New members beware!

Join and you will experience the welcome of a life time.

However, if you choose to speak your mind and you will have to learn the rules - unwritten as yet - but they will become as clear as the day.

The forum is a comfort zone for SAD, a sort of rest home for us seasonally wounded, complete with one or two resident carers.

Stray from the unwritten rules and you may find that you and your thoughts may need to be "cleansed".

This will become apparent if you eat the apple from the forbidden tree of this Eden.

Aaron flower,

Your riddles worry me, are you coping ok this season?

From genuinely concerned 'me x'

Linda, this is no peaceful place in my experience.

People have different backgrounds and different stories to tell. Tell it in a way that seems over-assertive and a whole collage of misunderstandings results which render people enraged.

The enraged then disappear to a new page to form the next "ain't it awful?" club. They then threaten to leave the forum, possibly in order to win the sympathy to persuade them to stay.

Some oasis! More like Sartre's Huis Clos to me ...

Thanks aaron, im feeling very well at the moment thanks.


Sometimes, to find peace people have to let go....

SAD People are very tense here at the moment, and after the recent stresses they are trying to find peace by letting go (alias changing subjects or leaving) there is nothing wrong with wanting to feel better flower.

Aaron, just wish I could help take your problems away from you and help you let go. Sorry Im not able to do that, but I wish you peace.

Take care

(sometimes messages can be misread by different people. For example this message was written with concern and no malice, however when i reread it (after shouting at the kids) it sounds aggressive - its not.

So I was wondering - I suppose people with different moods dicipher the same message differently.

All
Maybe we should all be extra careful to ensure that our tones allow our views to be easily accepted - does that make sense or has my brain just burst!! - I dont normally talk this deeply so dont worry Ill resume normal service shortly...lol

Me

Me - yes you're quite right; letting go is the fundamental ingredient to our healing.

And yes, you and Purpleivy do highlight the problems with electronic conversations - we aren't seeing each other, so encountering bare text can run riot in our imagination.

I realise that some things I've written in a teasing/fun way could - if caught at a bad time for the reader - appear quite unpleasant. Fortunately Purpleivy takes me task when I stray along that path!

Sending an e-hug to you both.

Undergoing a face lift during the brighter months !
