Very sweet and cute rabbit, Roukaya ! Reminds me of the story.😀👍🌈🐇
Hi
I love Beatrix Potter and have all the books that my Mum collected, I treasure them all. All my love Lynne xxxx ❤️🤗🌈💜
Looks like a fruit filled bowl Roukaya! 😀🌈
Gorgeous picture, looks as if he's either going to lean over and smell the flowers, or take one home
Thank you
It would seem he is quite animated
It reminds me of my Father because he was always on the go
I hope you are well
Aw that’s so cute. I bet he has some tales to tell about what he sees out of that window 😊 🐇 🐰
Very cute! I like the way you have arranged everything so beautifully. 🙂🌸
You are very observant
Thank you
Are you ok
Yes, I am okay, thank you for asking. Hope you are doing well.
For some reason I keep thinking that it's Saturday! 😁🌸
I think the reason I feel so lonely is because I have poor social skills and a lack of confidence
Well, it's hard to say I think. I reckon it can be difficult to assess our own skills. I am only just beginning to find out why I find it almost impossible to trust people (and therefore why I am very lonely,) and it's only becoming clear through having had therapy. It's certainly much more involved than I thought - at least in my case. 🙂🌸
I was seeing a Psychotherapist who said I talk like a child because I am
a child
Very hurtful to me
Did you discuss what they said with them and find out just what they meant?
We are all somebody's child and there is always a child inside each of us that needs nurturing.
You don't write like a child and you have lived an adult life so you cannot be called childish, if that is what he is saying.
For myself, having no children I cannot get beyond this feeling of always being a child and it may be like this for you, but you have a mother who is now your "child". I wonder if this puts things a bit more in perspective for you.
How are your studies going?
Good morning
I hope you are well
Thank you for your reply
It would seem I that because I am not married at fifty and unemployed that my Mother expects me to solve her worries
I did this for my Father but after three years of missing the pass mark I realise by solving her worries and problems it is to the detriment of my own life
I study gradually everyday gradually but at times as I am fifty I wonder if I will be alone for the rest of my life
The only way to change is to find employment and to start meeting people
How are you
Yes, you are right, Roukaya. You may find your enthusiasm for studying increases when you have something else to look forward to in the making of friends. I find that having something to look forward to galvanises me to do whatever it is I am currently putting off. In this current situation, finding work may not be easy but perhaps you know someone who could point you in the right direction. Good luck.
Good morning
Thank you for listening
I do not know anyone to help me to find a job .
I find the studying quite difficult and this is why I did not pass due to lack of preparation and putting my Mother first
I should apply for a years work experience but only once I am on top of my studies
This is why I realise I accepted this new tenant despite her initial demands
How are you
Covid is changing everything
Hi Roukaya, I am going through a bad time. My relationship is toxic. After a week, we are now speaking, so that is something.
I was hoping people at your mosque might be able to help you with work of some sort.
Good morning
I have hardly any contact with the local Mosque
There is an issue why at fifty being unmarried , they will look down on me for not being married
I realise you have your own issues to deal with
Oh gosh, so there's no such thing as not meeting the right person yet! Or even being too busy looking after elderly parents.
I do not understand what you have said
What I am saying is that sometimes our lives do not give us a person to marry.

It really is so lovely Roukaya. It is a very nice display. 😊🌼
Thank you
I hope you are well
I have learnt every day my Mother has a new worry to tell me
Now her skin tag is painful
This is why I failed my exams because I find her worries overwhelming
I really need to start developing a life
Easier said than done given my low confidence and poor social skills
Life is what you make of it but some are naturally confident people and go getters
We are all different
Hi Roukaya, I understand that for some people, confidence and assertiveness is very difficult and might not be in their nature. For me personally, although I feel I have these qualities now, they are not natural qualities, they are something I have had to work on through many tough times. I have had people in my life try too put me down, stamp on my self worth, that is why I am strong today. You have to find the strength To say, how dare you do this too me. How dare you make my quality of life so miserable to cause me so much anxiety. How dare you try to ruin my life. People will work too ware you down so you give up or you say, right from this day on, I'm going to change my life and take control. When you are committed to doing that, your life will change. 🌺😊
I am of the view that as I am alone and unmarried this suits my Mother
I do not blame her on this but it is again due to my lack of self confidence and self belief which is really holding me back
So, it is these things you must find ways of resolving before you find, one day you will look back and wonder where your life has gone and may regret things that, maybe you could have done very differently. 😊🌼
I am fifty on my own and already starting to regret but I still think at fifty it is still possible to make a life
Not easy with a demanding mother like mine
Just a thought, but hypothetically, what would be so bad about packing a backpack, getting your passport and just going "off" on your own adventure to discover the world and learn about who you are?
It would be extremely frightening to start with. I'm not saying that it wouldn't be. But taking yourself off on your own adventure can be incredibly empowering .
If the idea of world domination id to much, and I suspect at the moment for you with your anxiety it might be to much, then why not take yourself off once a week to a new place to explore? Do you have a car? Look on the map, find a spot and just go. See what's there, broaden your horizons?
I say "hypothetically" in this reply because of this pandemic. But honestly if you are able bodied enough, do try to get time to yourself, you deserve a life. Take time for yourself to explore.
Have you ever considered an assertiveness course? Or a drama course? Alot of people with low self esteem slowly gain confidence in drama.
All these things are just suggestions and I realise NOT ideal in a pandemic. But there is no reason to not plan for the future. Don't put it off.
If I was not housebound the first thing I would do is be off living my life. And my mother would be thrilled that I was doing it.
Think hard, maybe it's time to consider getting out of that comfort zone. Yes, it can be scarey to start with but oh my goodness, I bet you'd make some amazing memories for YOU! X
Lovely. I love Beatrix Potter and all her characters. I have been to her home several times and watched rabbits running around Mr McGregor's garden. It is a wonderful place. x
That's so sweet. What a lovely display!
That's adorable Roukaya. Peter Rabbit's my favourite too. My granddaughter (aged 22!), has a huge stuffed one she sits on her bed and sometimes I ask her to bring him when she visits, so I can have a cuddle! That's such a lovely picture and how nice that Peter Rabbit reminds you of your father!

Thank you
My Father was a rebel without a cause at eighty
He was a cheeky and mischievous Dad always getting into trouble
The emergency services would always contact me as a result of his actions
I moved to Derby because of him and now I find myself very isolated and alone
• in reply toRoukaya
That's happened to a family member of mine too Roukaya who now finds herself quite isolated, and it's quite hard to then find a sense of belonging and direction. But you can make a life for yourself wherever you end up. I've been a bit of a nomad all of my life and I know it can be hard to establish a network of friends every time you move. But I'm sure there must be lovely things about Derby and lovely people too. You probably need to find ways to be among them more. When the pandemic is over, perhaps you could find some sort of group you feel a connection with. It's tough walking into a room full of strangers for the first time, and even harder to strike up a conversation with someone, but it's what has to be done, in order to make friends and fit in. Wishing you luck with that, especially now we are once again moving towards a more normal and sociable life as lockdown eases.
Hello Roukaya
Great photo, but even better that you are finding the bright spots in your life. Blessings.
