I just want oatmeal with a smile for petes sake!!!

I can go along and feel fine, happy, puttering, hanging wash, watching funny stuff on netflix. No real concern.

Then out of nowhere, back down I go. Gradually. RRRRRR I don't want excitement or always JOyful, just that comfy its ok feeling.

Nothing has changed. Did I sleep funny, did I eat wrong? Did the weather change? gads I like just being ok.

well it will be again, well it is ok, I just lost the feeling for awhile I guess.

I am with Pineapple, though I would just like someone here to feed besides the critter crew, ahhhhh YEti bring back my flip flop!

off and running. love,deb

(((Deb))), as you know, I can definitely relate. I'm feeling a little better about things today. But I'm sure there will be times again when I sink into wanting someone to be with, to help me with things, someone for me to help with things. I haven't made bread since XA left because It only stays fresh for a couple days and I can't eat a whole loaf that fast. I want someone to help me eat my bread! I guess all we can do is deal with it, get through it to get over it. And come here to share and get support. Sending you lots of positive thoughts.

Totally understand just wanting that nice 'medium' flow of life, no big huge highs - no low lows, just calm and the concerns of every day life that you describe. How sweet to focus on ourselves: what do I want to eat today, what fun thing can I plan for myself today. It is hard when we have been pulled into daily insanity to just breath easy but I don't think we ever lose the feeling of wanting someone to share our life with, we just have to be sure we are sharing it with someone who wants the same kind ofl life. Hugs Deb, you are amazing!

Did you get your flip flop back?

If you bake bread and can't eat it all within a reasonable amount of time, can you share it with friends and neighbors?

I used to bake a lot because I loved the smell in the home and it was relaxing to me. When I was living single, I'd share it with neighbors, friends and co-workers.
