Yea ok @Appleblossom what's with this zoo thing? YOU volunteer there or something right?

[eudemonism]

Yea up and down @Zoe7 i think depot stages, social circumstances and finances play a huge part in how I'm doing... been thinking about working recently ~ 😏

[Appleblossom]

Yep @eudemonism  a couple of time a month.  It has been very interesting. I have learned a lot, and keeping more active through winter.

I cant do dogs cos of my neck, but this way I learn about all sorts ...

[eudemonism]

The best moments of my life @Zoe7 are moments where i feel i have everything i need, and i can just chill for a little bit 😁

I am working extra days over the next 4 weeks so that should help me get back on track financially as well @eudemonism Struggling with everything around us takes it's toll but work for me is keeping me busy and that is a good thing. Hope you can get some work and a little relief from it as well.

@Appleblossom Love hearing about your volunteering at the zoo 

[eudemonism]

Yep cool @Appleblossom sounds like a good gig

[eudemonism]

Ok @Zoe7 well at least youre still managing to work, as much as work can suck, it does give us meaning, purpose and an income.

[Zoe7]

Work is actcually keeping me going right now @eudemonism so I am grateful for the small things.

[eudemonism]

@Zoe7 yea... I'm just thinking about, how life is all about, using and getting used...

Hello @eudemonism 

Found you over here...

Thanks for the tag...

Loving the sound of your hotpot...

I use a slow cooker and toss in whatever is available....some planning if using meet/poultry..

yummy though 

as you say lots of vegetables...whatever in season...cost effective also..

can freeze as well..

socialising...friendships...are important...

more important though is being in the company of people who respect you and value you for who you are...

I have friends...I also do a lot on my own.....Being outside is a saving grace for me...

Nature is a good friend...

Does your community centre offer group activities....?

local noticeboards sometimes offer interests..music...watch local sports...

I always smile at people when out walking...often they stop especially with animals and a chat begins...

nice to be able to add a smile to a person's face...

Finding things that appeal to you ....these activities attract like minded people....

The library has free internet and speakers...another way to meet people...

Lovely to see that you are still communicating with others on the forums...

You might not feel that this is the case...You are actually growing within yourself....creating your own journey of relating to others...

Take care 💜💛💚🐾
