@Glisten I'm glad I made you smile 🤗.

My first time at life too. I know I won't regret my empathy and the love I had for my family when my time comes but as you said life throws whatever it feels like.

And my grandmother used to say for every moment of happiness there are 5 moments of tears in life.  A pessimistic way to look a life but it does feel that way.

Keep on keeping and one step at a time.

Night night...I was up working but now going to bed.

Rest well my friend 🧡

@Glisten 

Are you ready for another hot day tomorrow? You can come to my place to sit under the aircon if you like. I have solar panels now so I can just run it will nilly during sunlight hours. Anyway I hope you find a way to stay nice and cool!

@Healandlove I think your grandmother was a realist, not a pessimist 😆

I had a condition for 10 years and my health deteriorated over that time, until the specialist said we have to operate.

The surgery was problematic. There were some risks.

One of the risks was laryngeal fold paralysis. I attained left laryngeal fold paralysis as a result of the operation.

Months after I was feeling very sad for myself. Rightly so, it was exhausting.

I had no voice, couldn’t keep air in my lungs 🫁 didn’t have the ability to blow my nose, cough or laugh.

I thought, Why me? Then thought, Why NOT me?  I’m no different to anyone else.

@Glisten oh I'm sorry you had to go through that with your health.  Are you ok now? 

That would have been extremely hard!

Yes my grandma was a realistic. 

I try not to think about it when things are lovely and peaceful. 

But you are right. After my life changed in 2022 I would say the same thing. Why me? I'm a good person, I never hurt anyone.

And then through therapy I realised, things just happen and it's not a punishment.  It's just life.

And it can be exhausting but I think EMDR is working for me because I used to just want to live this world behind but now I think no! I need to live my life the best way I can and hopefully go when I am a really old lady with a smile on my face knowing I loved and cared and my soul is at peace 🥲
