Life challenges

@rav3n 

I've always loved fantasy books as well.  Going on a journey through a strange land with the characters and feeling like I was there with them was always so addictive for me.  I always knew I was enjoying a story if I caught myself forgetting I was reading a book and thinking I was there looking around with the sights decribed all around me.

@MJG017being in nature feels wonderful.

I've never felt like I belonged in this world even when I tried hard to fit in. That's why it's nice to feel that connection with people here.

I'm thankful to have you and everyone here to sit with and chat to you while I'm going through this.

@Hopeandlove , Have you used chatgpt before? I'm trying to create your picture for you. The picture you shared about being in the rainforest.

We are so glad to be here with you.

[Hopeandlove]

@tyme no I haven't heard of it. I like that idea 💙.

I'm thankful to be here with you

@Hopeandlove I am glad you are imagining my surroundings. I hoped to describe it to you so you could have some pleasant nature visualisations.

Unfortunately it’s often cold in hospitals, keep asking for those warmed blankets so you can feel cozy and warm. 

@Former-Member and @Hopeandlove I am so lucky to have this beautiful environment. Both of my dogs loved it too. I have to be careful with the possum as she often rests on top of the roller door! When I first got here it was a ringtail and her baby. After a few years a brush tail moved in.  Maybe you’ll have to borrow Wind in the Willows from the library @Former-Member. 

@MJG017 I also love looking at the stars I think it gives me a bit of perspective and that maybe my problems aren’t as big as they sometimes seem.

@rav3n we we’re discussing our love of nature earlier, I love the sound of waves.

@Hopeandlove I hope you can transfer some of our descriptions to around your bed, so you can be comforted by nature.

When I used to stare at the plain ceiling every day for 8 weeks of radiotherapy I thought about having some scenes to look at. So when I finished radiotherapy I bought some for the department, one of them was of waves, so the other patients could hopefully have some nature to comfort them

That's totally okay that you don't want to start a new thread @Hopeandlove 

We can celebrate here 🙂

Here is your scene based on your words:

@Hopeandlove 

No one should ever have to go through this alone.  So I'm sure we all feel the same in that we're more than happy to sit here with you and do what we can to make you feel less alone.  It's the very least you deserve.

@MJG017 @Hopeandlove love getting lost in a book! i've stopped reading books in public though... one time i was reading on the train and caught myself making too many facial expressions which apparently embarrassed my sister 😆 it's hard to read a good book with a straight face!

[tyme]

@Hopeandlove , this is YOUR space. How would you like us to celebrate your life with you?

[Former-Member]

Hi @tyme 

That image is so peaceful.  I hope @Hopeandlove that it brings you peace.

Snuggles 🥰
