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

They are god pics @Sophia1 I am often soothed by travelling on the internet from the safety of my couch.

That black cat is a feisty one.

I hope you are doing alright within yourself.

You have been through so much with the operation and your son. I am not as good with feelings as you are and so often do not know what to say with the sensitive and fragile things in life.

Take Care @Sophia1

The world and the forum needs all the she-wisdom it can get.

Have you heard of the Sea of Faith Network. I wonder if you might like it.

regards Apple

Re: Living with Ourselves

Hello @Appleblossom

I sincerely appreciate your response....

I have been reading your comments tagging me and looking at them from different perspectives...

I have also been aware of my own current sensitivity and fragility....taking this into account...rather than assuming...

Your words in this response are very honest... a trait that I admire greatly in people...

you do not have to write like others....

writing as yourself ..as you have done here.. allows me to learn more about you....whilst respecting your space...

thank you

Re: Living with Ourselves

I was hoping you were not "done" with the forum, as the cat was with the tree.

Its often hard to know when to post or stay behind the scenes.

Hello @Former-Member

How lovely to hear from you....

That picture seems to represent different things to each of us which is interesting.....logical really...

Someone else thought that it meant I was leaving the forum....

You picked up on the Christmas focus of the picture..

For me it was the dry humour that I pick up from my cats....

I was browsing online and found this quaint tea room ...in London ...at a place called The Milestone Hotel ....some fascinating rooms in there..
