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

Thanks @RiverSeal
My usual … walking, meditation, garden, music, cooking, curling up in foetal position and reaching out. Thanks for noticing.

Lovely to see your message @Shaz51
hhhhhmmmm! Love a good cuppa
hope the mister gets better
I had 4 visitors over for music making and lunch. They were beautiful and it was nourishing.
however I am struggling a lot with despair. Not able to completely hide it but feel held by our music and plans through to January next year.
my concentration wasn’t brilliant but good enough I guess.
walking with sisters really helps
