Good Morning!

Will look at that show on Archibalds ... thanks @Historylover

That's what I thought you meant @Appleblossom - just making sure.  I love it too.  I came across a fabulous group on youtube some years ago - playing in a tavern-like setting.  They were incredible.  Must see if I can find them again.

@Historylover 

This is a place where hope lives.  It's not about who is right or wrong, ego's or personalities, it's simply about caring for a fellow human and reaching out when they need it. 

I am so glad to hear from you, I noticed you had gone offline and your presence is larger than life when it is around.. It's great to read that you have found some joy this afternoon.  

For me, I spent some time with my brothers in the previous weeks, to help them find some happiness and joy in what they have. Suffice to say, when I visited my family, I was unprepared for the suffering I encountered due to the prioritisation of possessions over happiness.

I love the movie fight club and the saying "the things you own end up owning you" and that has stuck with me for a long time. 

I feel grateful for the fact we have sold everything, have no debt and an opportunity to start again financially without the need to work to pay debts hanging over our heads. It does bring me anxiety though we are now nomadic in nature and having no fixed address is not a way I ever planned to live my life.  But that's the fun thing about life, it does not care for our plans, It does its own thing.

So nice to hear from you @AussieRecharger.  I hope you are well.

Well, dropping in this afternoon has turned into a marathon of replying to kindness sent from our fellow forumites.  It really has lifted my spirits.  We can always find understanding and genuine concern here.  Sometimes being needed by others takes our minds off our own problems.

As for families - they can be such a battlefield of conflicting personalities and ideas.  I don't know how to change that.  Wish I did.  Life would be so much better if we all dealt with problems in the real world as we do here.  And listened to each other, and really communicated - and just gave a damn about each other.

11.40 p.m. and I have to turn in for the night. Good night, @AussieRecharger.  Tomorrow is another day.  Thank you for your well wishes.

Good wonderful morning @greenpea @Ant7 @Historylover @AussieRecharger @Appleblossom @MDT @TAB @frog @Shaz51 @bipolarbunny @Adge @Clawde @Meowmy @outlander @Schitzo @Former-Member @BlueBay @Sans911 @HenryX @NatureLover @BPDSurvivor @Anastasia and all forumites here. Have a wonderful day!

Thinking of all forumites still in lockdown in NSW. You can get through this! I believe in you! I know it's hard but you are tough and strong. Keep on thinking of better things to come. Take the time to take care of yourself by doing little things to make you happy😊. 

I'm sorry that I've been absent for a few days. Things have been tough on many fronts, including mentally, and I needed time out. I'm back now and hoping things will improve for me.

Take care and stay safe!

@greenpea oh wow! I didn't know about this rare blue lobster genetic mutation. Glad he didn't end up in the pot 👍 Learn something every day. Make a good children's book 📝

@Judi9877  Sorry you're doing it tough but glad you're back, you're so good at this here. I feel for everyone in Sydney too. Almost all my relatives are there. My cousin (widow) says she's "sick of her own company" so I'm ringing her more often. 

Hi there @TAB  @Historylover   @Ant7  @Emelia8  @Adge  and  @EVERYONE💕 Have a good day❣️
