Please, somebody - talk. I NEED to hear somebody say something.

Hi Wren! :Wave-Hello:

Early Saturday morning here. Humid as, but I won't talk about hot weather around here. ;)

It's still dark in my house although the sun is coming up. I just let the mad cat outside. She'll probably want to come back inside in 2 minutes and then go outside again 2 minutes after that.

I hope everyone we know is safe and well in all the bitter cold and stormy weather in the US of A.

How are you doing over there, Wren.

I hope your computer is working fine again now.

Time for a coffee I think...

:hug:

Hi wren, hi Lara...just got home from errands and fixed lunch. Horrendous winds here and I'm keeping an eye on our many pine trees that are out there swaying. It's been an interesting winter $$ wise, first the split rail fence was "taken" down by a young driver that was driving too fast, then we lost a huge pine tree in the ice storm, then we had to get a new boiler, then yesterday our flat roof, over the kitchen and downstairs bath started leaking so hard it looked like it was raining in our kitchen.

I refused to let Mr.Alffe climb up on that roof at his age, so we called our "handyman" and he came and shoveled two feet of snow off it. I don't know what that is going to cost us but it had to get done. Mr.Alffe is making a few noises about moving to an apartment...I hope he'll be happy in it. *grin

And I just hesitated to share all that good news here. *grin :grouphug:

(((Alffe)))
Sounds dismal.

I hope the sun shines again for you soon.

edited to add: Oh look, I found the sun. ;)

Need full screen Alffe.

That was breathtaking Lara, thank you! :hug:

You're welcome. ;)

Beautiful!

Wren... please talk back. Are you OK?

I;m just sick and tired of all the c*ap that's going on. I've worn myself out fighting and getting knocked down. I'm tired.
Thanks for listening

I'm sorry, Wren. :hug:
It's not fair.

Wren
 

Now is the time to just coast. Stop trying to please everyone and be kinder to yourself. You deserve happiness and calm. You are so generous. Try to turn some of that on yourself. You can do it - I know you can. You are loved by so many of us. Hugs, Barbo

hello Wren
please don't go anywhere
you are needed
Very much needed
we all need to be heard
we are listening
i pray
i have persons get close to
me
when here
i write
not expecting to be judged
as this is how i am
we all have stories
that either made us weaker
or trying to stay positive
and make us stronger
pleeeeeeese stay

i was always afraid to say that
thank you for sharing

Wren, you are a beautiful person with a wealth of wisdom that you so kindly share to fellow NT'rs. I'm not sure if you are fond of music, but I'm going to direct you to a song by Robbie Williams that I have been singing to myself all week long after a prolonged bitter and personal attack in the form of written emails from my 2 horrid sisters in law. Can you hear him singing it in your mind now, "I get knocked down, but I get up again... Never gonna bring me down. It's going over and over in my mind and I hope now in yours. Small minded bitter and twisted people fight you to the corner and they thrive in beating you down, don't give them any satisfaction, try this one on for size, I'm not responding to their vitriol, I haven't replied and they are outdoing themselves in the bitterness they have been pouring into the written word. If it wasn't so sad it would be funny, but, I'm singing along with Robbie Williams, after I finish singing I'm never gonna let you bring me down, I sing "let me entertain you". Life is a song Wren, and you have a beautiful song to sing, so please keep singing and sharing your song with us:grouphug:

Pam,
 

What a beautiful idea.....singing.... the words....etc. GReaaat...need to "get up again". How befitting.

Hello Wren (special hugs my friend :hug:) Lara, Alfee, Barbo and others.

I am so sorry that you are feeling glum dear Wren. I hope the wind blows away whatever nasty words are darkening your days.

Like Lara, I live where the skies are blue and the sun is shining, and I've been spending time on the beach and camping out under the stars at night. Not every night, but at least a couple each week. We've been (hubby & I) traveling the countryside, mostly up and down the beautiful east coast where some of our most beautiful beaches hide, but other places too. One night we even watched the fairy penguins come back from sea and feed their little babies. They were ever so beautifukl andan experience I won't soon forget.

Because summer nights are the best time to see them, I have been chasing the elusive Aurora Australis with my camera. .... you would all know your own version as the Aurora Borialis or the northern lights and I am determined to catch the best aurora photograph of all times. There is one visible tonight but hubby and I have been out all day (daughter's birthday) and we were both too worn out to pack our van and go off to do some night photography tonight.... next aurora hopefully. I already have some lovely photos in my camera but if I hit the jackpot, I will be sure to share them with you.

I do hope that you are feeling better now dear wren. Sending hugs from afar ...... :hug:

It is so good to hear from you and to know that you are doing so well. Thanks for posting to Wren and to all of us. We'll take care of Wren!

Wren
 

How are you feeling?

((barbo)) thank you for asking.
I'm OK .... just wallowing in self pity and gross stupidity.

I doubt you are wallowing Wren, you were more likely in touch with your inner feelings that on occasion overwhelm us. Just know, we, your fellow NT'rs, young and old are always here for you. Keep singing girl :grouphug:

Wren
 

You are NOT stupid!
