I’m so honored to know good people like yourself, even if it is online.
Squirrels are cute and funny. Every morning I take my fur baby outside and have coffee on my little porch, and watch the two squirrels local to the two biggest trees near tear up and down the trunks, across the branches and lawns, in a game of chase. Just recently, they have had about a dozen or so friends from the neighboring woods join. Then there are the woodpeckers that join in with their raucous singing and percussion, almost half-mocking and half egging on the young squirrels, it seems. The owls haven’t come yet this year, that I’ve seen. The field next to my home lies fallow, which is good. It needs time for rest, but that’s also cut down on the deer walking. I’ve seen two black snakes and a family of turtles though.
I’m glad you’re performing. I almost forgot you play piano! I’m very fond of each song you listed, especially Nights in White Satin. Will the performances be recorded? Is there any possibility you’ll be uploading audio?
I didn’t realize you’d been married before. I’m truth I learned more about myself through separation and divorce than marriage, which taught me plenty, too
I’m glad you and your fiance have taken time to work through larger challenges and last a solid foundation, before jumping in on idealism, alone. It shows diligence, foresight, and fortitude. I’ve every confidence you’ll go far together.
Thank you for sharing such personal details. I’d do the same, but there’s not much happening here, and I’m grateful, you know? Enjoying it before it’s time to engage in the next growth experience, if you know what I mean . Right now it’s basically chopping wood and carrying water; or more accurately, getting off my duff to clean my room and bathroom. They’re not in bad shape, and I don’t want them to be, while I can help it.
I am always curious about the hierarchy between my jays and squirrels. They both want to be the one to get maximum peanuts from me, but there is much back and forth on which will be more aggressive about getting them on different days. I want to know how they decide who gets priority, and when it’s worth trying to muscle out the other or to hold back. They seem pretty evenly matched.
I’m not sure if anyone will record or not. Our teacher might, since it’s 4 students playing. If I get any recording, I can share with you. I’m hoping we pull off something passable! 😜 I know the first 2 other people from previous adult student meetups, and I think I’ve heard the third person play too, and we all seem capable enough for these songs.
I made sure I learned from my past mistakes, and it seems for the best now, since it helped me deal with helping her through all her things to get her squared away. It gave me a lot of perspective and empathy to have patience with her and her recovery progress.
I feel I share a lot for someone with an “anonymous” name, but I feel what I share could be helpful to other people, so whatever. If nothing else, we all go through crap now and then, and it’s healthy to see other people do too every now and then, plus a lot of my stories have positive endings these days. Sometimes when I overhear my girlfriend on her group therapy meetings, sometimes she feels awkward having successful stories to tell whil eothers in the group are still in really bad situations, but those people saw her when she was really crushed and in a bad state, but they’ve got to watch her get out of that nd have success now and I think that should be something to show them that the therapy works and is helpful even if they arent feeling it at the moment. If they all stayed down forever, that would be more likely a sign the therapy wasnt working! 😆

Maybe it’s an unspoken round-robin experience. Sorry, I couldn’t resist. 😋

I hope you do, I’m eager and nosy! We tend to be our harshest critics, right? I have every confidence in you and your group. Sure, sure, there’s always room for improvement – and plenty of room to appreciate improvements accomplished, you know?

That’s exactly right. I’ve worried I’ve shared too much here, and looking back just at the time I’ve spent on Lemmy, I can see where I’ve grown, where my mental health has stabalized. A lot of times, growth feels like pain and loss, and it is! We have to lose the unhealthy that we’ve normalized and cling to, to get any idea what normal and healthy looks like, feels like, and how to live it. And modeling healthier behavior patterns shows others what’s possible, for themselves, even if they feel overwhelmed, at the moment. It seems you’re also in an even keel, but in the place in life where you have plenty of opportunity to practice in real life. I’m honored to have shared a little of our path together, and encouraged when the pace picks up, I’ll be able to practice my new skills successfully as well.Thanks so much for sharing.
Apologies for typos etc. My screen reverting to the top of the post, so seeing if it renders correctly is challenging me. Time to reboot?
