💗 Nice picture... took me a second to realize it's clouds. ☁️ Thanks hon for this reminder... really needed to see/hear it, especially after therapy. Going to attempt to take in some nature therapy once I get home... hopefully the rain has stopped by then .

Starrlight in reply tomelbrown

Thanks and you’re welcome ☺️ Enjoy nature therapy. What if it is still raining? Will you do something similar instead or go out in the rain?

melbrown profile image
melbrown in reply toStarrlight

🦆 Probably stand on the back porch for a bit.. just to at least get some fresh clean air & take in some of the peaceful beauty of the yard, that you get after rain. Maybe do a mindfulness exercise.

Nice Mel! Enjoy ☺️

I am too much. I am too little. I waffle; I vacillate. I don't know if I've ever felt "enough", just right.

Now I'm Goldilocks. Nope, not this chair. Not that one either. Nope, not this porridge. Tryin' this bed. Tryin' that bed...

I always thought the bears should have eaten her after she trashed their house. Just sayin'. 🤔

Starrlight in reply toNothing_but_books

You are uniquely you and that’s perfect.

Yeah they probably should have eaten her. Just like Hansel and Gretel got eaten. What weird stories.

Did Hansel and Gretel get eaten then? I thought the woodcutter came and saved them or was that Little Red Riding Hood? Actually remember a version in which Hansel pushed wicked witch into furnace/ oven and closed the door of it while he and Gretel escaped…boy am I getting confused now, somebody help please…

Starrlight profile image
Starrlight in reply toprimrose81

Oh I was wrong you’re right! I just had in my mind a picture of the kids being in oven but yeah that must have been the lady or witch being put in oven.

Is that the one where Jeremy Renner plays Hansel, who goes Diabetic 1, shoving injections into his leg.....

Nothing_but_books profile image
Nothing_but_books in reply toAdlon57

I'm not modern enough to get the reference. Looked it up. Oh.

primrose81 profile image
primrose81 in reply toAdlon57

Gosh I have no idea Adlon57 - I was just going on what I had read in fairytale books when the children were little ( and I always checked they had happy endings..and the witch did deserve it, didn’t she?!)…

Adlon57 profile image
Adlon57 in reply toprimrose81

It was a film of "Hansel and Gretal; Witch Hunters" (2013) that was the one I meant Jeremy Renner as Hansel, a gothic romp!

Nothing_but_books profile image
Nothing_but_books in reply toprimrose81

It depends on which version you've read. The original tales were graphically violent. Not for children at all, at least not by modern standards. Lots of translators prettied them up.

Adlon57 profile image
Adlon57 in reply toNothing_but_books

Yes that more recent one had witches killed by 17th century machine guns at the red moon, plenty of blood, and lots of CGI's all over the place, very gothic👀🧙‍♀️🧙🧙‍♂️

❤️ Hi! How are you doing?

in reply toStarrlight

I’m holding on, thanks for asking. I was trying to stay away from this site for awhile, but I think I’m addicted to it. How have you been?

Starrlight profile image
Starrlight in reply to

I’m glad you’re here. Remember that you are strong as you hang in there. I’ve been ok thanks. Staying busy. Im on Spring break and have been spring cleaning. Also managing to overthink lots of stuff though. Off to meditate in a minute.

in reply toStarrlight

Thank you. I’m so sorry your Mom passed away. My Mom is 80 and I am way too dependent on her. When she goes I know it’s going to be rough for me. Probably in the next year or so I may have to go to a womens group home or something like that and I am very nervous about it, my parents are too. I’ve lived in a lot of different situations. Sorry, I don’t mean to sound like I’m all about me. It’s just not easy to have the mental health issues that I do, and I’m sure it isn’t for you either.

Starrlight profile image
Starrlight in reply to

Thank you. I know the feeling (((((hug)))))) of being worried a parent will pass…and my dad is 85. He just redid his will today so I’ve been thinking about it.

I hear you. I’ve been in lots of different living situations too because of my mental illness and it sucks. Yeah it’s really not easy for us. I tend to find that things work out better than I imagine though. So I hope that will be the case for you.

Hey Hiba!!! I tend to do the same. The more we believe, the more it’s likely we are able to make things we want happen but at times it’s so hard.

I have been doing that, so much easier to get out when the suns bright.

That drives me crazy! You just get all the laundry washed, hung outside, and the dark grey clouds start to loom. No sooner does everything get dry than they're wetter than ever, and so am I. Yuck.

More like a bib.

Wait I thought it was premie??

in reply toDolphin14

Trying to pump myself up here a bit so I said newborn instead of premie. You're right tho.😕

Dolphin14 profile image
Dolphin14 in reply to

I'm sorry. The truth sometimes hurts us. Don't focus so much on the bib. I had one for my son was really cute. Said I'm the little guy.

Anyway, spirits up my friend focus on the 🏆.

in reply toDolphin14

Thank you. And to think I was watching Free Willie at the time and missed half the movie😭

Dolphin14 in reply to

Are you body shaming me? 🐬

I wasn't thinking clearly. Had this bib over my face.😕

They're letting me go to work and I haven't a thing to wear.🥶

Dolphin14 profile image
Dolphin14 in reply to

No sh**. I didn't realize you were this funny.

Put that bib away. Stand tall and proud 🏆

Free Willie wasn't that great of a movie. My pod gave it half a star

in reply toDolphin14

I can do that. Standing tall now. They're telling me to sit down.😂

There's nothing like a bit of black humour, to laugh yourself out of a dark corner, recently found I did not have Prostate Cancer, after going through biopsy last June, then hormone injections and radiotherapy, they did not have the guts to tell me they were wrong, BUT the reaction to the Decapeptyl SR hormone injection has proved as serious as any cancer scare, I was diagnosed terminally ill with my epilepsy, having had 400 seizures "next one will probably be my last!" hanging over me, my rib cage structure has in effect 'collapsed' 🥴BUT a nice little dig in the ribs, finances April 2022 £130 a week April £205 a week😜😛

I get that. Some try to take away our freedom more and more these days and some are succeeding.

Encouraging words hard to do

Starrlight profile image
Starrlight in reply toTrainchaser

So true. For me it is difficult too. We can work towards it. I only feel enough when I’m really aware /conscious in the present moment.

Trainchaser profile image
Trainchaser in reply toStarrlight

Try my best but sometimes my own thoughts get in the way. I worry so much over things I really have no control over. Lots of my worry comes out in my dreams. Ugh

Starrlight profile image
Starrlight in reply toTrainchaser

Me too! So many snxiety dreams! I too worry about things I can’t control and it drives me nuts because it’s like ok logically it doesn’t make sense but so many people find themselves worrying. I guess all we can do is try our best.

Trainchaser profile image
Trainchaser in reply toStarrlight

Sometimes I don't even want to go to sleep for fear of dreaming. I am lucky in that I wake up all anxious but don't remember my dreams past waking up. I usually have to take a prn to calm myself down. My dreams mix the old current and future. Sometimes I can't get back to sleep so I start my day early

Starrlight profile image
Starrlight in reply toTrainchaser

That’s rough. I don’t usually recall my dreams lately either but when I wake up from them I start in on rushing. I am going to try to change this.

Trainchaser profile image
Trainchaser in reply toStarrlight

I hope the dreams go away as well but they been with me so long. And I wished I worry less.

Starrlight profile image
Starrlight in reply toTrainchaser

Would be nice if you could recall the dreams, so you can learn from and problem solve using them. In the meantime, do you want to try meditating when you wake up? Or exercising?

Trainchaser profile image
Trainchaser in reply toStarrlight

Usually listen to smooth jazz music or the sounds of the ocean. Another night of dreams but not bad enough to keep me up
