Living with Ourselves

Living with Ourselves

hello @eudemonism @eth @outlander @Bunniekins @Mazarita @Silenus @NameUnknown @Grasshopper3 @patientpatient @soul @Former-Member @Determined @Shaz51 @Former-Member @Friendconnect @Teej @utopia @Queenie @Appleblossom @Zam @perseverer @Janna @Owlunar @Former-Member @Former-Member

First of all I wanted to let you know that I have conversed with all of you at some stage on both sides of the forum..

It was my intention to close two of my threads and change my name in the kindest way for all of you...

I commenced this process on the 12th March and today is the first day that I have access to actually post or respond to anyone....I was in the last couple of days able to register a new name and like some posts...

I am so sorry that my profile ended so abruptly that was definitely not my intention....

In fact if I had done it my way.. instead of thinking would be better to be guided through the process....I would have just written on one of my threads my reason for closing my account tagging you all in....then requested account to be closed and username put to bed so to speak

I have chosen to take this path in order to protect my family's sense of safety .. privacy...health..

Please let me reassure you that this has nothing to do with any members on here...

I have tagged each and everyone of you because you have given me support and invited me into a little of your worlds...priceless experiences...I have felt heard and valued on here....Thank you all so much..

Moving forward ...this is who I am now and hope to be able to converse on the forum living in the now not the past...therefore no mention of my previous username necessary...

If you do not know who I am...that is fine also...perhaps all of the above is not relevant for you..

take care

Re: I Re: Living with Ourselves

From what I have seen over many months following you from the background (not in a stalkish way lol) you certainly need and deserve a holiday @Adge - where would you go if you could?

Well, I've always wanted to see the Pyramids in Egypt @Zoe7

I'm a big fan of ancient history, Egyptian, Greek, & Roman.

I'm not going to have the money for any trip like that in the forseeable future.

Plus apparently it's not safe over there, & it's very hot.

So I'll settle for any picturesque place with forest & nice views...

You'll have to come to Tassie then @Adge The whole state is picturesque with forest and nice views

hello @Adge

I am pleased for you that your meeting with the lady went well...

talking about plants and bird life would have been relaxing for you...

Whether either of you decide to meet again will not change the fact that you made the effort and were rewarded with meeting someone new....

Hello @Zoe7

Great that you can do some gardening.,..

I have not been able to for months and will be some time yet..

I try not to look at what has died...overgrown...weeds ..

the garden beds are well spaced....back paddock is about 2 acres...the other 3 acres is where the house and gardens are....so having trees all around the borders and also separating the back paddock along with a gate...creates an illusion of large open garden when mowed...I don't feel so bad when I look at it that way...

We used to have a huge vegetable garden too...non existent now...still have some herbs around the place though...

Never mind...the day will come when I can get back into it again...

I got one load of washing done and then slow cooked morrocan lamb with vegetables and brown rice...

take care

hello @outlander

I hope that you are managing with having to shift your working times around...looking after family members too...

I do hope that you can plan a day in the near future where you tell your family that you have to have a day off....

get in your lovely automobile at dawn and drive where your heart takes you...

pack your camera....snap away at whatever you notice....

set up an album calling the day what you think best suits...

take care
