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

Hi @EternalFlower

Sorry for the late reply. I don’t know if I saw your message back when you sent it. My hubby is well now. He is retired and only a week away from being a senior so we will have a bunch of discounts to look forward to. I am hanging in there at Tafe but I am struggling to find motivation to continue.
How are you doing?

Re: Living with Ourselves

Oh thank you my lovely long term friends, @Oaktree @Shaz51 for navigating me back to here.

I see that I am now in the recovery club.

Yes working hard at doing that.

Still feels more like rehabilitation stage.

Life keeps on throwing up as I am sure most of us on the forums experience at some stages.

I just have not had a break and am drained.

Sadly I had an unpleasant reply to one of my posts that I wrote today.

That has left me feeling very unsafe on here again.

It just never seems to end.

I will not write on there again.

I will stay over here when I pop in.

My gardening is sparse now as I have not as much strength and spatial awareness affects my balance at times along with my grief.

So I have created smaller gardens on tables and even on my window sill in my kitchen.

You must have a whole farm and or organic nursery by now Oaktree.

Shaz I know that you had some beautiful flowers growing.

Appleblossom I know that you were enjoying community gardening a while ago.

Hope that your green fingers are still able to be put to work somehow, somewhere.

It is so rewarding isn't it.

@EternalFlower

Always lovely to hear from you also as with my other friends on here over the years.

I hope that you have found a more settled place to be in your life.

You so deserve to fine calm and peace in your life.

Well until we all meet again

Sophia

Take care

Must write to Jacques
