About an hour and a half ago, I decided that I should read notifications and make a drink. It is only in that time that I became aware of today's events.
I have read all the posts and acknowledged each one to signify my affection for you all and my concern. I am very pleased that neither of you let the sun go down without being back to talk with each other.
I am really very sad and sorry that you have both experienced such stress and distress. While it is not my place to thank @Zoe7 , I can certainly acknowledge that her input appeared to have had a calming effect for you both. I can also see that her input assisted in the process of you both coming to a resolution of the matters today, for which, I hope that it is not presumptuous of me to express appreciation.
You both have a special place for me, and for different reasons. At this stage, not having realised that it was so late, I am about to go to bed. I will be out for much of tomorrow, but will be continuing on with the project, on which I have been working for most of this afternoon, when I get back home.
love Sophia 🧡💛💜 an orange heart for friendship and care; a yellow heart for sunshine warming your hearts and a purple one for compassion....feeling your pain...
I hope that you managed to have some sleep last night...
I slept in until 8.00am and am still eating breakfast...
as much as our journey last night was distressing; I can now see that it was also magical...
a donkey and a tiger dancing around each other on a misty moor....working hard at talking to each other....getting to know each other better....opening up about feelings and how important the friendship is...
moving past the difficulty and finding true friendship in each other again...always there....hidden by each of our states of mind at the time....
then poof.....along came a butterfly.....gently landing closeby not wanting to intrude....just hold us both so that we felt safe with our vulnerabilities.....
then we were three......a donkey ...a tiger and a butterfly....dancing around on the misty moor...way past our bedtimes....just living in the moment....soaking up the love and friendship shared between we three.....
a special cat overlooking the whole scene...sending a very special love to his mum letting her know that she was quite safe in reaching out to help two of her friends...
A very special time for us all I believe...
Thank you @Zoe7 for such gentle, sensitive mediating...
I hope that you also slept well..
when you find a special place...a new thread....a place where you feel comfortable...I would love to hear of your plans and where you are with your beautiful sanctuary..
do you want to keep this thread for you and HenryX
would you like @Zoe7 to start a new thread where she can share her special tribute for beautiful cat if that is what zoe wants.....might want to keep private..
would be nice to have a place where we three can be ourselves....others joining in if they wish.
meggle we can still keep virtual thread for fun and whoever we want to be..
will meet you over there if you have not already been there...
whilst I do appreciate the fact that we managed to patch things up last night I have not yet done anything about canceling the email. I got a response to say that they will respond within 48 hrs. Poor Henry coming online and finding like 4 pages of goings on to read. I also imagine that he needed a stiff drink by the end of it. I spoke to my psychologist for half an hour yesterday afternoon while I was melting down. She said ruptures in relationships are a normal part of life. I guess I just avoid difficult situations and don't want to face them until it all finally explodes in my face which is what happened yesterday. I really need to learn to recover the situation much earlier before it has time to fester. I was deeply hurt by even the mere thought that you were hurt. I really do care about you and your feelings. I don't care if you hang out here in this thread with myself and Henry. I believe he would enjoy your added company.
You are preparing for a stay in hospital within 6 days I believe?
I am glad that you did speak to someone in the real world though....I think that would have helped ground you perhaps......
I felt that I was making matters worse and was at a loss with what to say...
The part where my post sounded abrupt....read my response or something like that.....I only had 1% battery left on my phone...my phone was also ringing non stop from unwell son...husband was wanting me off of the computer as spending too much time on here.
I needed you to know my triggers...
So sorry about sounding abrupt...
all sorted....
let's agree to meet here if any misunderstanding occurs again shall we?
what are your thoughts about thread ideas that I have written there?
would you like to talk about them here or over there?
I arrived home about an hour ago (about 6.00pm) after a longer day than I had expected. It did include a 2 hour drive each way to Geraldton, with me as a passenger. I travelled with one of the couples I have mentioned recently. The day was pleasant, included some addresses, discussions and lunch.
It is extremely gratifying, and has given me a great deal of relief and pleasure, to have been able to read today's notes and correspondence and know that you are both feeling much better yourselves, and with each other, including appreciation to Zoe.
Even more special, while yesterdays events were obviously and painfully distressing, that I also read about positives that seem to have flowed from an otherwise unfortunate situation. That outcome could only be as much as I could and did wish for, in terms of progress and future vision.
We may each have been able to take with us something positive from the events. I do look forward to us each having a clearer understanding of each other's position and situation. From that it is certainly my hope that our communications will be constructive, reassuring to each other, and more easily remedied, if there is ever any misunderstanding.
Having read today's messages, to each other and written this short note, I shall have a cuppa and a light tea. I intend doing a little more work on the project. Hopefully I will be able to recover some captured thoughts, from today, to include in the work I intend proceeding with.
