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

this one is called heart of chaos...

I think it is more like my mind....chaotic....

Re: Living with Ourselves

thanks @Adge

I enjoy posting images on this thread...

a bit like my finding an interesting surprise when I come back here...if that makes sense..

probably sounds a bit odd..

never mind growing up being told that I am different...difficult allows me to do the unusual...

one saving grace from it all.

I shall post something for today...

Re: Living with Ourselves

lovely @outlander

I looked back at the image I had posted earlier of two hot air balloons...an interesting contrast...

This is on my bucket list to do....

We often have them come over our town...

Re: Living with Ourselves

Hello @eudemonism

Thank you so much for caring and asking how I am even though I have not been around as much...

Tells me so much about how caring a soul you are...

I have not been feeling too well to be perfectly honest...

That period of time where everything seems to have accumulated and the sheer weight of it all is suddenly felt...

I have felt this coming for some time now ...hence my pulling back to this thread...

At the end of the day the threads keep on moving and the pressure to respond to people subsides slightly...

I do always think of you though and a couple of others...

Today I went on another carer outing and had a wonderful time...

Even though throughout my lunch I spoke to someone who is at the onset of dementia stage and recently lost her husband who was suffering from alzheimers disease...

I could sense that she was just longing to have a lengthy conversation....so I let her...she spoke about most of her life...her children...her husband and family...then his illness and passing...finally she told me that she too is moving soon at the request of her daughters...I know what that means...

When it was time to leave she thanked me for listening to her....says it all doesn't it...

I also enjoyed looking at all of the animals at the animal sanctuary...the lunch at the pub after was pretty rubbish but as I said company was good...

I am off on a boat trip on friday for the day with a hike as well I think...

I am worn out...back killing me...but am feeling liberated..

Having isolated so long ...having a social outing with people who have their own life issues is wonderfully judgement free..or at least it feels that way..

I know that you enjoyed your bbq the other day so much...

Life does have some wonderful moments ....

Sophia
