Our Experience and Stories

Our Experience and Stories

Had a really down time today with things seeming to want to overwhelm my thoughts and feelings and it

is often hard to stay focussed and not let issues bug one too much. Aloneness can be hard to deal with but

I did go and visit a neighbour several places away for a friendly chat and this helped somewhat. M I is no

respecter of persons and it can be any person's lot in life. How we view things is important and being kind

to ourselves is a major imperiative as often we 'beat ourselves up' for feeling the way we do. Thank you

and this forum for being able to know we are not alone with these feelings and emotions. May tomorrow be

a better day for each one of us. Best wishes from Bimby2

IT IS IMPORTANT .. what you said there Bimby2. When we feel bad about what we feel, and think, it is important .. corny I know, but it is important to forgive ourselves.

To know that things change, our feelings change, and to remember that people care.

Re: Our Experience and Stories

It is important to do as you did, and I do, and that is,... to talk to a neighbour, a friend, a busker at the local supermarket. To notice the elderly lady trying to get down some stairs, and assist her. To see a person looking confused and ask if you can help.:)
