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

Re: Living with Ourselves

lovely thank you @Former-Member

Very pleased to hear that you friend is feeling much better today.

Yes we can relax, rest together...more chance of it happening when we listen to someone else laugh.

We both deserve a break..

Good afternoon/evening @Sophia1 @HenryX Only just relaxing now. Did a food shop, now I don't feel like cooking. Maybe later.
At least my friend seems alot better. It was a huge concern.

Some cute cat photos. Sometimes I feel like my clothes shrink in the wash. 😂

Hi @Sophia1

sorry i have no gotten back to you, just been tired and not able to concentrate, im so glad your son is enjoying time with computers and is rediscovering his love for bmx, yes, it would be fun to talk to him about it sometime, im so sorry to hear your son is struggling leaving the house too, i hope he can manage his garden one day, it is hard to have an organic garden, a lot of work to setup and keep an equalibrium with the pests and plants. but if he can manage it it is really rewarding.

hugs my dear friend, sorry i have not been up to writing, just a lot going on, struggling with sleep and concentration.

i am glad you got out for a bit this week.

Hello @Former-Member ,

Love the cat photos - so expressive. Hope that you are going ok.

I know the feeling of not wanting to do anything after being out - just feel like collapsing on the lounge and veging out.

Very pleased that your friend is recovering well. I imagine that it is so much relief to know that your efforts have had the desired effect.

With Best Wishes

@HenryX

Hi @Former-Member

I am so sorry that we missed you tagging a moderator here last night. I can see that what happened was very distressing for you and I want to check-in to see how you are doing today. I am sending you an email so please keep an eye out

Re: Living with Ourselves

Hello @Former-Member

I don't know what happened for you..

I think that many of us at some time have received an email from a moderator and felt confused and hurt.

At the time we are usually already upset and written word in this style of course comes on it's own.,

The words are not accompanied by tone of voice, a caring smile..a sign of compassion within the eyes...body language..

everything that we can notice and observe when talking face to face..

Please know this

You are still important and loved @Former-Member

I can read that another moderator has written to reassure you as well @Former-Member

You are experiencing so many emotions at the moment with loss of your pet..

Loss of a family member I think also..

Now caring for a close friend who means a lot to you who has just had surgery..

That is so much to deal with..

Be kind to yourself and your emotions..they are a part of you and you Mumi are a lovely person..

Supporting you

I am not always on line but please do not think that this means that I do not care.

I do care.

Thank you for the lovely flowers

Sophia 💜
