@Sophia1 Sorry you are under the weather and feel invisible.
Flowers in a balanced design for you
I dont know the magic way to feel balance or when expressing is enough.
Maybe there are less people on the forum than you think and everyone is stretched.
I found it interesting to hear about herbs from @eudemonism
and pub rock bands from @Adge
A girlfriend dragged me to few Angels gigs.

Hello all
@eudemonism @outlander @Owlunar @MDT@Adge@Bunniekins
Can't get to sleep so thought I would check out here....
It is a funny night here tonight...large moth flying around...
we heard strange noises about half an hour ago...husband said that is a cow...
he went outside with torch...whilst brave cats stayed inside with mum..
the cow was loud and sounded as though on our property...
she must have been on the fenceline....calving....
apparently farmers know when to check on them...or so husband told me...
I would have been out there if I had been feeling better...
Have any of you had a more interesting or eventful day...evening?

Hi @Sophia1
I tried to post earlier - my computer was troublesome and I gave it away - I'm sorry about that - it was one of those annoying things
So somewhere I have a shortened form of a post I might find later but I wanted to write something esle
Everyone needs to be loved and cared for, listened to, acknowledged, honoured, respested, believed, sometimes sanctioned, to have the chance to join in and be part of a community -
It's natural and part of the human condition
I guess if you feel invisible then some of these needs are not being met - ah yes - people use a word I hate - "needy" - and I guess a person would be "needy" if they feel ignored and as if they don't count
But as uncomfortable as you must feel - anyone would - and you feelings are valid but they might not be sound
I remember though - when my children were pre-school - I woke up one morning feeling totally disasatified with my life - I loved my children but it was not enough - I was giving up my life so that three other people - my kids and my then-h - could live theirs and satisfying my parents desire that I be a "good daughter" and I really couldn't be that anymore.
I solved this by starting to study formally and continued as you know - people find other ways but this was how I did it. I don't feel bad at all about this - I think my kids had a better mother because I had a life of my own -
But I hear you - and you are right to feel as you do when you are unhappy about they way other people treat you
I am off to bed now and my computer has settled but it's getting late
I hope you are okay tonights

Hi again @Sophia1
I'm sorry you can't sleep - I read a lot at night and it certainly passes the time but that isn't easy in a family situation
Having the sound of a cow calving near your place is unusual but the farmer would have to know about his stock - at least I hope so - I hope you can get some peace -
You know warm milk can help of course - I like to add a little vanilla - I enjoy the taste of vanilla
Catch up tomorrow and I hope you can get some sleep - I know you have been ill with a virus
