Hello @Elin, @31Bettyboo, how are you today

[Elin]

Starting to get back into my hobbies thank you; gardening, walking, listening to classical music, and cooking. And enjoying the beautiful rain. Made carrot cake for my husband, no sugar all fruit for sweetness. That is how I am, how are you?

hello @Elin and welcome to the forum

you are very welcome to start a new thread and to share you story is you like to

myself I am finding it hard to get into selfcare for myself

so hot and sunny where I live , it was 31 degrees and it is not even summer yet

[Elin]

I hear a lot of sadness and hopeful longing for the expectation of
something better, somewhere, somehow, to relieve this trapped feeling,
believe me, it will come. Often it is our very thoughts that actually keep
us trapped when in reality if we can see a few positive things in the
darkness it lets a little more light in and soon more and more of what
seemed an endless tunnel of hopeless, darkness and indescribable agony
becomes actually our path to freedom. Maybe relief is not in sight yet; be
assured it will come. be thankful for just one good thing and soon you will
find two and it will grow like a mushroom wait and see.

I am a bit confused Shaz51 are you a Community Guide to this forum or a
person in need going through this tough time as I thought your earlier post
outlined. I may have got it wrong, sorry if I have.

@Shaz51 you have a huge load on your plate @Shaze51. that is so much to carry without all the physical aliments you have. Do you love birds? I love bird watching, it helps me de-stress and get in touch with nature which I find most relaxing and sanity restoring.
