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

@outlander

do not worry about me...look out for yourself as you are so young

I know that you have ties ....

look out for you regardless..

yes you have been told this on so many occasions..

It is true...the years will pass and you will wonder where have they gone..

You are important too as well as caring...

do not look back and think what a waste of time where have all of those years gone.

thinking of you..

Re: Living with Ourselves

Aw @Sophia1 your so sweet but i cant turn my cares off. I want to care for you because you are my friend. I actually learn from you and some of the things you write.
Its just an off day, itll blow over in another day or so. Ill bury my head in my studies for a few hrs tomorrow and will probably come out a new outlander lol.
Oh theres a newer calf at a nearby property i seen today and it made me think of you. Ill try to get a picture of her/him and share it with you.
Hugs for you, hopefully you are peacefully sleeping now. Im heading to bed myself now.
Goodnight Sophia ❣💙💚💖💜💗💛❤

Re: Living with Ourselves

@Sophia1 pain is very debilitating and a big hindrance upon getting things done, you may have to slow things down for a day or two, take a step back from the mainstream stuff. Even ask gp or therapist about pain management strategies. Yeah i wish there was an answer for pain, but unfortunately there's not. Find your limits and boundaries, don't push past them. Still try to get as much out of each day as you can.

Re: Living with Ourselves

good morning @eudemonism@Owlunar@Exoplanet@outlander@Former-Member@Former-Member

@outlander thank you for letting me know that you continue to want to share and that I have helped you.

Lovely to read those words ...A baby calf...new life...lovely to see...yes I would love to see a photograph when you have the time though...

What are you studying? There are quite a few people on here doing courses at Tafe...I would like to take up a new interest once my body and mind are more aligned and at peace with one another..

All of you help me by letting me know that you are here on this thread with me....

@Owlunar

I do remember you writing about the plane emerging through the sunrise and it's symbolism for you...

yes travelling in a comfortable manner is a good idea when living with chronic pain...

@eudemonism

how are your teeth? I don't think that you should have them all removed either...just keep up the brushing and flossing...regular checkups...

lovely that you took Mister for a drive and sat overlooking the beach....do you find that grounding?

great that you visit the beach when living nearby...so many people live near beaches and never go...a shame..

such an important part of our nature...our world...

@Former-Member hope that your virus is just about gone and that you are feeling better...

@Exoplanet lightening and thunder when close can be very frightening for humans...even more so for animals with their heightened hearing...I imagine that you were relieved to get home...

In response to all of you....3 things that might make a green grocer surprised...I thought of taking in a cow...a sheep and a goat..

I will leave that with you all to ponder over..

Re: Living with Ourselves

@Sophia1 i think working on boats and with the water would be my chosen career if in ideal circumstances. Yea i find it very grounding...
Mister is keeping me on my toes with his traits as a working dog. He's just non stop. Go. Go. Go. Quite hard to handle and deal with really...
And my garden is growing. I quite often question the end results of what started

Re: Living with Ourselves

@eudemonism

working on boats would be wonderful...especially near the ocean....

you enjoy fishing too don't you....

I can just imagine Mister sitting up front of the boat .....

working dogs have lots of energy yes....perhaps look at his needs as helping yours...giving you a reason for getting out of the house is very good....avoiding isolating...

as for the garden ....everchanging is one of the magical things about gardens...you can add...detract...prune...shape...your own creativity with nature...
