Don’t give up

[Starrlight]

✨ It’s quite possible that things could turn out way better than you ever imagined ✨

[Kkimm]

I know you won't give up.I won't either. I am approaching the autumn of my life but I know it will bring more happiness and wonderful experiences.

Having been so ill with GAD which developed suddenly after life traumas I now know that every day now is such a wonderful blessing. If I had never been ill I would never have gained that understanding.

My thoughts and best wishes to all who suffer.

Know that it will come to an end and the light and beauty of life will shine for you again.

Thank you you are right I won’t. You and I love nature too much to give up we see too much beauty snd learn from it of the giving it has for us to give up.

[Kkimm in reply to Hidden]

Lovely. I keep wanting to ask you, do you like wild swimming?That is a real passion of mine, I swim in the sea and estuary in the south east of England where my main home is. I am in Wales at present and swim in mountain lakes and waterfalls here. Only swim from May to October however. Where abouts do you like and where do you swim?

Very best wishes.

I seen it on TV but there's no place here so I'm in doors there's a glass roof pool in our leisure centre and I go in the warm baby pool I call it if it's weekend as too many children go in the other pool then we have a park lake but not allowed only the dogs lol

There's Scarborough a train ride away with a nice Sandy beach for outdoor swimming and Hornsea.

This summer I enjoyed visiting lido ponty which has shut now for the winter.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Hi cat I don't swim.in the sea I'm not a strong swimmer, pixies asleep I'm off too now busy tomorror builders been again so I can finish my floor 🙄🤗

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

I had an early start this morning as I had an interview for 9am and I got asked if I was married which wasn't really on as that's personal and nothing to do with work!

I was happy though when they said I hadn't got the job as I don't think I would have enjoyed it there!

I enjoyed the weekend away though at the b and b and going out with my friends.

We won't be visiting premier inn places again due to their bad behaviour due to the pandemic!

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Yes they can be predudissed like if you have children or ties unless it was a man then he may have had bad intentions glad you had nice weekend

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

It's fine to ask if someone's married in a social situation but not at an interview though and it wasn't woman who had asked and I had asked was she married and said about Baby and how she is spoilt!

In itself asking if someone's married isn't rude what is it asking why or why not.

To those widowed or divorced or single that question could have been hurtful.

I can promise you that I will not give up, Starrlight. There is far too much that I want to do, yet. ❄️

There are places to see and people to meet, mountains to climb and oceans to swim in.

Moment by moment. 🦋

[fauxartist]

I keep hoping

[Starrlight in reply to fauxartist]

Yes God it can be so hard ... I am just shedding tears right now ... but we can always find hope if we look for it ... how are you?

[fauxartist in reply to Starrlight]

I'm fighting the good fight my dear friend, and thank you for asking. My health is a huge factor these days, and my mental health suffers from it...I am finding it hard to pick up a brush when I am not well. And painting is my soulfood...so... it's a bit of a struggle these days. But I just seem to have this little nudge in the back of my mind to keep trying. Yeah....some days I just want to go to sleep, it's exhausting fighting one thing after another, but.... I have my works in progress in front of me, and I know I will paint again.

[Starrlight in reply to fauxartist]

Good 😌 I’m glad. You deserve that special love for the brush and always knowing it’s there for you waiting... I gave up on it myself I don’t know what I have other than the love I have for my kids - I do like to write still and to find writings I like. What else taking pics of nature... I’m so sad I just don’t want to be anywhere right now. I have a dentist appointment soon maybe clean teeth will cheer me up

[Starrlight]

No prob ☀️ 🌚 ✨ how are you?

[XoxoFaith]

Beautiful picture thanks for sharing

[Starrlight in reply to XoxoFaith]

(((((((((Xoxo33))))))))) how are you?

[XoxoFaith in reply to Starrlight]

I guess Iam ok some days are better some days are worse still struggling every day with anxious thoughts feeling anxious and depressed it’s been 5 days I stopped my medication I took it for about 9 years but wasn’t really working anymore so I decided to stop it so that just makes me feel a little worse because Iam just thinking nothing is going to make me feel better I don’t know what to do nothing makes me feel better only my kids bring me some hope but everyday is a battle to make myself feel better

[Starrlight in reply to XoxoFaith]

I hear you. How old are your kids? I’m struggling and they are my angels 26, 14, and 9. Things will get better.

[XoxoFaith in reply to Starrlight]

Mine are 12,13,14

[Starrlight in reply to XoxoFaith]

So you know how fun they are! Don’t they just brighten us up!? They keep us young ...Yet at the same time we get so drained right!?

[Hidden]

[fauxartist]

I appreciate that LunaSkye...some days are better than others, and it's wonderful to dip back into the color yesterday, hope to get a bit more done today. I'm doing some Greek Icon reproductions for a friend and they are challenging but also a nice break from my abstract interests.

[XoxoFaith]

I didn’t stop it cold turkey I lowered my dose little by little and I can’t just call my doctor I go to a golden valley and I can never get help from a doctor they take for ever to help with something I hate it but I don’t have another option

[Starrlight in reply to XoxoFaith]
