I think it was @frog  who mentioned routine... That would definitely help me to feel more in control - thanks, @frog !

 

Thank you also @Jupiter  for running this excellent and helpful session 🙂 along with @jem80  and @frog  👍

 

It's nice getting to know you all a bit more!

I guess along with the waves of devastation, there are waves of understanding and caring. I need to hold on to the fact that kindness will prevail. Something to never overlook.

 

Thankyou everyone.

Well I like to Live Dangerously (Re: Cat & Birds) @Jupiter Well, not really...

Learning to Be Spontaneous & Get Out of my Comfort Zone (more often) - is on the Priority To Do List....

"Kindness will prevail" that's a great one to hold on to as we all ride these waves together @Maggie  Heart

It has been really good to hear from everyone tonight. Something from the beginning that struck me was a number of people expressed gratitude @Jupiter @Shaz51 @NatureLover .. It’s a reminder that I’d like to make a habit of gratitude in spite of how fraught things are atm. Also, I did a meditation recently on ‘May you know that you are worthy of care’ and I got a strong sense of that coming through tonight in terms of both self care and care for others. @Shaz51 you are such a caring soul. Self care is always a struggle for me due to 40 years of neglecting myself but little by litte...
