I Re: Living with Ourselves

[Sophia1]

Hello @Zoe7

I have had varying size gardens over the years and all have turned out differently...

I love gardening...the size does not matter....

we have a community centre that offers cuttings..works on a trust...share basis...

I don't use it...a friend told me about it...

I have given cuttings to friends and had some given to me in return....

nice to have something given....planted in your own garden...watching it grow and providing you with memories of something shared...

tired now

I have always loved having a garden @Sophia1 I hada small veggie patch in the garden of the flats I used to live in and lots of potted flowers on the deck. It is so nice having my own place and being able to grow my garden as I like. I am really excited about starting my veggie patch again but it has to wait until a few other things are done around the place - money is an issue just at the moment. When I am back at work I will be more able to afford to prepare the garden for a veggie patch (the space I have needs to be built up before I plant anything).

Sounds like you are ready for bed - goodnight @Sophia1

Hello @Maggie

I wish that yours struggles were not so  intense...even though I cannot possibly have an inkling of how hard it must be for you...

I am pleased though that you loved the quote...

It was relevant for me and I was hoping that you would find something for you in between the lines.....

I then read back a little and found your post about having to move...

A huge shock for you...

You offer support to so many...you have a beautiful heart Maggie ...noone can take that away from you...

You are so very strong and will find a way through this huge obstacle...

Lean on your social worker for support that is why she is there for you...no need to concern yourself with her other clients...that is her role...

check in with your friends on the forums when you can ..no words needed..

I will not tag you out of respect...I will just search for you every now and again...looking forward to when you are ready and able to visit..

Hi @Sophia1 How are you?

The lady I met on the weekend does want to see me again, in a few weeks.

That hasn't happened in a long time, so we'll see how it goes.

That's good news @Adge

I wish you all the best with it - I really do

Thanks very much @Owlunar

I was married, but I've been single for 8 years.

I gave up on dating years ago.

I'm trying to give it another go - mainly with social connection in mind, & the chance of finding a relationship.

That is wonderful news @Adge

Have you worked out where or what you will do?

or are you having telephone calls in between to work out the finer details?

Something to look forward to...

In the meantime I hope that all is well in your world...or as best as can be for most of us....

I was married for a long time @Adge 

And I have been alone for even longer

Sometimes I see someone I might be interested in but I really don't know how to let him know or if I could manage such a relationship now - I am so used to my own ways

I guess this happens as we get older so I understand it can be a hard step to make and there are uncertainties with everything

But when I look inside I would take the chance with the right person 

So I do think if you feel it's time to try again then try - sure it's scary

I'm on your side
