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

@Oaktree

Thank you so very much for your constant including me in your posts, threads.

I think that I need to borrow you and bring you over to my world to help me set up my own organic vegetable raised gardens beds.

I need a push

I know that if you were here you would push me

I want for you the best in your world and respect that you have changed your name.

I did the very same years ago to respect the privacy of my loved one.,

Whatever your reason is I wholeheartedly respect.

Hello my dear friend @Sophia1 .. I have no time concepts, so for me it was yesterday. I pray you are well and subs is still sea worthy. I need to tell you, Its the book keepers surprise birthday bonfire

bash, and I'm more that a little 'shiny" on the moonshine. So, I'll get back to the guests, and

go searching the cobble street coffee shops for you tomorrow afternoon.

Welcome back to port old friend.. tonys..

Hi @Sophia1

It warms my heart to see you pop up again. I have missed your sensitive presence on the forums. You remind me to tread lightly around people. I don’t know what I don’t know. I wish you and I and @tonys could all garden together. There is no rush though. Spring won’t be here till September. Now that summer is over I have started planting again. Just planted my garlic out and I am busy chitting some potatoes. I really have missed you so much and I hope you will stick around for a little while so we can catch up.

Re: Living with Ourselves

hi @Sophia1 please don't apologies for speaking with me on whatever part of the forum i am on. and please don't feel bad for not being able to reach out when i was struggling, it is ok and i got the help i needed so it worked out in the end. i have found a good psychologist online and even though i have only had one session with her i think it will help slowly for me to be able to cope with what life i have left.

i do understand and know how difficult life can be and i hope you are finding the help you need to support yourself and your family while you get back on your feet.

please feel free to post to me any time on any forum, when i can i will respond.

hugs

jacques

Oh @Sophia1

@Thank you for your beautiful post. I really appreciate it. Your gentleness rather than formality shines thru.


I began this reply last night but was interrupted by my son. I was glad he did as he has been going through a lot, so any time he is keen to talk I want to be there for him.


I managed some sleep but I did dream about you and felt our connection about our boys with seriousness. In my dream I knew there was something to do… not to forget… silly how the mind works…

heartfelt greetings

Re: Living with Ourselves

Hey there @Sophia1 .. Sorry mate. Time shifted again and all the coffee shops were empty. Cobble stones all shiny and fresh after Autumn Showers, but not a face to be seen, to marvel at them.

Oh . . . wait .. a fleeting reflection in a shop front pane. Hurried click of heals on wet stone as

fine cut silk n braid evanesce yond the reach of my eye. Train jumpers on apposing tracks.

That we only glimpsed the fade of our faces, as our journey's wrest control from our grip, is not

what matters.

What matters is that, once upon a time we met and those memories are forever etched on our eyes...

Whatever worlds your travelling, Know that I'm always here and time does not fade friendship.

Hello Tonys
Thank you
Late for book keeper's surprise birthday.
Perhaps I can surprise her by sending her the warmest wishes now.
Love the cobble streets yes might catch a glimpse of me there but not in coffee shops.
Ambling along observing and thinking about history in past.
Appreciate your thoughts

Re: Living with Ourselves

Thank you for message.
Congratulations on Cert 1V in training and assessment. You will do well.
I did a Cert 1V in business management years ago after not being able to finish uni course due to work and boys commitments.
I have also studied some language at night school which I loved. Studying works well when the person has the passion and available time. Sounds as though that time for you is now. All the best. Be proud.
