Good afternoon @eth and @Appleblossom @Adge @MDT @TAB @Snowie @Shaz51 @Blep @Bezak482 @Judi9877 @frog and others.
Feeling a little flat at the moment due to physical pain and good old fashioned loneliness.
I am ok with solitude but this dang virus is exacerbating the social isolation a little (I live in Victoria - please don't hold that against me 🥺).
Anyway...enough feeling sorry for myself. I am grateful today for a lot of things -
*my kid
*my cat
*a roof over my head
*my friends ( including you guys)
* my resilience and my vulnerability
what are you grateful for today? 😇

Hey @Former-Member I love your gratitude list. 'Resiliance and vulnerability' is a good reminder to me. To me that's living to the full.
The virus really adds layers of loneliness and grief to everyday struggles and I'm sorry to hear you are feeling lonely.
My gratefuls: a bit of sun, music, clean water, enough to eat.

Your gratefuls are simply beautiful and so important. I hope you get to experience them all today 🌞

Hey @Former-Member @frog what am I grateful for today? Getting new art materials and gifting myself the experiences I'm having doing the woman unleashed retreat. I'm just choosing a few of the 30odd presenters and enjoying doing their sessions in my own time.
And also my brother's comittment to getting me out and about, both with driving practice and going for good walks together. Feel lucky to have the support I have here. I know well what it's like to live in isolation with no supports at all.
Thanks for asking @Former-Member
