Been thinking about the government shutdown and how so much that the current administration (exception being the POTUS) has chose to NOT do is affecting the general populous.

Also thinking about those who struggle to find work and balance expenses when the economy is such shit right now.

Thinking about how I fit into this all, and what I can do on a macro as wel as micro level to help.

I really believe that you are making a blanket statement about community members not being able to support each other. I have been supported through A LOT of health issues that I have had in the recent past. TOS does NOT say that we cannot discuss our lives when we are having a rough time. It says that if you are having personal drama with another member of this site that you cannot make it public and air your "dirty laundry". I totally agree with this TOS because I have personally witnessed some pretty ugly stuff when people break up. It becomes actively aggressive and passively aggressive shit slinging. It is unproductive and serves no purpose in the long run that everyone knows about the drama between exes. That is just my opinion.

As far as where do people go when it "boils over", TOS does not prohibit someone from privately discussing whats going on. It can be done in PMs with "friends" here. The whole site does not have to be privy to it. And if someone is "intensely private", why would they want to air all of this private stuff anyways?? That line of thinking for me makes no sense.

How can we discuss our pain openly and receive support from each other? I understand the TOS and not posting drama.

However, when a member is at their wits end where do they go to share their hurt? Yes, for some counseling is a luxury they should access. Yet since it is a luxury it isn't always an option.

It is just on my mind. Some of folks are intensely private and even our BFP "friends" don't know they need help until it boils over.

A lot, but the most pressing of them is how much I could use a cocktail.

There is always a lot on my lately. But, something amazing has happened as well. I finally feel like MOST of the time I can handle what I am handed... Its not that what I have to deal with has gotten any easier, its only that I have finally put my foot down and insisted on doing a few things for me. Its amazing how the time at the theater, or a night out with my friends each week really makes it possible to get through each week without feeliking like I am loosing my mind.

Self discovery is never ending, and I am just beginning to understand who I am again... after all this time.

My baby's injured finger. I wish I could kiss it better, and take the wicked cold away too. :stillheart:

Getting through the rest of the week when I have hit my wall at work.

Spending some much needed alone time with my partner this weekend while my step-daughter is in Canada with her dad.

How I need to get more of Ace Brewing's Pumpkin Hard Cider

And sleep

Many things .........................

I feel so loved. Everyday I am humbled with the incredible gift of gaea's Love. We just "get" each other. So we Get each other. We are walking hand in hand into our forever.

During hard times it is so nice to be able to have happy thoughts ...

The Divine Miss Miranda turns 20 today!!!!!!

We have had a day full of smiles, laughs and words of :heartbeat:!

I cannot believe it was 20 years ago that my beautiful daughter
came into this world to bless us all!!!

She is an amazing mother, incredible daughter and a true survivor.

I could not :heartbeat: her more!!!!!
I make sure that she always knows we are so very proud of her
and all she has over come in life!!!!!!

Sometimes I wish all the pieces would just fall into place without having to fight so hard all the time.

What's on my mind..

Breathing in the positive and exhaling the negative!

My ever growing To-Do List and the fast pace of the ticking hands on the clock.... Yikes!

The contractor addressing me as 'Miss'. Considering he was here to fix a mess up of his company, I'm not sure if it's a manners thing, an age thing, a company thing, or a 'fuck you for calling my company out but in the nicest way possible' thing.

No matter.

I like it.

Getting this work week over with and spending some time with friends Saturday!

I love my job. But lately I hate my job. I love it, I hate it. I want to run away. I want to be in the mountains, I want to be in the forest, I want to swim in the ocean, I want to be free. And I want more time with everyone I love. But my job is my safe harbor, it keeps me sane, it keeps me from all that running wild I wanna do. I love it. I hate it.

Watching someone make a huge mistake, and knowing there is nothing i can do to stop it....it makes me sad.
