💗Starrlight 💗

Our team (Oakland A's) are playing in the playoffs today.

It's Tuesday which is zoom friends get together night.

It's another new day, full of new promises .

Love you .

Love you too, beautiful. Today I want to die. I’m being honest and I just can’t help it. I wish things were different. I’m finally shedding a few tears over the trauma I went through recently. I feel so done.

For me, a wonderful positive is opening my e-mail account, and finding another shining Starrlight post.

I am not, could never be, such as you are: hurt, struggling, but always reaching out in optimism for reminders of the good in the day.

I thank you from my heart for showing me, yet again, even though I am not alone in my pain, I can choose / not choose to be alone in my misery or to look for another way.

YOU are so often the light to that better way for me.

Oh wow Nothing_but-pain. I had no idea, thank you. You are beautiful. Your words mean so much to me I reeeeeaaaaally needed that. I am letting go now finally I am breaking down right now crying I’m hurting so badly. How could he do this to me? I will never be the same again. He could not possibly know my pain and I feel confused as to what to do next and part of me is hating him for that. My kids are seeing me cry and are comforting me. I love them so much and must be strong for them. ❤️

I am so sorry for your hurt. I wish there was something more than words I could offer.

Something more than my words:

If memory serves, you said you enjoy Audubon. Perhaps this may pass a few moments peacefully for you:

What a wonderfully sweet and helpful reply.

Hey Bob,

I'll see your cool fall and raise you one more month without snow. Oh and did I mention I heard Beelzebub is getting out the snowshoes.

That’s a tough one? During this virus most of us are looking for something positive. Sometimes I don’t care about living? I live in the USA where we’re dealing with social injustice. Crime is up, seniors are getting harassed for wearing a mask. What the HELL??? They don’t want anyone to tell them to wear a mask, but they want to pick on seniors for wearing One??? I worry about my grandson. Feeling up in limbo, not having control. I speak to my Therapist on a weekly basis, he’s calling this morning hopefully he can make me feel better? 🙏😷

Hello :-)

I live in the UK and similar is happening here , crime , people seem to be losing it and I cannot get my head around it either when there is a virus like this I thought we would all pull together !

These masks though , my Son works in a care home they are testing them once a week which is good however his colleagues had a cold not covid a cold and they all wear masks at work as it is compulsory and my Son did have a point , he said if I have managed to catch their cold wearing a mask how good are these masks with covid , it did get me wondering

Still I think it is best to wear one but makes you wonder ? :-) x

Hello :-)
