My special place

Yes @Snowie I know that if I am to keep on going I need to do things. It doesn’t always mean it happens or it turns out as I’d hoped but I feel I have to try.

So I just try to find things. I like my garden, and I could spend more time there, but for me that is a solitary pursuit so I look for other things with some connection.

I would do more things if I had someone to do things with though and I’m sure I’d enjoy it more.

Would you believe I had cookies and cream?? @Bow Anyway it was Yummo.

Kids did well last night.

I think it is really good @Till23 that you have an insight into what helps you. There are many out there that don't.

Do you have any friends close by that you can grab a coffee/tea with?

I moved to this town when I was older @Snowie so it’s been more difficult to make friends. Many people my age already have their friend group. I don’t have children, which is how many people meet other people (their kids friends parents etc). But I am slowly meeting people.

I try to have something outside the house to do with other people at least half the days of the week.

@Eve7 Cookies and cream seems a funny flavour for a donut 🤣

I’m glad to here the kids did well last night

It is hard to make those friendships when one's are already established @Till23

Hopefully with time you can meet some people that you can catch up with too.

Will say goodbye for now. Have to go pick up my son from work. Will talk again soon.

Hey @Snowie @Till23 @Eve7 @Bow @outlander ,

Hope you are all well. I know it's late, but I didn't want to hop off tonight without saying hello to you all.

My fav Krispy Kreme doughnut is the plain one. Microwave it for a few seconds and it's delish!

@Till23 , as for 'older' people being on the forums, like @Snowie mentioned, it's quite a mix. When a young young person comes on, you can almost tell straightaway. They post very differently.

I've worked on youth forums before and I really did not like it at all. I had no patience to deal with the 'issues' that arose. Which is strange because I love working with young people in real lifel.

On these forums, however, people have a wealth of experience to share which I always love reading about. I can relate to so much of what people share here. I'm not young young, but I'm not old either...

I had so much going through my head last night that I just had to stop and when I remembered the servo had Krispy Kreme’s I had to have one @tyme

I hope you have a restful night @tyme you have great supporting everyone and you seem to have a bit on yourself
