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

Blank post yesterday as decided to delete my essay on my Christmas Day of little ho ho or joy

A day ending in great sadness and grief bucket spilling.

Not much sleep last night.

Had a cheerful good morning message and responded over there.

Copied response to here.

"Heat subsided and now a cool breeze here.

Little sleep last night has left me lethargic and without motivation.

Have to get ready for another extended family function.

This one will be better than Christmas Day.

I would prefer to be in my garden talking to my plants :face_with_rolling_eyes:

I am on a mission to notice something that makes me feel good rather than focus on everyone talking over each other and saying little as is usual scenarios at extended family gatherings.

Hope that something draws your attentions today

Sun is out that is a good start."

Off to get ready.

@Appleblossom

Good to see you.

Thank you for the hug

We went out to another Christmas family gathering today.
I drove my car as well to give it a good run and ground myself.
Drove through beautiful hills and countryside to get there.

Arrived at the sea close to where meant to be.

Sadly could not find street.

After a tour of the neighbourhood in my usual style of getting lost I reverted to phone and map. Husband and his son whose house I was looking for could not remember surrounding street names.

Needless to say I viewed the sea several times ( an unexpected delight) eventually arriving

It was actually a pleasant afternoon outside . Long drive home although drained provided further nurturing from nature.

one never knows what the day ahead holds.

Hope all still running smoothly in your world

Sophia sending big hug back.
