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

Hi @Sophia1 ive got quite a few pictures of animals. I have some other pictures of our local wildlife if you would like to see them?
We have lots of aninals here, not to long ago there were some wallabies nearby and scared the crap out of the horses as they went through the trees.

Oh how cute! I would love to see some baby alpacas!

Im okish just finishing up on tonights study and might do some crochetting for a while. We are having a storm here atm which makes me a little on edge so will use it as a distracrion.

Re: Living with Ourselves

hello @outlander

yes any animal pictures from real life fascinate me...

I found a couple of pictures of tortoises earlier today...

I will see if I can add them here...

good that you are still enjoying your studying...

I cannot focus on reading very much at all at the moment...which is sad...I have read so much over the years...

it will come back when the time is right...

I am muddling through probably like most of us on here...

I am very sensitive and on the alert at the moment also..

We have had a couple of storms since we moved here and they are so much louder...this house is a lot smaller and the ceilings are lower...

I seemed to be more affected than my cats would you believe...

Distracting yourself is a good plan..

I find them fascinating creatures..I believe that they are both from South Africa and can grow quite large

have to go and have some dinner...
