Happy birthday to my awesome friend @Owlunar 

[Owlunar]

Hi @Shaz51@Faith-and-Hope@Former-Member@Kurra

It was great to come into my thread after a couple of days off - busy - and find I had lovely birthday messages with pictures - wonderful - thanks everyone

I was out with my dd and gd on my birthday and fell asleep when I got home and needed a couple of tablets after sitting on a straight chair for a couple of hours - I did not notice it at the time I was having such a great time - but that darned mammogram had done some twisty work on my spine and Fridays are busy anyway

But for whatever reason - the anniversary has decided it will not be ignored - I have this uncomfortable feeling like an itch I cannot scratch - it's next weekend and I am glad I will be busy getting ready to go away - it's not just winter - it's this time of year and all the memories - 

But I am not going to let it get me down - I refuse to - it's amazing how much easier it was last year when I was away and this year I have had the forum family and your support which makes it so much better - without you I would be pretty much alone with all of this - but you people are wonderful - really wonderful

Thanks everyone  - it is so great to know you are all here

I can be brave and march in late to say Happy Birthday to you, I know you won't hold it against me

I'm glad to hear you had a great time 🙂 I wish reality didn't have to kick in, sending you soothing thoughts

Hi Niqua - the pic hasn't come up yet - but thanks for the belated happy birthday - it makes the birthday last a little longer and I had a really good day this year - even the sky turned on the best - it was really wonderful

Soothing thoughts - they will help too - actually - I felt bad last night - and I was watching a movie - Far from the Madding Crowd and AND - wondering why it took so long for the female hero to marry the right man for her - of course had she married the right man first off there would not have been such a worthwhile movie -

Reality - yes - those memories can be hard to live with - getting easier as the years pass I can say - but I will never be able to pass that date without cringing - and I don't think I need to - 

It's my life - we are made up of what we have experienced and how - and I would not change the past

OMG  @Owlunar i didnt know it was your Bday the other day! Sorry and this thread seems to keep getting lost somewhere. i will keep more of an eye for it now.

Happy belated Birthday! i hope your day was great for you!

aniversaires are always hard esp when a few things happen within the same month. i dont think itll ever get easier or fully dissapear but we can learn to cope and i think thats all we can do hey.

im always here for you whn you need... well anything... whatever it is.

hows that big toe of yours now? is it getting any better yet?

im glad your going to go on holidays soon too. i hope thr weather stays really good for you

hey @Owlunar, i was not sure if you wanted me to put your birthday on the birthday thread so i put it here , xoxo

Hi @Owlunar, thinking of you with these anniversaries - you know I understand, to a degree. Do connect more with us here as you need to, I'll pop in occasionally.

Glad the big toe is on the mend. Not so good about the back 😞 keep moving gently, stay warm.  I have a heated throw rug that seems to take the chill off & ease the pain - especially my shoulders and hips, quite soothing if you can grab one.

Take gentle care of you :)🌷🌿💜💕

Hi Everyone

I am just letting you know I am going through a flat stage - not really up to being helpful right now - just into self-care and letting the time pass

Tomorrow I get my rail tickets - I will feel better tomorrow I am sure of it - in the meantime I am not up to posting anything useful so I will return as I tend to do

Thanks for all your care - it means a lot on the days that I am not up to posting
