@Former-Member Your new flower pic is such a deep beautiful ... blue-purple ??
Welcome @kdoll Unfortunately I have felt agitated in my own skin for a great deal of my life ... but there were reasons .... It is tough and some meds help and some dont. Gardenias are beautiful too .. I had one that lasted about 6 years but one blistering summer and bugs finished it .. I guess there are different sizes and varieties ...
@Former-Member A lot of people are doing rethinks re the benefits of the digital revolution, and the truly best way to incorporate it for a good life. Go the random chats ... it is good also in that it teaches us that its not all about ... even stevens .. mutual admiration societies and tit-for-tat .. keeps things ... "organic" .
@Decadian I like your sense of adventure. Mine was been considerably limited by my neck, but am still an adventurer at heart .. I read a lot of boy books like Biggles growing up ... its a good way to break up the isolation.
Re my isolation ... it has been huge and for blocks of time of many years ... teaching at home was good in the last 15 years .. as I had people showing up at my door at regular times ... I did love my teaching and miss it a bit ...
I think I am going through another period of change ... readying my self internally for the empty nest.... slowly slowly.
