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.

Glad @Zoe7
I made group, needed rest in the afternoon, and then went to see some old friends perform. I may have made some new ones.
It was a lovely day.

@Appleblossom Really appreciate the Art works you put up, This one is so good. May be we all have a past of so much pain, trauma and sufferings. But we need to go forward always and get to where happiness, satisfaction and peace will be.Thanks for that. Take care.

@Meowmy Thanks @Meowmy
Visual arts played a role in my family culture and I was reconnecting with stuff on line. Then others on the forum were posting wonderful stuff and I found better sites etc etc ... In a funny kind of way I am sending pictures to myself to help lessen trauma.

Glad art helps to heal and sooth. Sometimes it says so much that words can’t express. Congratulations on your grandson. You are truly blessed.
