@Former-Member

I am relieved to hear that....

self care that we all remind others ....

respond to me on this thread please for now...

@Sophia1 Sorry about the short post yesterday, my brain froze, that means nothing more will happen for a while. Ended up being a migraine beginning.

I was thinking about your post regarding forgetting things...I know it feels scary when we go through different stages. We have both gone through moving, major. Also there might be another move ahead for me in 3mths and for you in 12, that has to be causing stress in deeper levels than we might be aware of. This was my third move in less than 3 yrs. I have been pumping adrenalin for over 2and a half months now, you might be longer. So many decisions to make, cancellations, connections, packing unpacking, the list goes on.

What I seem to be taking a long time to say is...it's ok to not be ok!!!!!! It will get better... for both of us. I know you have a loving husband, and possible many more loved ones, I have a social worker dropped from the heavens. Gosh I hope this sounds okish to you.

Heading for another coffee.💕🐾🐾💜

hello @Maggie

Your reply sounds absolutely wonderful..

Your writing style is similar to mine...

You also berate yourself for what you have written...I do this often to...

Yes anxiety is not a friend

I have discovered recently that it does lie under the surface...at times deeper as you mentioned...unknowingly...

this helps explain to me why it suddenly appears from nowhere...leaving me to think oh for goodness sake why am I feeling this way now!

So I internalise the feelings...blame myself yet again...the cycle continues..

reminding me that "it is ok to not be ok" is actually spot on with timing...thank you...

I shall practise reciting those words...

That would be much harder for you knowing that the time is 3 months away for next move...that takes it into the christmas break..

I have been thinking of this move as in transition...would that help you this time...?

making some friends along the way...

did you move far from where you lived before this last time?

Having your furbabies with you makes the move more bearable...

Our responses would be great on the self-compassion thread I suddenly thought..

I am up to copying and pasting over there...does not mean it will work though with my not techno skills though..

how about you shall we both try?

big gentle hug

Oh @Sophia1 thank you for your response. I always worry about posts... have I interpreted right, said it right, over reacted, just to name a few.

Will leave the copy paste to you. Lol. Gentle hug back to you.

Good morning all

update with settling into new temporary home

our unfriendly cat who hides in cupboards when a car pulls up in the driveway...I refer to her as Sassy on here...has taken over the spare bedroom with the almost ceiling high packed boxes...suitcases some filled...

she has found a couple of spots...one at the highest point of boxes on top of a suitcase...

husband and I have discussed this and decided that she is making sure that we don't start moving boxes and suitcases suggesting an imminent home move again...

she will probably just get comfortable when the time to move will come along...

she loves husband's smelly work shoes....rubs her head over them and lays on them...

do any of you have unusual pet stories to share?

Sophia

how did your furbabies take the move?

@Sophia1 I wrote this short song a few months ago. You might like it.

When I want to find a place of peace
Somewhere I can feel at ease
From the ground to the vastness of the sky's
Beauty fill my eyes
Creation I stand in awe
How could I ask for more
Carpets of colour
Beneath my feet
Generosity in extravagance
Gentle aromas fill the air
Nothing can compare
flowing melodies
None out of tune
Creation I stand in awe
How could I ask for more
When I want to find a place of peace
Somewhere I can feel at ease

that is simply beautiful and tender...

I could feel tingling as I read your words...

I would love to hear you sing your special song...not a reality I know...

nevertheless wanted to let you know that and also that you have touched my heart with such raw beauty..

lovely lady @Maggie

I am going to save them in a special place if that is ok...they will not have your name on them..

only for me to read....if that is ok with you...

xxso lovely to reconnect with you again xx
