Living with Ourselves

hello @Maggie

I especially wanted to thank you for such a beautiful piece of writing that you shared.

Have not heard of the author so am about to research.

I found this along with other intriguing quotes:

“Society will always be too fragile to accept us for all that makes us beautiful.”

Also read reviews about "black butterfly".

Have you read the book Maggie?

Will look out for more quotes that you would like to share.

I love poetry and prose.

❤🧡💛💚💙💜❤

Looking it up @Sophia1 Black butterfly.

I love poetry and pose also. Especially the unique ones, heart stuff.💕💕

Hello @TAB

I hope that the phone interview panned out the way you wanted.

I think that I managed to confuse myself about the medical certificate debacle.

I read back over your words and now understand that the previous employer using the terminology "resigned" slotted you into a different box with the almighty Centrelink.

I do hope that gets sorted.

57 is not old at all to stop working...hard to do heavy physical work though especially when you have back issues.

perhaps start a thread asking for suggestions..

I am sure that there would be some great ideas presented to you.

take care cheshire cat 💚

I assumed that you had read the book

It is very deep so instantly appeals to me

@Maggie

he has a series of books..

I am going to see if I can borrow any from my local library.

I think the essence of the book will help me deal better with all of those in my life who have either terminal illnesses or uncertainties with their health.

Hello @eudemonism

I am wondering if you are putting in place some of those personal boundaries and taking time out from the forums.

If you are you obviously won't read this.

I am wanting to know that you are managing some of those issues of daily life that you have talked about lately.

Have you managed to take a walk along the beach at all.

Yesterday was so very hot here.

Today is very windy, cold and wild.

Will look out for your posts when you are ready to return.

Take care dear Eude

💛💚🧡

Hi @Sophia1 I accidentlly hung the call up trying to answer it, waited for a callback, didnt come, so went to app, they had instantaneously put me in system as having missed appointment, so I booked another one for monday.

Just felt ill. Oh well. its not end of world, I was chasing closure I think.

Then an agency rang and asked me about referees for a job .. Some have become a bit reluctant to answer the phone recently, one who was good was a bit rude when i tried to check, and my Golden one was busy with sick relative last time people were checking

Anyway havent heard back so hopefully that means they found someone.

Can resurrect a couple that picky hr people said oh they are all from the same company what a croc, plus mate has done it successfully in past dunno

Am feeling a lot better after a nap and thanks again for caring.

Oh no that is the pits ...that is the sort of thing that I thought only happens to me!

hanging up accidentally after waiting hours, perhaps longer for a specific call...then click....silence...

madly pushing all of the buttons just in case they are still there...has happened where they are a couple of times would you believe...

@TAB

referee stuff is a bit hit and miss isn't it...these people have a life and are not sitting waiting for phone calls because the prospective employer needs to speak to them..

although at the same time they have to be able to do a check somehow...

As for being from the same company ....well if that is where you have been doing most of your work...reality??

Good to hear that you are feeling better after a nap...

no need to thank me for caring as I am no different to yourself...

here for support at times and to give support..

I feel that I am doing my part in bringing about more improved, change re matters of the mind and how we who struggle are perceived and need to be respected the same as any other human being in this mad world..

Dear @Bunniekins

I am so very sorry that I forgot to respond to your heartfelt message yesterday..

I did forget ...distracted...then needed to start dinner...

I suddenly remembered this morning...your name came up in my mind and I felt dreadful..

So I have made time to log in and respond to you .....

You are very brave admitting that you are struggling...it is hard to say those words especially when bravely getting through..dealing with such painful issues...I think that I know what is causing you to struggle...

these predicaments are heart wrenching...even that expression does not come close to describing..

I am here for a little while longer if you are about and want to share whatever...I will be guided by you special greenpea..

yes some friendships on here are magical aren't they..

🧡💚💜

Eudemonism I do hope that you are finding time away from the forums a help..

Time to not need to think about others...

A time to put yourself first...

We all need to do that at different stages..

I am not tagging you as I do not want to invade your personal boundaries...

I do want to let you know that I care.

Thinking of you Eude

Sophia💜

Hello folks

Time for no words from me

Too much happening externally

Am unable to help people whom I love and this hurts ..piercing pain

Am still able to be there for others whom I love..

One does not cancel the other out..

So am just going to leave some quotes

Thinking of you all and sending you warmth for whatever you are dealing with.

This last quote is testament to how my mind is today neither up or down ..just sideways

💚
