Saying Hi
Twoapenny:
I'm very aware that I don't get on to the board much anymore as I am trying very hard to live my life in the real world and connect with people (and experiences). Generally things are going okay, although I do struggle with it all sometimes. I am trying to eat well, do a little yoga every day and try to make my home environment more comfortable and inviting. I did reconnect with a few people that I used to know and quite quickly realised why I'd not seen them for a while! So I have let those people slide again. I've been quite good at keeping my boundaries up, although my loneliness does mean that slips sometimes and I reach out to people who aren't the best for me but quite infrequently and it serves as a reminder of what I've tried to change in my life.
I am still hoping to move at some point and I can't remember if I've already mentioned this but we've been very lucky and the neurological team at one of the best children's hospitals in the country have agreed to assess my son so I am really hoping we can get some good information from them and some advice and support for the future. I am still working on myself and have been seeing a spiritual healer. She's a very nice lady, very warm and funny, the sort of person that you feel at home with very quickly. I hadn't realised how much feeling afraid was part of my life and as that's reducing it sometimes feels quite odd that there's a space there that can be filled with good things. I have to keep reminding myself that I don't need to be afraid now and I can let that go and welcome better things into my life. But generally speaking things are moving in a good direction for us
I hope everyone is doing okay and that things are moving in a good direction :)

Hi Tup!
::waving::
So glad to hear you're doing well, and looking forward to son's assessment. It sounds promising, and we do what we can, as we can. You're such a good mommy.
You've been missed, but it's great to hear you're connecting in the 3D word.
Did you put some distance between you, and your old neighborhood?

Hi Lighter :)
I miss the board but have been sort of consciously avoiding it (and other online things) as I didn't/don't want to slip back into using it as a substitute for real life (which I think I have done a lot in the past). It's a bit like eating one biscuit instead of the whole packet :)
We've not moved yet, still in the same place but still wanting to move. Things are difficult financially in the UK, renting is very expensive and care/support for children with disabilities varies enormously from place to place, so I'm going to wait until he's had his assessments and see what's best to do then. But I don't really see too many people around here, when we got out we don't stay local so that has helped and when we're in I can just concentrate on what we're doing and not focus on it all too much. But will be really nice to get away. Am giving serious thought to moving abroad once he's older, there are some countries where the cost of living is low enough that I can teach English (which is what I used to do) and earn enough to keep us both and pay someone to look after him while I'm at work so that is an option to look at at some point in the future. But yes, things are moving in the right direction, slowly but surely, and I'm getting/staying stronger. Things are good.
How are things with you and your girls now? xx

Hi Tupp,
This is really positive...both for you and for your son.
Kudos on disciplining yourself about online rabbitholes.
I get it (worst offender, here). Even positive places can
become negatives if usage gets out of balance.
I do know that when I am in crisis, this is such a blessing,
to know I can post here.
But it's wonderful to hear people's happy news too and
especially about their dreams and new plans.
Don't want to feed the posting-demon for you, but next
time you're in the mood, I'd love to know about those
countries. Such an exciting idea.
hugs
Hops

Tupp:
I want to hear about the other Countries too. It sounds like you have your eye on the future, and all doors are open. YES!
As for me..... I'm closing on a home soon. I found a lovely Amazon bonfire grotto, on the edge of a primordial forest.... and there happens to be a lovely little storage laden house I'm planning to turn into sacred space for me and my children. I don't know how it happened, but once the stars aligned..... it happened fast, and I can't wait to see what every day brings. I wish, stand back, then POOF!.....it happens.
::reminding self ..... be careful what one wishes for::..
I'm happily thinking about what I'll do when the kiddos are older..... something I'm passionate about, just not sure which passion to choose. Probably the most uplifting one, but it's going to be a hard choice.
It's all good here, Tupp. Hug your little man for me. Everything is going to be OK: )
