Re: Morning has broken
Spent this morning out with D @Eve7
Now just back at home having a cuppa.
Anything else planned for the day or just 'you' time?

Re: Morning has broken
About to make my bed and go for a walk @Snowie . Trying to do things in 30 minute blocks.
A friend wants to meet for lunch tomorrow but I’m not up to it. Why do people think I want to eat???

Re: Morning has broken
Hmm, while I can't answer your question for why do people think you want to eat (while I am also presuming maybe it's rhetorical..) - I am wondering if you want to spend some time with this friend in the first place? If so - would a suggestion of grabbing a coffee and having a walk in the park be a better idea for a meet up? (You don't need to grab a beverage of any kind either!)
I actually much prefer walks when I meet up with friends, especially if it's 1on1. Allows me to keep moving and not have to focus so hard on maintaining eye contact, or my tone or how my face looks, and can just talk as I need to and find I am better at being able to support them too as I regulate myself through the movement...
Just an idea! 🙂

Re: Morning has broken
That’s a good idea thanks @PizzaMondo I’ll suggest that.
Hey @Bow , there’s a Lego display on at Questacon if you’re interested. A friend sent me a stack of photos. Looks incredible.

Re: Morning has broken
Hi @Eve7
I like @PizzaMondo suggestion. Just catching up for a cuppa and a walk might be better.
That way you might not have to talk as much.
Thirty minute blocks is a good idea. Just concentrating on one thing at a time.

Re: Morning has broken
I'm not surprised you don't want to eat @Eve7 . Surely your friend will understand that you're grieving?
30 minute blocks sounds good but hard.
I really feel for you 😭💛

Re: Morning has broken
Hi @Snowie , we met for morning tea and I’ve only just arrived home. She also lost a son a few years ago but we managed to talk about other things we have in common like our sore knees.
How is your day going?
Thanks for the message @NatureLover the morning went well and we just talked about normal things like our knees and hips.
