Moving forward

Moving forward

As Monday looms I have been trying to work out how to move forward. Today I started collecting things for my coping box (thanks @Crazy_Bug_Lady). I bought some of my fave chocolates to put in and have been gathering bits and pieces. Happy for any other suggestions as to what to put in. I think I may need one for the car too. I'm thinking I may copy some pieces of wisdom from this forum and print them up to add in.

I'm hoping that I get to write more on this thread than the struggle thread as time goes by. Please feel free to add how you are moving forward as well. 💜😊

Re: Moving forward

Its flowers are white with a hint of pink. I just stumbled across it, liked it and thought it a good idea. I bought a bigger bush with deep red roses too. Will put that in soon.

I have a rockery with shrubs and small trees instead of lawn. It let me have fun and play in the dirt and learn and experiment. I moved my other small apple tree last week and it seems to be surviving ...

I had done the mowing for 15 years and never regretted the decision to stop ... Yay.

Re: Moving forward

Sorry that happened @TABI hope it not trick you into thinking I was her.

My ex offered to plant passionfruit in our backyard, but it wasnt with love .. he was cynical & calculating. He probably projected it onto me and I was totally burnt out. I tried to give him affection, family, sex therapy, art therapy ... but it was what it was.

After I left my marriage I took lots of cuttings from the garden and grew them in pots in a little flat with a tiny concrete yard. Then I carted them all ... like a bloomin mug .. to my new place .. I left him and the girls in the family home but we eventually sold and both bought widdle houses. I never wanted a BV in the burbs anyway.

I planted the cuttings daisies, pelargoniums, & bulbs etc out in my garden but eventually split & divided them out into my court. Bought the apple trees years after I separated. One neighbour said I was mad as I planted the 2nd one on council property. The plants I put in around it had grown up and it wasnt thriving there anyway .. so put it on my land last week ... I was so over all the ... who owns what .. and who takes responsibility for what .. at the moment the Melb Water & the Council are each waiting for the other to do some work .. hmmm .. maybe I have to phone them again ..

It feels like S**t being betrayed when we care .. you seem to be able to be very positive though ..

Re: Moving forward

Oh, missed all that @TAB, did you have your crapola going again?, its easy to upset people here, no body language etc. Its wise to tread carefully, there's a lot of fragile people around.
