@ENKELI  Hello my sister from another mister.

I just got out of the sauna. Telling you this is my way of encouraging you to go have a sauna lol

Dr C gave me a MH Plan for a trauma psychologist, she thinks I would benefit from EMDR. I got that and different medication starting FriYAY.

Who’s the Dockers playing this weekend?

Thanks for telling the jokes in the first place @Glisten ! Shows that you are comfy being around us 🙂

Life's pretty awesome... has it's pitfalls, but it's pretty awesome - with everyone here 🙂

Love it.

I WILL get the fires going one day. My nieces and nephews all have asthma so I don't want them to have any ashes or smoke around them... hence the heater for now. There are too many kids in hospital because of their asthma.

Such a great chat tonight. I got so much out of it. 

Even just the reminder from @MessyGirl (I think), that crises can open the door to self-discovery.

That self-discovery allows one to hone in on their values and strengths.

Self-discovery allows you to see who you want taking this journey with you, and point out those who may be hindrances.

Thanks for sharing tonight everyone! @Glisten @ENKELI @Snowie @Andarna @Patches59 @WildFlower1 @KittyLove1984 @Shaz51 @7cough9 @ArraDreaming and everyone else.

@tyme @MessyGirl  This is going into a daily reminder.

”crises can open the door to self-discovery.
