Remember the little bed you showed me that I bought? Gray one with a pillow? He totally loves it

I do remember. I hoped he would like it. I believe he does love you. He knows he is safe and loved.

You were right. He does love it. He snuggles in and falls to sleep.

Thank you. I'm going to be the best 🦔 mother there is :)

I know you are Dolphin. You have a lot of love to give, and a sweet baby now to share it with. Sleep well baby.

HU notifies me I have responses, then leaves me stalled at the top of the post. It's been going on for weeks. Really frustrating. Is it just me?

Dolphin14 in reply to Nothing_but_books

I'm having a problem with getting alerts. Not sure why some of us have issues and others don't. I agree it's all very frustrating

I'm getting them okay, just can't find them.

in reply to Dolphin14

How gorgeous Dolphin! Did you say he had grown? Still looks tiny to me! He has certainly landed on his paws?..claws?..by your being his mum.

He is growing and doing a bit more than he was. Today I caught him trying to climb out of his foot soak tub. So I have to keep an eye on him now.

Thank you, I think I'm going to rock this hedgehog mother thing :)

Nature has given me alot of comfort today. The deer that was in the yard this morning and the nice steady rain makes a calming sound. I'm also grateful I was able to accomplish a few things this morning. Now I can relax in my cozy new leggings and sweatshirt. There's nothing better than a new outfit to lounge in.

Thanks. They're a little wild. A combination of tye dye and camouflage but they are soft and warm. Perfect for a rainy day.

Wild can be good. They do look so soft! It’s a rainy day here too.

Curl up and stay warm. I just grabbed my weighted blanket.

My feet are soooo cold. I haven’t wanted to go get socks on…lol…

Starrlight in reply to Mrspjsmom

I’m too anxious to curl up. I feel like I can’t stop doing things. Ugh

Mrspjsmom profile image
Mrspjsmom in reply to Starrlight

Try making an "I DID" list for the day. It will keep you busy and change your mindset from what you have to do to how much you've done today. And put some socks on! 😊

Good idea! Haha I don’t like the feeling of socks on ha!

Grateful for nothing or everything, but I am especially glad for being married also because maybe I did that after 30 when I become more wise but also little bit more wealthy by age maybe, but that is not that importabt. If you find the right person in this world, maybe it is not the solution for all your problems, but still it has to be done and when you come to that point, you usually do not are grateful about other things, such as diploma, driver licenses and so on - the biggest life in my life is the biggest for me which I am very very grateful about-it gave my life more importance, meaning and I realize that I felt lucky for real since that:)

Good morning Starrlight ,

I took the afternoon for me and only me yesterday. Went to the shipyard where they've ended the repairs on my small boat, then went to the harbor to schedule the return and discuss this and that with the owners.

On the way back, stopped at the farmer market to get some vegetables.

This was a pretty selfish afternoon, but I enjoyed this "for me only" moment of time !

Stay Safe

You are inspiring me to hopefully take time out for me. I’m super stressed.

Hi Starrlight

It is nothing but easy, and I am far from succeeding (successing ??) each day.

For example today's been a touch day, but I was quite happy having a discussion with my mum around a cup of coffee about dad and keep remembering good moments we spent together.

Try to aim to be happy at least once a day, whether because the sun raise is beautiful, you enjoy a bird whistle or just someone smiling at you on the street.

The most complicated, I think, is to accept how positive this all is. Mostly when, like us all, you feel depressed and anxious.

Much positiveness from France

Starrlight in reply to OtOFrance

Thanks I am reminded that things are better than they seem a lot of the time… I’m really struggling to feel free and ok, but it’s also ok to not be ok.

I am aiming to be happy right now. Thank you.

Good morning Starrlight

This morning, weather permitting, we will go with my mum and mu wife at a small market, in Dinan, not far from here (such market, I think, are typically a french thing ... Lol).

Then mum wants to go to a small cafeteria for lunch and needs to buy some "souvenirs de Bretagne" for friends of her.

Most say this is a pretty boring schedule, nothing "fun" nor "different". And it Is the case, no 4-stars Michelin restaurant, no French cuisine, just the three of us, mum being less sad, my wife being outdoor and me pushing her chair.

This is is, and I want it to be enough just to make me say, tonight, that I enjoyed the day.

What about you, what are today plans ?

Keep happening coming !

Hello AnxiousSilver ,

I think this is the secret of this space, whether we are laboratory rats or not, at last we meet, we talk and we share.

Isn't it what makes humankind different to mice and cats ?

Glad to meet you btw !

Father, Son and Holy Spirit to be sure. No Them, no me or anything else.

But this is an important topic. Joy and healing or at least coping reasonably well are impossible without gratitude.

Starrlight profile image
Starrlight in reply to Zhangliqun

So much is happening, things are going wrong but as is life right? Trying to trust in God to help. At least it could be worse.

Zhangliqun profile image
Zhangliqun in reply to Starrlight

Are yoy asking, is life right? What do you mean?

Starrlight profile image
Starrlight in reply to Zhangliqun

Oh sorry what I mean is things will go wrong just like things will go right. It just seems one thing after another is happening to stress me out. Praying for help.

I'm grateful for my internet connection that lets me be here.

I've never seen a fox except in pictures. The picture is so peaceful.

Starrlight in reply to Nothing_but_books

A great thing to be grateful for. I am grateful you are here and me too. I’m glad the picture appears peaceful. 🙂

Nothing_but_books in reply to Starrlight

I'm sorry I didn't see your "scared" earlier, I just got home. I hear you; I'm so sorry you're hurt. We can talk more if you like. I'll check from time to time to see.

Your mind and body may be scared still, but we've learned fighting it doesn't help. Find the things that comfort you and wait. Coco. Foxes. The kiddos. All you're learning to comfort yourself. The wind and the stars.

Starrlight profile image
Starrlight in reply to Nothing_but_books

comfort and wait …yes thank you… I’m taking care of myself. Coco. Foxes. The kiddos. The wind and the stars. Tomorrow’s full moon. 🙏 ☺️ I try my best that’s all I can do. How are you?

Nothing_but_books profile image
Nothing_but_books in reply to Starrlight

Beat-up. I had to run around to some stores, so now I'm trying to recuperate -- everything hurts. I'm looking for something to do from my chair. The Three Stooges is on the TV. Yikes! Do any women enjoy that stupid show?

I didn't know the full moon was due. I wonder if that's connected to how lousy I woke up feeling? I'll look for it tomorrow, thanks! 🙏

Starrlight profile image
Starrlight in reply to Nothing_but_books

oh wow I woke up lousy feeling today too. I did not go out but I feel like I did. Sorry you feel beat up. Let’s heal tonight and wake up bright and peaceful tomorrow.
