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

For me @tyme I would not describe it as on top more still what sort of a day is today going to be?

Much of the backlog before burnout is catching up with me. So try to keep pressure off of myself and spend as much time as I can in the garden.

I am not yet up to the market garden like @Oaktree

That is probably the case for many.

Having said that I need to log off and rest.

Thank you for the hello most welcomed

Re: Living with Ourselves

good to hear @TAB

Birds are beautiful to hear when out in the garden.

I think that you are going to love your garden very much. A new interest in life.

Re: Living with Ourselves

Ahhh . . there she is. My dear friend @Sophia1 . Nervous frailty, fussing about from room to room, tending to her charges, saucers of smiles, piping hot cups of kindness from the kettle of her heart.

But has she left crumbs of cake for her own souls sustenance. Wind through your hair, it feels so good when the park swings race through the air, but entropy is a wall that all swings succumb too.

You have a full pocket of bright new, shiny, kind energy coins.

Please Sophia. Spend them wisely. You are very dear to me mate. Please take care friend.

Re: Living with Ourselves

Thankyou so much @tyme . Its lovely to hear from you too and comforting to know your steady hand is on the tiller. The fog of sensory depravation yields to the sun, and sutures to the nurses tweezers.

All that needed now is another iced donut from the tea trolly and a snooze.

So . . I do hope that you are well and hope to share some banter when I'm fully back in the saddle.

Hello.

Yes my hand awaits your hand.

In the space of this forum we can join hands by our words.

Growing old is about gaining wisdom.

The world presents us with a new day, each day.

Grow as each day is dawned upon us.

Seek and you will find wisdom.

Kind Regards .
