tell your stories too of the good, the bad and the ugly of recovery.

😊💜

Thinking of you @Teej so pleased to hear that puzzle pieces are still falling into place. Hi to @Former-Member @Bunniekins @Faith-and-Hope @CheerBear

Where has the last week gone? a little bit more of the weekend to enjoy some relaxing for me. I think I'll watch some tv once I know the washing is safe from showers!

Thank you for the beautiful bird @Faith-and-Hope, it really is a teej bird 😘

i hope the zucchini slice was appreciated @Former-Member, it was always a staple in my house, one of the few dishes all of them liked. I’m hoping you are going ok and not too exhausted from beginning of year madness, it’s so hard to believe Easter is around the corner.....I guess the good news is you get Easter not in holidays this year.

hi @Former-Member the strangest thing is time really is flying even though I’d been a miserable grump and pretty much in bed feeling useless for the past fortnight. I managed to get out of the house today and get to volunteering.

Hiya @Bunniekins, hoping your weekend has been ok and your balancing act with all you have on your plate is ok.

In news at 9:00 ok 2:13pm 😜 I’ve managed to get back on my antidepressant as there has been a glitch and I had 8 days without access to any. Im hoping to get back on track more this week. Last week was pretty horrendous. I discovered on the weekend that I do actually have a hobby and that perhaps it’s been quite a big part of me making it through. It’s gardening but more specifically my pots of herbs and flowers. If it hadn’t been for them I may not have seen outside my bedroom for a fortnight. I have lots more I wanted to write but am out of steam for now. I hope everyone is ok.

Re: Walking on the road to recovery ........ 🤔

Gardening is really awesome @Teej. All my stuff is now in containers, only edibles left as I had to leave so so much behind or give away when I moved last year. I have to have my pots of herby things though as I cook with them and would miss them dreadfully if I did not have them.

There's a gardening thread here too .... somewhere ... goes looking .... The-Community-Garden

you might find it interesting if you haven't already found it.

Very pleased to hear you're improving, all of that is such good news.

@Teej Darling Teej geting out that front door can be a killer I know the feeling. I love my pottering around my courtyard. I too have pots full of geraniums and mint. So happy that you were able to get out and enjoy the cooler weather in your yard. Love gp xxx

Quick check in with you all @Teej @Bunniekins @Faith-and-Hope @Former-Member @CheerBear

Hoping you all have some pleasant moments in your day. It's raining here so my plants are getting the chance to recover from the extremity of the past weeks of heat stress. Used my Bay tree leaves in a bolognese sauce last night. So glad there are plants that don't mind living in pots!
