Thank you @Former-Member It can be so hard when we miss someone.... Grief can run deep. Am sitting with you holding your hand 🌹xx

I wish I could sit by your side face to face @Zoe7, sharing a laugh and tears. I would if I could. That is for sure. Am always with you in spirit. And always here when you need to talk about anything.

Maybe you would be interested in joining in the short story collaborative group I am working on setting up here?There's no pressure - you just write as little or as much as you want to, as you can and when you can. I find writing fiction a good release for releasing those pent up emotions and aids as a good distraction for a bit. What do you think? It could be fun. Sending you a warm hug xx ❤️❤️❤️

@Former-Member Sorry you witnessed the accident, very distressing.

The site for your new home sounds exciting. Do you have plans already drawn up or are they yet to come? It means you can create your own little paradise. Will it have a big garden area? Something else to plan.

Thank you for liking the song. Yes I do have a tune in mind. I don't know the Internet procedure. I'm trying to find ways to record without it being expensive. I don't want to sell my music, I want it to be a gift to weary travellers. Some company along the way.

I did do some cross stitch today and planned some housework. Well the housework is still in the planning stage. Lol.

Raining down this way which makes the days much warmer. Sleep well.

Good morning @Maggie How are you on this beautiful day? Nice and sunny here today, a tad windy but warm.

I didn't actually witness the accident thank goodness. I was in the piled up traffic at the back, but I saw it as I went by. Very sad indeed. People are too impatient on the roads up here unfortunately and along this stretch is national park, so a car just has to veer off at high speed and hit a tree. Otherwise it's a straight well maintained  road and should be quite safe. Poor man though.

Its wonderful how generous you are with sharing your talents. I would be the same except with my ideals on novel writing, if not copyrighted it does get changed to be nothing like the original. And for my writing to be tampered with would devastate me as it's from the heart. I am like you though, it's not about the money.

I will have to get working on our writing group soon. Still feeling a bit knackered now but will get there gradually. It should be fun. 

Glad to read you are getting some cross stitch done. Would love to see photos of your work in progress when you can. I haven't touched mine for awhile because of my side, but that is on the improve so should get back to it shortly.

I still feel abit fragile emotionally but each day is bringing a small step towards renewed strength. I am really looking forward to my move. When I was walking around it yesterday I caught a glimpse of the ocean top - it was a rich deep sapphire blue, so so beautiful. Are you happy where you are now? The natural environment sounds beautiful. That's my cup of tea.

Hoping you are having a relaxed Sunday. We should be signing the exchange papers for our new home on Tuesday - wish me luck!! Hugs 🤗 ❤️xx

@Former-Member I have managed some cleaning today, as well as a bath for my girl. She's fluffy as now and finally dry. I thought I'd do her in the kitchen sink as last time she got an ear infection. I do dry her ears well but it's difficult. Well the sink isn't such a good idea, but now I know for next time, back into the shower it is.

Yes I am happy where I am. It's semi rural and in this part of the country,it means only 10-15 mins out of the city. So the best of both worlds really.

Feeling knackered is ok, I feel like I'm always tired, chronic insomnia I'm afraid. What I'd give for a nights sleep, but in saying that I've tried sleeping meds only to get a few hrs sleep then felt drugged all day, so they aren't for me.

Your new home situation sounds georgeous. I love the sea, something so calming and spiritual about it. So Tuesday is signing over day, that's exciting.

It's raining here, has been for the last few days, the sun is trying to break through but I don't think it will. I like grey days. 

The writing group is already showing signs of interest and I agree, it should be fun.

I hope you have a relaxing Sunday, not sure if the little white dog is coming today or not. Hugs back.

sending you hugs @Maggie, @Former-Member, take care

Hello @Zoe7, @Former-Member, @oceangirl 

[Zoe7]

@Former-Member I really do appreciate your love and support so much  The one downside to the amazing people we 'meet' here is that we cannot do this face to face - I am sure some of us would love to be able to do this - I certainly would - but as it is not possible we can only continue to support each other in the best way we know how here. 

I think your idea of a short story collaboration is a fantastic idea - please get that set up and include me - and I will contribute when/if I can @Former-Member

Sending you love always...

Zoe

Yay @Zoe7 - that's fantastic that you want to be part of the short story writing group!!! I feel like a big kid at the moment lol, a tad excited - it should be fun. I can get like that at times - makes life more interesting 🙃. There are a few forum members interested now. I will work on setting it up very soon once I get this contract for the new house out of the way. 

Yes true it isn't possible to support face to face - I just hope I am helping a bit because I want you and others here to be happy. True we can't be happy all the time as that's life, but those happy moments make it worthwhile for me. I know what suffering is like, I know how it can seem endless and hopeless - but there is a light there I swear, as I am nearly there. I want you to feel it's warmth too so bad. My friendship is real...as is my love. You are special to me and always will be. It does take time, a life journey really, but it is so worth it ❤️❤️xx Baby steps.

Hi @Maggie and all - just a quick post to let you know I have been quite ill overnight. Seems this virus or whatever it is, is turning gastro and I am very nauseous - GP calling in this afternoon. So I may be off line for awhile. Didn't want anyone to worry. Will be thinking of you my dear friend - have a wonderful week special lady. Warm hugs xx

[Maggie]

@Former-Member Sorry to hear you are so unwell. Seems like one things straight after the other. Try and rest, but you don't seem to be given a choice at the moment. Will be thinking of you. Warm hugs.
