@Faith-and-Hope I SUPER love that picture that you posted last night.

Good night Forum Land. Look at me, I don't need to ask the moderator to check in, because the ocean is so super calm and I feel snuggly and safe inside my shell. The whole world feels different for having found therapist-take-twelve. I feel calmer and safer than I have since the final showdown with Fred two years ago. For the first time in two years, I genuinely feel hopeful that I can find my way out of my muddle. I am super looking forward to my first session with therapist-take-twelve on Tuesday. I hope she doesn't get squished by a bus or something before then. Knowing the way things tend to go in my life, that seems like a distinct possibility!

Soooo pleased for you @Phoenix_Rising .....

Hey @Former-Member, I have a feeling you aren't usually around on Fridays but I figure you will read this some time. We currently have gale-force winds here in Sydney and all I can think about is that it is probably because the moon has been wearing underpants. I just wanted to tell you that. Yep, you've definitely made me more nuts than I already was!

The wind really is super strong around here. I hope I don't fly away...

@Phoenix_Rising - I just wanted to check-in and let you know that The Little Mermaid is watching over the ocean tonight for the Little Turtle. Hoping the sun shines brightly for you tomorrow! 

[Phoenix_Rising]

Awwwww you beat me here @Former-Member. I feel all warm and fuzzy.

I'm super glad you are here and that you are a mermaid. I have big missing CherryBomb feelings. I super super super miss her tonight. The chocolate fountain reminded me of her because when she was here she jumped into the fountain and drank it all. I superly duperly miss her right now.

Ok, well I will snuggle in my shell and feel the snuggly safe feeling of knowing that you are watching over the ocean. Good night @Former-Member.

Good morning @Phoenix_Rising 🙂

I had a 'moment' when I was lying in bed this morning before I woke up. I was imagining myself as cheerbear, lying on a unicorn floatie thingy, with sunglasses on, floating around on a very still and calm ocean, enjoying the sun.

I hope that's what your ocean looks like this weekend. I'm so happy for you that things have seemed to calm, and that you have something on the near horizon that sounds really promising.

Hope your Sunday is good for you 🙂

Hi @Phoenix_Rising

I do read your story and see your life as an act of bravery - mine too actually

The only place I feel comfortable telling my story now is Life Line and that has worn thin through time - the story I mean - not Life Line - I have reached a stage when I am tired of it - and chosen never to write my son's story as I promised him I would - it has become very private over time and so has a lot of mine - I no longer want to repeat it -

Maybe just going from day to day is an act of bravery - actually as I was typing this I thought yes - for some people living from one hour to the next is incredibly courageous - I admire people with that kind of courage - for your kind of courage

So I really like the ocean - even Port Phillip Bay - soon I will see Sydney Harbour again after such a long time - I love the way it changes - I enjoy watching storms - I don't think I will be inclined to take the Whale Watching Tour though - if there is any choppy looking sea about

But thinking about this I think it is courageous to live your life on the ocean - or to think of it as an ocean

So was it a Freudian slip when I looked for my own little turtle and found a tortoise? Maybe in spite of my love of the ocean I only want to watch it from the land.

Yes - I do see you as courageous

Dec - and the little tortoise

Goodmorning @Phoenix_Rising

That was the best thing to read first thing on my Monday morning, I am imagining you flying over the harbour yelling politely at the moon to "please remove it's underwear" !

But yes I believe that happened over the weekend, not sure why the underwear made such an impact they must have been really tight and restrictive ones?! The wind has calmed down here now, is it calm there today?

Hi @Former-Member

I really have to laugh about the moon and it's underwear - actually - seeing as it's the dark of the moon right now no one could see

So - I am hoping Syndey Harbour is quiet and peaceful and that taking the ferry will not be an over-exciting experience

Hi @Phoenix_Rising

I wish you the best today and hope your ocean is calm so you can get on with your life a bit - taking the therapy quietly - sometimes I think you might know a bit more than your therapist. This could be true of a lot of things and about our story - we know more about our story than anyone else

I hope you have at least a peaceful day

Dec
