@Mustang67 I am so glad that you chose what was going to make you feel at peace yesterday. And you are right, you pushed through and ended up having a lovely day with friends. Grief doesn't leave us, it changes over time so it becomes more manageable. And it sounds you are definitely in that journey of grief changing.
I was going to suggest the writing of a letter or your emotions and then burning it but then I thought burning may be upsetting. I don't know why I thought that. But yes, it's a great idea. I need to do that with all my feelings too after everything that's happened. I just need to find a place to do it safely and away from the kids.
Hugs to you and I hope Monday goes OK. The day will pass and you will be OK.
Sending you love and hugs 🫂 🤗 xx

@Shaz51 good morning!! Ouch! Flies!
Well the intention was good with getting up early and exercising 😀. Do you have some ointment for the bites? Hope it's not painful or itchy now.
I have a busy day grocery shopping and decluttering. Kids are on holidays so trying to plan some fun things to do together. We are going camping on Friday and coming back Monday. Camping at Batemans Bay in NSW.
Good morning to everyone else! So many new members 🥰...welcome!!!

@Oaktree oh no! I hate it when that happens and I can't get enough sleep. Hopefully you got enough sleep to function today and get those yummy sandwiches to your Church event. You overcater too? 🙂...for us it's a cultural thing but yes, visitors never leave empty handed. Also helps clear the fridge 🙂.
Sending you energy for the day! 🥰

@Shaz51 my sister Shazzy, I meant if S3 is the closest emotionally to you 🙂. Sounds like he is!
Yes inlaws are difficult. I really hope my kids have better luck that I had and that they are loved and accepted for who they are. Sadly my inlaws wanted someone else for their son and I was only accepted as long as I toed the line.
