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.

Oh no @PeppyPatti . I too had gallstone problems. Took 5 ER visits to diagnose the problem. No problems since mine was removed. Although did have the squirts for about 1 month until my body got used to not having a gallbladder.
I hope your recovery goes as smoothly as mine did.

I think that it will all settled down once i get my gall bladder out. So I think I'm waiting just 2 months till it gets out.
@Jacques has gall bladder stuff too.
@Glisten how is the legal reading going ?
Do you need any extra energy today ? I'm sending you as much as can. Stay gentle my friend.

I am doing better. I have been surfing big waves and getting through hurdles. Things are quieter now and I know who can be counted on as genuine friends (warts, strengths and all their gems and valuable sides).
It feels like it has been a year of sorting the wheat and the chaff.
Had a wonderful day last week, working with my son as roadie and pianist. Privileged to bear him and give witness to his quality. New connections unfolding for the new year.
Thanks for walking with me.

Thankyou for walking with us @Appleblossom . It sounds as though you're doing well and perhaps on the threshhold of even better times.
I walked a labyrinth the other day and thought to practice a metta meditation - something I learnt from you.
Take care.

Haven't been in a labyrinth for years @Dimity
It is great when we find people with whom to give and take.
Have a good evening...

Hello @Appleblossom . Thanks for the tag! I’m sorry you’ve been going through so much in your life - hopefully things improve for you in the future as you are such a kind and special person. You deserve great things in your life and I hope this happens to you very soon.
My life has been stressful thanks to a nightmare property manager and landlord (I’ve posted about this on another page) so I’ve been absent from the forums lately to deal with this. I’m just so glad I had my knitting to get me through it all!
Take care!
Judi9877☺️🌻

Glad you're feeling better, my sister @Appleblossom I can sense that you're in a good place and more growth. Calmer seas ahead for you, and special moments with your son. I am proud of you.
