Oh @Maggie ... just like everyone else here, I was so excited when I saw your name come up here today. And on my thread too ... thanks so much for that. I have been watching out for you, and hoping to see you over the past couple of months. And I am really happy to finally hear from you.
Sorry to hear you are still waiting to move into new and more affordable accommodation. It will happen one day, hopefully soon. I cannot believe that a place like where you are do not cater adequately for vegetarian meals! How odd ... every restaurant these days have at least a couple of vegetarian options.
Anyway, much as I am thrilled to bits to hear from you, I also realise that life remains incredibly hard for you. So I accept that you will come and go as you feel able, and will wait with open arms to greet you every time.
I see that you have already done a bit of 'skipping' around a number of threads in an effort to catch up with everyone. Good to see. Dont overdo it .. okay? Take your time and go at a pace which you find comfortable.
Good to hear that little Mags is well and continues to be the wonderful little companion that she's always been. Holly too.
Much love and admiration to you,
Sherry 💕🐶💜

@Zoe7 @Sorry to hear Toby had an ear infection, Mags ha one a few years back. And cat, they are wonderful creatures aren't they. My girl is by my side, warm as toast. As always, my lifeline.
You remain a treasure as always. So good to hear from you.
@Faith-and-Hope Lots of these for you. 💜💜💜

Toby has just wandered in from outside and is back snuggled by me too @Maggie Cat is talking for her night biscuits - she doesn't get daylight savings time is over and thinks it is nearly 8pm lol No doubt she will go outside again for a little while so I need to keep the door open for a bit longer tonight. Our fur babies are certainly our little security blankets 😺🐶❤
It is so good to hear from you Hon - I see you as a treasure too and so much enjoy your company when you can pop in. We really do care about you here Hon and no matter how tough it is for you we are here to support you also

@Former-Member @I was sad to read of your brother and SIL loss. So hard for you all. You continue to plod on through all your battles. You are amazing.
Humm, the vegetarian diet. I ate vegs with no protein for 6 mths. When I asked to cook myself, I was told I couldn't. I thought about it and thought, oh yes I can, so I did, but they refused to stop charging me for meals I wasn't eating. You can still see my heel marks!!!!
Tried communicating, my counsellor also tried, so I stopped the food money. Acton!!!! I still have to eat what's provided, but now get protein and fruit. I no longer go to the dining room. They are afraid others will choose to cook their own, and cook will be out of a job.
Anyway, it's temporary. The manager knows I'm leaving ASAP regardless of the lease issues. It's ended up being a nightmare. Sorry for the rave.
On a lighter note. I'm teaching an 86 yr old how to paint mandala stones!!!!!! She has a new lease on life.
Mags is well. How is Holly?????

It is so hard when that internal dialogue takes over our thinking @Maggie - sometimes no matter how much evidence there is to show people care we still feel alone - but we are here for you Hon and we really do care. You are not just an avatar on the screen or a post to read - you are a real, wonderful and feeling person who we connect with because we care truly about you the person. You are more than cared about Maggie - you are loved and that is because of the wonderful person you are and the absolute sincerity in everyone of your posts.

I find it hard putting words around my feelings. Just identifying the feelings gets difficult enough.
I write songs/poetry or just write as it flows.
If it's too dark, please let me know and I'll remover it.
I'm beyond being broken
Beyond words ever spoken
Beyond pain
Beyond shame
Beyond blame
I'm beyond needing someone
Beyond a journey so long
Beyond need
Beyond greed
I am empty
I'm beyond fearing judgement
Beyond needing contentment
Beyond trying
Beyond dying
I am empty
I'm beyond reaching out
Beyond needing to shout
Beyond tired
I am empty
I am empty.
