YAY Beach walk @Former-Member
dear @Faith-and-Hope
over the years I have had so many personas .. Peaceful Warrior is one ..
spent 6 months on a dojo as a child
then as parent took son for a few years ..
I also love oxymorons .. probably fit some DSM criteria
one I love is a book title by American RC nuns called
"Fierce Tenderness"
@oceangirl glad there is a subte shift and you see possibilities for yourself.
What was wrong with D & M anyway.
Night @Former-Member thanks for being there for me.

Re: Sleeping too much
Yes @Former-Member, my inner child has many tears and of cause, being in that house probably woke her up a bit. Its me she doesn't want to be pushed down by anymore. But besides that, there's a quiet acceptance, a maturity in actually FACING the fullness of it all, with the sadness. The tears are without distress. Even the bible talks about sorrow that brings death and sorrow that brings healing. This is a healing as I let it take its course, I just don't have the energy to 'perform' or pretend with myself anymore. Yes, with them big time necessity, but on my own - getting real, finally lol.
We seem to be on similar journeys Bella, Ocean in this self awareness and love. Actually gives me a glimmer of hope for the year ahead, a chance of some kind of life that IS well worth the living. Thanks for connecting with me on this.

Re: Sleeping too much
Thanks @Faith-and-Hope, how's your day / night (weird). You seem to be further along the path of self awareness but if you wanna come in on our walking together this year 'true to self' plz join us, and anyone e else.
My morning has been up & down already with one thing i'm not sure how to handle.
- heavy, couldn't drag myself out of bed.
- weighed myself - lost 5kg yay!
- ate healthy salmon salad brunch
All on the improve 'till, oh no, remembered, too late I was down to work this morning, sh#t!!! not fair! Wanted to ring and apologise but how do i say 'oops, i forgot?' Now i'm down & teary again and i cant blame a single soul but myself. Give up?

Hi @Former-Member
Ring and apologise and tell them you weren't feeling well, and fell back asleep .... doesn't matter if it was "asleep with your eyes open" .... you couldn't get out of bed so it amounts to the same thing ....
Its a speed bump @Former-Member - nothing more - and we all have them ....
Suck it up and keep going .... offer to do something extra for them cos you're a bit embarrassed, and see what they say ...
❤️💕

Re: Sleeping too much
@Former-MemberIf it doesnt work out you can volunteer somewhere else.
The important thing is that you are thinking about getting into things.
When I have spent time in my head a lot, I forget things too. It takes time and attention to set up a new routine. I used to have all my teaching days on the fridge and the times in CBD marked in. Without some structure I can get a bit woolly ...
That is why habit and routine can be helpful. Now we are older we are lucky, (there are enough down sides to ageing) we only need to bother about those that really suit us. Volunteers are just volunteers, but organisations are all different. Hope she was ok about it.
Bummer I lazed in bed til 1. Just mooning about in my head
Yesterday I had rehearsal at StVs and then train to Armadale for singing audition, so it was a big day. I was out of the house from 9.30 til 6, picked up shopping on way home, then cooked. Son apologised for not telling me how much he liked dinner. It is good he is noticing that I do put the effort in.
Hey @Faith-and-Hope @Former-Member Kids are great for showing us the necessity of getting on with it and routines ..
What say you ladies .. should I whip myself for lie in .. or does it makes sense .. in the scheme of things ???
@TAB @oceangirl regardless, though we need to find some purpose, if its to pay the bills or make some other meaning ...
I know a girl whose bills are all paid .. but she struggles to find meaning .. I cant be down on her to be glad of what she has .. because she does appreciate it .. but still struggles for meaning in a crazy dog eat dog world ..
I love labs ... woof
Just dropped son off for first busking session of the year. Nice vibe in house and car.
