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

@Sophia1

I'm very sad and upset to hear about these problems...

Apparently green tea is good for urinary tract problems. Plus the old aloe vera...

Re: Living with Ourselves

i very much do @Sophia1 i havent been taking photos or doing my artwork but i have been crocheting and quickly becoming addicted to it! im making a blanket, i brought a multicoloured yarn so not colour switches. havent learnt to do that yet but itll be like a rainbow colour.

Re: Living with Ourselves

A colourful blanket sounds wonderful @outlander

I was shown how to crochet once many moons ago...something else that I started and did not finish...

I have done some knitting in my time ...even though I do not know how to knit from a pattern...

I have quite a few knitted scarves....

Hello @Owlunar @outlander @Bunniekins @Adge @Shaz51@Former-Member @Exoplanet @eudemonism

along with any others who would like to join in....

The sun is out

I am sitting at the computer

Inside!

Why?

So instead of feeling how I am feeling which is pretty morose ...

I am sending you all a big wave...including you all in a group hug...

as I shut down this computer and get outside...

Then I will plan what I do next...

I am not going to the group meeting again today...partly due to such a long distance away..

also the negative person will very easily bring my mood down as much as I try to prevent that...

I also do not want to affect anyone else there...

Waving

sorry cannot get other emoticons...

Re: Living with Ourselves

Hello all

Thank you for the likes...

Much appreciated...they really do help...

@eudemonism

What will become of us?

a quirky question...

I love quirky...I can do quirky...

yes does make me smile as well as remind me that we all have choices ...

I have just been for a walk around the garden ....

apart from trying to avoid looking at all of the weeds and much needed pruning...I noticed some blossoms...new flowers...checked in on 3 remaining canaries whom I frightened when I took a photograph of them

I managed to get some more photographs of my next door neighbour...Mrs Moo...

I can't work out how to download them now ...I keep getting itune screen up...will have to check with husband who is good with this stuff...

off to make some lunch now...

sun is out

Re: Living with Ourselves

@Sophia1 Both your and @eudemonism posts have that quirky uniqueness that make me smile.

Thanks for being you.

I am a very average knitter, but have very positive memories of the knitting girls in one orphanage. Their camaraderie and helpfulness really made an impact on me. They were in early teens 12-15. I was 8. I was only there for 9 months but they always helped me learn the basics and helped with dropped stitches. It has been many random experiences like that with others that have helped counter my negative stuff ... the kindness of strangers.

Hope you have good day.
