Had to have an early night last night @JP81, and thankfully slept well. I was snug for the first time when I got into bed.
I'm pleased you are still able to believe in the goodness of people. For me, too many bad experiences. Only occasionally do I meet someone decent, but at least here everyone is caring and decent. I take solace in the company I get here mostly. It's nice to be helped and to feel that perhaps we have been a help to others. I think that is what life is supposed to be like.
There is such an array of people here, so many interests and points of view. Gives a little variety in life. How often, under ordinary circumstances, do we get to converse with such a variety of people at such a level, allow ourselves to be vulnerable and, often, to discuss matters others don't understand.
12° here today. Take care.

No family here, and 'friends' never were @JP81. I could never depend on anyone in my life although my parents did their best under impossible circumstances. My birth family is a mess, very sadly. I've spent half my life trying to correct it, but everyone is still an island, and scattered.
More plant re-potting today and I have to go out. Chores always need doing. Have a pleasant day @JP81. 16° in Sydney. I'm jealous. Anything on your agenda today? Take care.

@Historylover , can I just say, I've seen your responses all around the forum this morning, and am so impressed with your kind, understanding, empathetic words and suggestions. Have you ever considered applying to be a Community Guide at the next intake?

Morning @Historylover 😄
I have day rehab (exercise physiologist and hydrotherapy for six week post spinal surgery rehab) this morning. And this evening I have another session with my clinical psychologist in preparation for EMDR therapy to commence in coming weeks.
Hope your day is a good one @Historylover @JP81 @Bow

Thank you @NatureLover for your kind words, but I like to respond only when I sense a need I can respond to, to be spontaneous, to balance the books for what I have received. My life is just too messy.
