@bestVase7265
Hi, Vase!
I send you my wishes that things get better soon.
You are one of the best persons I know in Cups, and among the very few most consistently supportive.
I hope that at least some of the massive support you give bounces back to you when you need it.
All the best to you!
Marcelo.
Thanks so much. My father isn't well and lots of the decision making and reporting falls on me. My immediate family is good though in terms of support. But the stress is hard to manage and I am reminded much more frequently than usual that mental issues never completely die out. But I am trying. Just exhausted. @HealingTalk
@bestVase7265
How good that your family is so supportive!
You are right that even when we get better and better, some fragility might remain dormant deep inside, and reveal itself under too much pressure.
Moreover, as Von Clausewitz put it, in circumstances of great pressure and stress "everything might seem very simple, but the simplest thing becomes difficult. These difficulties accumulate and produce a friction which no one can imagine who has not experienced it. Through the influence of an infinity of petty circumstances, which cannot properly be described on paper, things disappoint us, and we fall short of the mark."
Thankfully, you are wise enough to prioritize caring for yourself. Do it even at the expense of some imperfection in the accomplishment of the duties at hand. It's better to stay afloat and keep going at the price of some imperfection than to burn out and compromise your whole efforts attempting to be everything and do everything "right".
Embrace imperfection, give yourself permission to relax, take breaks, and have some "me" moments to recharge. You might also consider going "On Break" here.
I wish you that you find some moments of tranquility, some distractions to relax, and some opportunities to recharge, before going back to the daily struggles.
All the best possible in these challenging times!
Take good care of yourself!
You fully deserve it!
I am really, really bad about slowing down enough to embrace self care. So I am at very high risk for burn out because it is hard for me to tell when I am giving too much of myself. I also have extreme guilt when I don't keep up with normal activities which are many.
Normally being on here helps me heal because I am helping others. But I have no idea right now if even this is stretching me too thin. @HealingTalk
Thanks @HealingTalk
You are welcome, @bestVase7265 !
@bestVase7265
Sorry to hear you are struggling, please take all the steps to care for yourself .
You mean a lot for the community, we all wish you to feel better soon, hope people's affection keeps helping you dealing with difficulties bestVase7265 💙
Thanks very much. I can use hugs right now.@MeaningfulSilence
@bestVase7265
Hug 🤗.... Renovating it!
Thanks. It is a really rough summer. In addition to moving my dad into assisted living, our neighbor made us get rid of a beautiful tree in our yard so that he could put in a cement driveway. I have been weeping for several days. @MeaningfulSilence
@bestvase7265
Hi Vase, I don't know if you remember me but a couple years ago when I was at my lowest low you helped me get back on my feet.
I just read that you're going through some struggles and I'm really sorry to hear that. I wish you all of the strength and hope you gave me and so many others with your unselfish and consistently kind words of wisdom and encouragement.
I'm still here on 7 cups (in a better way) because of the footings you help me establish. Thank you so very much and I hope your struggles lessen as the days pass.💚
Of course I remember you. I am glad that you continue to do well.
My father's health is not well and it is quite stressful and causing family friction. So I am pretty exhausted at this point. Hopefully it will even out a little soon. @IsayUncle
@TheRequiem You have been so supportive over the last year. I hope our paths cross again soon.
@CoastalDreamer
Aww. You've been a great help too!
@CrazyVibeGuy I have appreciated your friendship and support. You make me feel a little less alone in the world. I'm sorry if it seems like I have disappeared on you. I hope our paths cross again. -Feathers
i appreciate @seashell145 for hosting gratitude circle today and also for taking active steps in making their life feel better 💛
@Fristo
I bet that seashell did a good job with it! I appreciated having their support when I hosted. Seashell has amazing empathy and is excellent at reading the room. ❤️
In life, we meet various people. We see so many people. We connect with lots of people.
Some were passing by. Some were looking for support. Some were offering help. Some were showing kindness. They're leaving immeasurable legacy; sharing precious moments and lessons for us to hold and cherish.
A 'small' nod to greet the neighbour,
A few seconds to hold a door for a stranger,
A little bag of treats for stray cats / dogs,
A short text to some friends,
A phone call to relatives.
These 'simple' or 'small' things we do might be a reason to lift someone's up.
A lonely neighbour may feel less alone
A stranger may realize that someone did care about them
Some cats / dogs may be able to feed their kitten / pups
A friend / family may know that someone was thinking about them.
I'd like taking this moment to compliment each one of you (including you who's reading this). I hope that by planting some seeds of gratitude in this Garden; it may be worthwhile for many -- to enjoy the fruits and sharing it with many more.
Your 'small' and 'simple' gestures were so heart-warming and inspiring.
Realize or not, you're imprinting legacy and I am one among many people whom grateful to cross path with you.
Thank you for allowing me to learn so many invaluable lessons from you.

I hope you can take some time to breathe now, after constantly working on both teams. I don't know how you did that, and as much as I admire it, you deserve a break now. Thank you, again, for being you ^^
@bestVase7265
That's really sad 😢
Sorry for all the issues you are facing.
Did the neighbor ask permission to cut the tree?
Where I live nobody can cut even a small tree and if the soil isn't of their property the municipality doesn't allow any tree to be cut....nor flowers can be taken. Not sure if over there it's the same but...ya... it's the bad thing that happened on top of everything.
We are here Vase, supporting you if you need 💙
Appreciating @Iduna for trying their best and for being passionate about appreciation.

@Tinywhisper11 you cutest ❤
@Optimisticempath yeah I know I am the cutest I was just trying to be nice😁😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I love you ❤❤
For me, the garden, the backyard, is first and foremost a place to relax. I immediately decided that I'd hire a specialist, a gardener, who would come from time to time and take care of the plants and flowers. At this time I plan to relax under parasols for the garden, which I already bought at Cazaar. This online store was recommended to me because they have a really wide selection of garden and backyard products at affordable prices.
