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.

Yes @outlander
I had a lovely day. Felt I belonged in my choir. Chatted to a few people some old and some new.
My son came home with fish and chips to share.
Posting pic for me. I did not know there are a lot of different Australian orchids.

Have you seen the movie Adaptation, @Appleblossom? Such a beautiful film. After watching it, I'd love to see a ghost orchid in person.

Thank you for the beautiful pics @outlander
Hi @Ali11 Yes I saw it a while ago with my daughter.
Posting this wheel to remind me that emotions are not b&w or static. They are dynamic. The wheel was suggested as a way of looking at emotions, not meant to be definitive.

Thank you @Maggie She has a brave face. I love the transparent but lit up brolly ...
It feels like a big compliment.
How are you travelling today?

I'm glad you caught the compliment @Appleblossom. I'm slogging it out. It will pass. Thanks for asking. I hope today has some nice things in store for you. 💜
