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: I Re: Living with Ourselves

Thankyou so much for sharing the pics @Sophia1

I am fascinated with other countries and it gives me a little glimmer of light/excitement.

I would say that Finland Sweden Norway and perhaps Denmark are Scandinavian countries.

Norway is a beautiful country. Looks similar to New Zealand. Fjords etc. I have visited Stockholm as well. Amazing city. Was fascinated with the old part of Stockholm.

Finland is famous for their lakes and saunas.

I just arrived home from dropping daughter somewhere and did a big good shop. So now I need to rest, have a cuppa and a crumpet with honey.

I hope your day is going ok.

I am just learning to take photos and edit them to put on here. Normal photos are too large apparently and won’t load on here.

Just edited my message from last night. Bit too much info. (Privacy reasons)

@Former-Member

I sometimes go back and edit my messages...

some people have taken me the wrong way in the past so I went through a stage where I avoided threads...people....rewrote responses several times sometimes not even posting them...

now I am thinking that I need to trust my instinct as I know that I have a good heart...

privacy is a separate issue and I understand that...

will respond separately to your previous post about Scandinavian countries as I am very interested....

hello @Former-Member

These images are from the internet...

I have not been to Scandinavia....

only in my dreams...

I love mind travelling I call it...to places that are steeped in history...

I have a fascination with history...historic places....abbeys...cathedrals...churches...graveyards...castles...

canals...

I also have a relative in Denmark and another one in a country that I wont mention as could identify me...a bordering country..

It is on my bucket list to go to Europe...

I am glad that you are enjoying the pictures...

let me know if there are other places you would like to mind travel with me...

yes rest now ...I am going off the computer now too....

take care

Re: I Re: Living with Ourselves

Hi @Sophia1 It sounds like I share your anxiety re: tax returns & financial stuff.

It just got to hard, 2 years ago, after doing it myself for over 20 years - I needed help & support with it.

Yes, I'm still having reciprocal invites with my back neighbour, every 6 weeks or so (usually on a Sunday afternoon).

She invited me over impromptu last Sunday. She was distressed (overwhelmed) due to recent unpleasant family events. Unfortunately I came home feeling overwhelmed at her bad news (myself), although she doesn't know that...

My turn to invite her over, next time.

Yes, the song "Achy Breaky heart" comes to mind @Former-Member

By Billy Ray Cyrus, it goes: "Don't break my heart, my achy breaky heart"....

Feeling too sleepy. Already in bed @Sophia1

Euroupe sounds good to me.

Greece would be nice.

New Zealand. Can’t think, too tired.

Have you been to any other countries, if you can say?

I need to say night night now.

Sleep well. 💜😴

Night night @Adge 😴

Have you travelled? It’s not everyone’s “thing”.
