For a while I have tried to find a thread I had started when I joined the forum that could be a "home" thread for me.
Being busy about the forum has been a coping style, where I can acknowledge all my different life experiences that had been silenced. Possibly do some good and prevent things from getting worse. Like the little boy with the finger in the dyke.
Feeling fragile

Hello Dear friends Going back over the last 2 1/2 months it was lovely to receive your thoughts and well wishes. I appreciate all the pictures, and must have had the right instincts as the IT malfunctions has meant I have been getting more SUNLIGHT as I spent a lot more time outside ... walking, paving, and doing my guerilla and other gardens.
Eventually I will catch up with all the notifications in my absence. Still not 100 % in IT or all those other domains of health, but not doing too badly. Just a bit erratic about what works and does not work. My cup runneth over ... too full ... and too many bloomin' passwords. Will work at simplifying.
or some reason I could log on as Apple today. Google liked me too when it has been obstreperous for months. Crazy Computers!
Love and HUGS ALL. I hope you are all coping reasonably. Need to go to bed. Good Night.

Hi @Appleblossom Great to see you. I thought you had changed your name and am a bit confused about that - perhaps wrong. Anyway nice to hear from you and that it seems you are travelling better - more sunshine can be a good thing! @Mazarita has been popping in so I'm tagging her here in case you two want to reconnect.
Take care lovely

@eth For some reason I could not access forum under Apple profile, then one day I tried new profile with new e mail, but prefer to be under the old apple and somehow it works now, or maybe I found the right password. idk I am locked out of lots of other things old e mails and social media. I am over worrying about it. I just do what I can.
@Former-Member from the beginning you telling your grief story about your girl helped reducve my aloneness. I recieved a phone call this week as the fellow in Uganda with the orphanage had noticed I had dissappeared from facebook. SO his contact here who knew my phone checked up on me. It made me feel recognised and appreciated from a long way off. Only one other person who I had been in sproadic phone contact kept up with me thru my down period.

I had an hour paid work yesterday and have an hour tmrw and then checking out new choir, so things are getting gently busy. Not too much, but good satisfying work. Saw my wonderful Gp today. For the last few years my appointments have mainly been health services. Its good to have paths opening up.
Hugs and stay safe and kind.
