Big hugs to all that are suffering
 
Morning all....a bit cloudy but warm enough here in Cambridge.....what ever the day brings be kind to yourself and others
 
Good morning from a beautiful, sunny C Scotland. Enjoyed our walk this morning the loch was still as a mill pond instead of the dreich, grey mass it's been recently. Feels like Autumn is coming soon
 


Today's mood after a hot steamy afternoon. I want a pool
 
Good morning!

I feel I'm surrounded by people who are upset. I'm trying to keep up beat but when its from all angles I really struggle.
When I'm upset I get it off my chest then move on. Life is too short to wallow.
My family are still grieving and they need me more than my occasional imput.
I give what I can. I'm sorry if that doesn't suit everyone. I'm only human.
 
A little friend told me a joke

Good morning, peeps!

It's a gorgeous morning here in the West Country and it looks as if it's going to be a gorgeous few days ahead, too. Yayyy!!!

I have my granddaughters here again this week, so we've got some good 'stuff' planned - picnics in the "secret" garden (actually, it's down in the wildlife patch just behind the shed, but it's very leafy and hidden from the house, so the girls get quite excited about it, ), no doubt baking some cookies (low carb, of course!), nature rambles up the lane, painting the plaster of Paris moulds we made last week, some sand and water play, checking out how the blackberries and plums are coming along and how soon we can eat them, and getting good and messy with a bunch of paints and a roll of wallpaper on the lawn (I'm thinking footprints and handprints for a start)

I hope everybody has a wonderful day and some nice weather, and I hope the poorly peeps are improving.

Big hugs x
 
You're totally right, Vicky, and - for what it's worth - I think you do a great job of being there for others.
Over the years I've come to realise that the key to dealing with others' emotions is to be available and supportive, but not to take those emotions on board. When we allow ourselves to become too closely involved, we're in danger of becoming overwhelmed. If you don't take care of yourself first, you can't possibly take care of anyone else, and the best way to take care of you is to do exactly what you're doing - giving what you can, accepting that it may not be perfect, and being OK with that.
I hope today brings you sunshine, joy and healing.
Big hugs x
 
Morning folks, so much for autumn coming - it's back to being warm and sunny and 22 degrees! Oh well, gives me a good excuse to wear my pretty summer clothes Sending hugs to everyone who needs it, from both me and my lanky offspring!
 
Sending you massive hugs Vicky, I know what it's like to feel overwhelmed. You do a fantastic job of making people feel welcome on here, and I bet you're just the same in real life. I agree with Debra, you need to look after yourself first and only then will you be in the right place to look after other people. Just remember you will always have true friends on here who value what you do, and I for one am not going anywhere!
 
Can I come? lol
 
Thank you Barbara. A bit emotional today, it will pass. Hormones maybe too. Who would choose to be a woman?
Have a lovely sunny day. To all the guys here too. Thanks for being here Everyone!
 
Well said, Barbara! x
 
Yes @Galja if you look at it on a laptop or desktop you can see it clearly. It's a bit odd looking but it appealed to how I was feeling yesterday - go figure!
