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

Thank you

I am not losing myself in it, but just a reality check.
Was at the zoo today and a mother told me a very sad story about her son. There were also beautiful innocent babies and toddlers, a wonderful rehearsal and rammy tortoises, saying its spring.

I am looking forward to Spring - longer days, flowers and trees in full bloom, the weather slowly warming up and hopefully a little more balance in my days with all that @Appleblossom
It must be lovely being at the zoo - having happy people around you and witnessing new life with the animals. Not somewhere you would expect to hear a sad story but so wonderful of you to listen and be there for that mother

The cheetah is solitary but likes the company of other herds in surrounding enclosures, so she is not just a predator.
The tortoises are rammy during spring; and huddle like American footballers.
Feeling very stretched and bruised by various waiting games.
I have been so patient, but am so very very tired.
Taken prn. I hope I dont get triggered at choir.
