Living with Ourselves

[Sophia1]

thank you @tonys for such warming responses.

I caught the shooting stars in the jam jars without breaking the glass.

It is a lovely feeling to think that someone is looking down on me offering me a safeguard.

Yes I do have much pain in my life and thank you for listening without judgement.

I do continue to work hard at the challenges.

I do now recognise that this can become exhausting and need time out as do not want to burn out and crash again.

Older son has reached crisis point for some weeks now and this has now been taken out of my hands.

He needs specialised care and I must step back and send him shooting stars in jam jars.

I do hope that this magical trip that you are going on brings you much joy and rewards you for being such a beautiful, unique human being.

sending you atmospheric dust to add glitter to your trip; your attire; your mind and mostly such a creative mind.

Hello @Dimity 

Was there something unacceptable or unsafe in my response to Shaz.

It was moderated.

Why does this keep on happy.

Am I considered unsafe?

@Appleblossom 

Sorry am not feeling the best.

Son and husband health on top of not knowing declining mum's all a bit much.

We also have a family close friend waiting for a transplant who has had leukemia and has cancer. Hoping cancer not going to spread before transplant organ arrives.

Just found out hospitalised with pneumonia.

when does it stop

glad that you found a new arty, dress up lady with whom you can relate

I have earthy tendencies as well as just my own unique ways

I have always dressed in my own style and still do.

I am not girly just me.

It is a good thing that you are feeling more comfortable within yourself to be you.

You have every right to be.

Best you have felt in a long time was lovely to read.

You deserve renewal and hope

Take care dear friend

love Sophia💜

Hi @Sophia1 

I supported/liked your post because I found your supportive nature in it beautiful. I'm so sorry if it felt alarming for you 💚

[Sophia1]

Oh thank you so much for responding @Former-Member 

I was so worried that I might have upset shaz and would never do that intentionally.

Not upset anyone.

Thank you for your kind words also.

I keep on being told I have to give myself some of what I give to others.

Programmed thinking keeps on putting up brick walls.

I feel that I will try and give myself some kindness today now. You have helped me refocus.

In a roundabout way I was meant to hear from you.

So that is a start isn't it.

Welcome if you are new.

What a fabulous refocus @Sophia1 and makes me really glad we had this interaction.

I have seen first hand today your deep capacity to provide such authentic support to others, I love to hear your intention to give yourself some of that kindness today. It's an excellent reminder for the lot of us I think!

I'm not so new, maybe been a bit too quiet, but I intend for that to change w these lovely encounters 😊

Go gently 💚

Dear @outlander 

Yes it has been quite some time between discussions, which is only testament to the many different challenges that we are both dealing with.

We both are struggling with physical and mental.

We both are carers although I am an unpaid carer.

I am so very sorry to read that your symptoms are still changing which must be so exhausting and understandably you are concerned.

You have achieved so much despite everything that life is throwing at you.

I agree from management roles that I had during my working career it can feel isolating especially if you do not have support from the higher echelon.

However, I always threw myself into team work and found that the staff performed better and enjoyed their days at work more.

It is a win situation for everyone.

This I do understand is nigh impossible though when the workforce that you are in is not recognising your hard efforts and supporting you.

Please do not allow yourself to go down the track of blaming yourself. (Says a person who is so extremely sensitive herself).

I helped my son through bullying and harassment issues and maintained throughout that he can walk back and then out when inappropriate with his head held high.

You hold your head up high with a smile of confidence knowing that you gave the best you could under those deplorable conditions.

You have further work experience; another achievement on your resumee.

Keep on believing in you even when you take time out to heal.

I know that you are like me and prefer to stay in your safe zone.

It makes it easier not trying to remember everyone. Not wanting to leave people out.

So be where you want to be and say hello whenever you want.

As is with you I will answer when I can.

love Sophia 💜

Hello @Sophia1 I think the moderator has answered your question.

It sounds as though you have a lot happening but you still find time to support other people which is lovely. 

I hope you can be kind to yourself and find some joy in the day. I'm just on my way home from a flower show... a bright spot in my day, week,  month.

[Sophia1]

Yes thank you for replying @Dimity 

I was extremely worried and have been reassured.

I am also so happy to have met @Former-Member 

Lovely that you had time out at a flower show.

I must get off of the computer now.

Stiff and far too much time on here.

Time to start cooking

Nice to see you

Take care

Sophia
