on a break

(1/3) > >>

Hopalong:
Hi All,
I'm going to take a break for a while.
I'm trying to wean myself from some of my online pasttimes and turn more attention to health, stress reduction and such...and getting more done that could put my life (and creative dreams) into better shape.

What a long strange year it's been. I don't know how I would've gotten through it without our daily talks here. I think I have done okay and made mistakes and understood and been understood (as well as the other way around). I know I've received more than I've given, and I've grown more than I ever could have alone.

I'm so grateful to all of you, and especially to Doc G. It's inexpressible how much this board has done for me and meant to me and how being here has comforted me for so long now. I've certainly never felt so close to a group of people I've never laid eyes on! It's an astonishing place and you are all inspirations. Thank you for more kindnesses than could ever be measured.

Sending you much thanks and joy in being alive this extraordinary spring--
love to you,
Hops

PS Before I go tiptoe through the dandelions, thought I'd share a Covenant Group discussion I led tonight. It was loving and healing and made us all feel more connected. (For all my fears about groups of women, it's turned out wonderful.)

TOPIC: What Does it Mean to Me? Personal Lessons from the Pandemic

This is about glimpses of meaning that have arisen for us (individually) as a result of all this time alone and/or with changed lives, due to the pandemic.

QUESTIONS TO PONDER

1) What have I learned from this experience that has surprised me?
2) What has been the "gift within the problem"? Discoveries, nuances large or small.
3) What has been the hardest part, and what will I ask for now in my life to help me heal from it?

Happy Trails Hops.
It's really one of the nicest springs in a long time, IMO. Go get out in it!

I knew last evening's lightening storm with  wind, rain then lots of hail was a sign,

 Take good care of yourself.  You will be missed.

Noooo!  Aw, Hopsie!  I do completely understand the need to improve health, work on important things and cutting down on online time is always part of that.  But in my purely selfish way I can't imagine not seeing you on here each time I log on.  You have given me far, far more than I can ever put into words (or even remember, probably :) ).  I do hope, very sincerely, that good health is something you can improve on (and man adventures!), and I equally hope that you can get on from time to time just to let us know what's happening and how you are (even if it's just for a minute to say "All is good!").  Which I very much hope it will be.  I hope the real life world appreciates just what it's getting.  Lots and lots of love, I hope you don't disappear for too long xx xx xx
