Living with Ourselves

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

Hi @Anastasia @Sophia1 @Appleblossom @HenryX

i hope you are all well this weekend.

i don't know a lot about dad to be quite honest, i know he was born in the ruins of germany after the second world war, im not sure if he lived in the east or west of germany i know he had a very hard life, he was in orphaniges and had a turbulant relationship with his dad and mother, all i know is he was kind and caring but firm with me, which is what i needed, i was a bit wild when i was younger.

lol yes families can be very difficult sometimes, i hope he comes for the BBQ, yes mum dad and i love antipasto we often have cheese and crackers.it is so so funny watching my dad eat hamburgers, he could never master them and he loved them so much, i remember every time he ordered one when we where out the middle always fell out, it was so so hard for mum and i not to laugh, he tried so hard but could not master some of australian customs. pies where another.

oh me and your husband would get on well, i like paving and handy man stuff to. the park across from you sounds so beautiful, maybe a walk afer the BBQ to settle our feast.

hugs my friend.

Jacques

Re: Living with Ourselves

my german father prob the same if i thought about it re burgers, which he prob ate 3 of in his life, all home made lol, but it would have been from fear of looking like a messy eater lol , thereby causing the 'problem'

When he first went back to Germany like age 60, his rels had a dig at at him for speaking 'german english' re word order in sentences guess well and accent ha ha He was quiet offended lol.

I can remember him around same era sitting at desk counting aloud in german lol @Jacques some things never change @Anastasia @Sophia1 @Adge

Sorry to hear that you are not feeling well @Jacques

It is so hard sometimes..

It the experience of changing your medication is more concerning than the side effects...I can understand you not wanting to change dosages or medications..

You are the one who knows best about how you feel..

I am struggling myself..

I have therapy and the hard work is in between the sessions..

At times it is unbearable and I use helplines..I try to get out into the garden which helps me tremendously..

I do not like the wind though..

Yesterday was windy and cold..

I had music on for most of the day and I love dancing...my cat watching....for a while then walking off laying somewhere with his back to me.. laugh..

Today the blech is back again..

Windy again..

So am going to lay down and read a book that I borrowed from the library...I am quite enjoying it..

What are you up to today..

Sophia 💛 big hug my friend
