    “Go back for her.” That got me.

    Both of these poems resonated with me. I have withdrawn my energy from family, as it's one sided and only in my senior years have I set firm boundaries with what and who I give my depleted energy to. I have in the past "should'd" myself to death. Now I am gentler with myself. I have clutter that's out of control, my insides spilling out onto the outside I call it. I will look back on the day and say, what did you do today? Had a shower, made nourishing meals, vacuumed, planted some seeds, did the dishes, talked on RUclips! Just to make me feel like I didn't waste the day. If I feel overwhelm with the papers, and the things I have to make a decision about, toss, donate etc I attempt to do just one small area. It's a drop in the ocean, but hey no one's coming to visit anyway! I'll get to it as I begin to emerge out of the pit I've fallen into. Took a long time to get me here, it'll take a while to climb out into the sunshine.
    I hate these man made holidays, Mother's Day (today), Valentine's Day, Grandparent's Day... does anyone even acknowledge that one? I will go back and get that girl who had dreams of being an artist and writer, the sensitive little girl with long braids (plaits) who used to kneel and watch snails, and birds, and peer under rocks by the sea for crabs and gazed in wonder at all the bits of nature I'd find. Makes me sad to recall those times. I want to hug that child and tell her how much she is loved. Thanks for sharing Dee. ♥

      Let your inner child out to play - let her watch snails and gaze in wonder at nature - now, rather than in your memories. Maybe paint/draw what you study. Why don't you join us on our video walks - put your feet and and come along to lovely places whilst I chat. Would love to have you along - maybe your inner child could skip along with mine? take care.. D

    Dee, I'm still trying to get my head around 'Let them'. As a mother I gave everything I had. It is quite one sided but then we raise our children to go off and fly and make their own lives. My job is done. My joy is their happiness.

    I think you are the loveliest person and a huge inspiration. I hope to one day exude the warmth and light that you do, and to not see such things as a weakness. I am trying to find strength in my sensitivity - I suppose being tender is better than living with no gusto at all, because having a tender heart is the key to hearing the beat of all the other hearts. Sending so much love and happiness your way :,) xx

    Christmas came with a big hard decision I made to back away from always giving to a particular group of young teens. My guilty feelings took time to iron themselves out, but eventually I did. It’s so true with these words you tell, it’s time for me to think and do for myself. It’s ok I tell myself, I’m 72 and need to look after my own wellbeing holistically. Welcoming words dear Dee thank you for sharing it’s so rewarding to hear your maturity and kindness. Blessings to all ☯️🙏🥰🌸

      I see giving as a great strength, but sadly others take advantage of this. SO Great if a balanced part of a friendship with giving and accepting from bth sides. D
