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

There is no issue at all @Sophia1 💖 I have been reading along for sometime but did not want to intrude so will continue to do that. More recently, seeing what you would be going through as a result of the interactions on this thread, I added my support - that will always be there but I will be in the background again 👍 I hope things get better for you and your family - much love to you all 💖

Re: Living with Ourselves

Thank you @Zoe7

A kind response..

Intuition was an incorrect choice of words last night....... more fear flight mode

on high alert still ....

I am learning that it is not a good idea for me to write to people at night..

You have explained again and I appreciate that Zoe..

Please stay and interract..when you feel that you want to..

My sensitivity is in overdrive.

I think that you will be a safe balance for Tonys as well.

Heavens forbid he must be over all of this....

I am meant to be supporting him..

What a mess I am making of it now..

As you are offering your support still....I would like to accept your caring offer..

I think that I do need some support here..

You have no idea how hard that is for me to say that...

I am honest though and I recognise that I am floundering ...

We have supported each other over the years and that will never be forgotten.,.

The "much love to all with a heart did it" xx

Sending you the same back xx

I cannot remember how to find the emoticons in my current frame of mind

@Emelia8

Your presence and kind response was most appreciated also..

I am mindful of your struggles and do not want to affect those further.

Lovely for you to join in when and if you feel you can..

Love to you also Emelia with everything that you are dealing with..

I will step away if needed.

Dear @Shaz51

Thank you also for reaching out to me.

You have more than enough to deal with and do not need to feel you are expected here.

Stay within your boundaries dear Shaz.

Love it that you love frogs also..

I bought a beautiful ceramic one for my mum years ago.

She loved them..

Big hugs back @Shaz51

Re: Living with Ourselves

@Shaz51 hello, yep , ive carried this tree frog a 100 mtrs away , made him/ her. a nice hollow log home, and guess what , It was back in the mail box the very next morning.

Determination..... I like that in a frog,... and a person.

I have seen the letters on the home page, that come in at night. People in real distress. Hoping for some one , any one. If you are a community guide , then i guess that is where the trench warfare demands greatest attention.

So , no need to explain your mobility around the forums, I would rather know that you are saving lives on the front, If a ... cease fire day occurs, and and you need a laugh , happy to share. Hope i didnt accidently send a kite to you, that you felt the need to write...

Dont think i did , But you have a wonderful day any way, and we will be grateful for frogs

and the efforts of all the community guides.....

Re: Living with Ourselves

hey there @Zoe7 So .... You are a teacher as well as a volunteer. !!

Out here in the sticks we call you ....... A bloody LEGEND mate...

Now I just sent a message to @Shaz51 hope you can see it. Any way I will just say it again,

In the small hours of the night If the mail box is empty , I have a look at the letters of despair that come in , hopping for some help, an ear, connection.

So I should say to all the C Gs that are giving parts of themselves to others, you only have so much to give. and there are plenty that need it , way, way more than me...

I'm just the guy who does a few farm or street life stories, black humour and the odd , take it or leave it,... poem.

Thankyou so much for the time you give, but please leave me till last. or you are sure you have time for a yarn...

I bet the kids love you, If I was in your class , id be in the front row with the biggest red shiny apple i could find... Take good good care of yourself Zoe.

Re: Living with Ourselves

@tonys I just adore my kids at school but last year was a special year ...most eclectic bunch of kids you could get but together they just worked ...and we had a lot of fun along the way. I have about a third of them back this year but I am going to miss the rest of them terribly. Funny you should say you would be in the front row ...we used to have a roster who could sit next to me and walk around with me on duty lol

...and as for leaving you to last ...no chance - love your style, love your letters, love your stories, love your humour ...so when I can I will drop by and say hi 😁 other times I will be in the background reading along 👍

Re: Living with Ourselves

hello there @Sophia1 Boy , not sure you meant to tag me with that post to Zoe...

Hope you are Ok... Maybe doing to much, If your boat gets any more than ten holes in it,

you run out of fingers. You need ,... and deserve a holiday from it all.

not sure i understand the correspondence tween you and Zoe , re me, Times like this I'm glad I'm not to bright........ But , a space ship landed in the back yard last night,...

I looked at It, . . . looked at my bottle, and sure enough , by morning, it was gone.

With the A2 thing I find Its best to not even try to understand things some times,....

You do sound like your just hanging on at times, but I wont even think of prying unless your rescue flare is fired in my direction..... Always in my thoughts... here all the time if you need an island.

A chook flew straight in one window and out the other with the rooster in hot pursuit. I new chooks could fly when inspired too, but this was something else... may be a sign..

Now if only i could figure out what made the big burnt circle on my back lawn......

Best thing about today is . . . . there's always tomorrow.... tonys moon base 1
