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: Living with Ourselves

how lovely image to see when stopping by here @Exoplanet thank you xx

hello all else who is passing by..

a weary..draining exercise as you well know...moving...

two cats are allowed outside with at least one of us on guard...they have access to a good size back garden...side lanes ..gated and rollerdoor carport...certainly enough room..

needless to say one of them decided to dig as though there was no tomorrow...

buried one of my seedlings !! cheek of it all!!

said Sassy (not her real name) has now taken herself to the top of huge storage boxes in 3rd bedroom...thinks that I can't see her..little does she know.

she often hides in cupboards ..behind curtains...

there is so much to do and I have no motivation...desire...or energy....so am going to sit outside and watch my plants grow...

sent husband off to luncheon with group of friends we normally see...

I have not one inkling of wishing to socialise at present..

I am actually feeling depressed and teary again...very tetchy...enough of that ...

how are you managing with your fencing now...major job next month?

is your little dog behaving behind the netting or looking to go astray as his confidence is building?

take care

thank you for listening

am aware of others who have demonstrated that they prefer to stay on certain threads...this I do understand as I have been doing this for a while myself...venturing out randomly...

I found a picture of this beautiful part of the world to share today...perhaps a place for mind travelling if the day becomings too challenging

Good morning Sophia, the photo looks lovely, I am an animal lover. I have adored animals of all kinds, all of my life, & always will, adore them. The animals in the photo look safe, & healthy, & content. The photo's/pictures, are what help me to feel good about living, & make my day a better experience.

Love & Hugs!

Bella xo 🙂

P.S

I hope you are having a good day, & recovering well. @>-->--->------------- a rose.
