Trying makes it worse

Re: Trying makes it worse

Hey @Appleblossom Well done.  Move over cool hand Luke ,  I say.            What sets us  'off'   You say.

 

No. . .  I   mean,     what  hidden thing or construct of events is the fiddlestick best left untouched thats disguised by all the other clutter we think or are led to believe,    set us of..  The experts think they know us. . .

 

That truly is one of life's great mysteries.  But you gained more than you lost and knew when to ease back of the trigger and leave.  I call that great progress mate.

As for boundaries.  I'm a man who's frontal lobes scan grey.    It takes a very special and understanding 

person to maintain an enduring friendship with such a man.  She sits patiently for hours,  my book keeper friend,     looks up from 

her paperback and glows me a smile.    The constant ebb and flow of our boundaries is more than the old timbers could bare.  We compromised a fence around the both of us and hope within it we can dream of happiness.  As for  The boundaries of others, . . well I still depend on charity there.

 

Have a wonderful weekend  Appleblossom   @EternalFlower   @TAB   @StuF  And all        tonys

 

          

Re: Trying makes it worse

Hi @tonys 

Shame to hear you've bailed on the music thread. It Is hard to keep up!!!

 

I hope you have a good day today!

Re: Trying makes it worse

@tonys 

 

Your book keeper friend sounds special, which makes me so glad you have each other in your lives

Re: Trying makes it worse

@tonys 

Also, had to say: "glows me a smile" is an awesome turn of phrase!

Re: Trying makes it worse

Hey @StuF and @TAB Guess I have bailed on music thread. I pop in now and then.

 Still got music in my life.  Thats wot counts. lol 

 

@tonys I am glad your old timbers can get shivered... and you are still seaworthy.

 

@EternalFlower I daresay I pulled a face when a poor excuse was made for the absence of the pdoc at our recent CTO hearing.  Hearing you about long term neglect.  Hang in there with NDIS and hope you get decent support to keep you afloat ... swimming swimming ... my fave colour is green too, so many variations. I work with that in my garden.

 

Fare thee well ... me hearties ....

 

Re: Trying makes it worse

@Appleblossom  yes I sort of notice re music thread but yeah

Re: Trying makes it worse

Yes @Appleblossom  having music in your life Is what counts 🙂

Re: Trying makes it worse

Glad you liked that one @StuF .  Coming from you thats a big compliment. I have seen what you can do

with a pen.  You've  got skills that you don't let of the humble leash often, but when you do its quite

spectacular.. I hope your days been good Stuff.  You know how busy hospital gets. First chance Ive had to rip a letter open.  Be back later mate.  Take care                     tonys

Re: Trying makes it worse

Thank You @tonys 

I likewise regard that as a big compliment 🙂

 

Day was good enough thanks. I hope yours has been too 🙂

 

 

Re: Trying makes it worse

Hi @Appleblossom  I hear you on music.  My old guitars have been dragged from pillar to post and I even have my little Hohner in my pocket for good luck though I'm not game or able to play it in here yet. One reed died about 6 years ago and they are not replaceable on mine.  Wouldnt last a day without music.  The internet is new to me. I'm addicted to You tube music. 

Found myself getting on the music thread later and later each night with work piling up on the farm.

Its one thread I didn't feel right doing semi focused and tired.  It taught me how to post songs and led me down many roads I'm still exploring. I will always be grateful to the music thread.  Its on my... RE

to do list..     Yes I'm very lucky re book keeper. Don't fully understand it. The twilight zone has some unusual dwellers.  If your on your way out for the eve, I'll keep one eye one the news. . Take care 

Appleblossom.

 

Hi  @EternalFlower  Green wall paper skies for me too mate. Its a gentle soft natured colour,  a part of our DNA perhaps.  But pressed to the ultimate choice, I'll take a rainbow sandwich in neat triangles,

on a blanket by the brook.

Your struggles are such some days that I near cry for you.  I think Apples probly got the best experience from what I read. Those shoes have got some mileage.  All I can say is from a distance I think you often sound a little stronger than you did when I first met you,   but I still worry a lot.  You have solid friends here and I see newcomers have made it feel a bit more like home here.

I still would love to change it to trying make it  'better'                             one day...  @Thyme ...  ?

Ok   just kidding.

@TAB        What mischief have you been up to buddy.   I'll have to go for scrounge.  Would spent uranium fuel heat your place.   How is the home.  Take care mate I'll find you later

 

Hope everyone is warm and safe.       Take care everyone                           tonys.
