Re: Am Not Coping

had a quick look @Former-Member - am going to leave it for a time when I need the distraction most - thankyou Smiley Happy

How are you doing today? You have had some really tough times lately - I have been reading - and definitely feeling for you - but haven't been able to respond. I do know you understand this. Heart

Re: Am Not Coping

Thanks @Zoe7, thanks for saying (thought you were angry with me), and I do understand, not the same, but to a degree at least. I'm so disfunctional I have put off buying birds and topcoat paint and stressed out at tge vet because I thought I had no money but just realised I have access to 250 all along, grr. Now I gotta motivate myself to actually shower and shop, but well, I just wanna stay in bed. Strange not having to watch doors and gates and where I put my feet re dog.- I'll get there. Had salmon on toast for brunch. Just watered garden and excited my gladioli bulbs are shooting up, yay. Op, plumber is here.

Hello @Faith-and-Hope Heart

I'm glad Mother Nature let you get in the coffee shop door and gave you a win for the day ๐Ÿ™‚

I'm sorry you feel so bad that you need to let it out through tears, but glad you got the chance.

You still have me in awe every time I read your posts, with everything going on in your life, you see a Silver lining taking shape Heart I hope it just keeps building until it turns into gold ๐Ÿ™‚

Re: Am Not Coping

I'm going well today, Thank-you @Faith-and-HopeHeart Your Mother must have been very special indeed, to have brought up such a wonderful Daughter like yourselfHeart

I took my dogs for a walk at a local auto-race track. I'd found it years ago, but back then it didn't have fences or buildings or anything much other than the dirt track. Now it has all of those things and the dirt of the track is so compacted it feels like cement! I did a little on-line snooping, and saw that it only has occasional Sunday races. Mine is a very small town, so that it has a track at all is quiet surprising! I must confess I'm pretty sure I broke the law, although there were no signs saying I couldn't enter, there were these lovely metal gates, held together but a rather thick chain, clasped by an extremely big padlock ๐Ÿ˜‰ Those sort of places confuse me, all the money and effort put into them . . . and there're hardly ever used? It seems such a waste to me. There are quiet a few places like that around my little town, for such a small area we have 3 or 4 parks, one of them is designed for excercises - I have never seen anyone there; the equipment is not designed for children and I think you'd have to be pretty fit before you put yourself through an excercise routine . . . right beside the highway, where everyone driving past could watch you! ๐Ÿ˜„ My puppies had a wonderful time at the track, and I couldn't ask for a clearer path to walk along; they found a little dam amoungst all the man-made stuff - brilliant find, I'll remember that when it gets hot ๐Ÿ™‚

Love to Faith and Hope Heart

 

Re: Am Not Coping

Thank you for your kind words @Former-Member ..... ๐Ÿ’•

Your race track escapades sound delightful ..... and yes ..... some time planning choices can absolutely leave you scratching your head .....

I have seen very public exercise equipment become a community gathering place overseas, where people who are obviously best friends are side by side on exercise bikes chatting away, and others are sitting and chatting while they wait their turn .... and people asking how equipment works and others explaining and demonstrating ..... but it's the sense of inherent community that makes it all so bubbly and not self-conscious ..... no sense of comparison or judgement.

In that case I think the Community came first, then the equipment ..... not the equipment and then expecting the community to flock to using it .... lol .....

Re: Am Not Coping

@Former-Member why would I be angry with you - I adore you Heart Don't stress about the drawers - they will get done when they get done (probably best to wait until the weather is a bit nicer anyway - so there is your silver lining for putting them off Smiley Happy)

@Former-Member I love seeing you pop in to visit us in TOR - brightens up the place just that little bit more when you are here Smiley Very Happy You could always use the excuse (if someone came and told you that you weren't allowed to be there) that one of your dogs accidently ran in there and you were just fetching them Smiley LOL

...and YES - we here know how very special our @Faith-and-Hope is - amazing, resilient, wise, compassionate and caring (I suspect she takes after her mother in every way too) Heart

 

Re: Am Not Coping

Wow .... that's a lot to live up to ..... lol ..... but y'now I sorta feel like I'm living amongst kindred spirits here ..... I have found amazing, resilient, wise, compassionate and caring everywhere I have gone on the forums ..... if I r Flextime a little of that, I am honoured.

๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’•
