Can't do this alone

@mytwistedsoul

I have the art group once a week and enjoy the challenges, skill may come later lol I painted the 2 flowers holding hands in my profile photo, and I'll take a photo of my first model and put it there tomorrow if I don't forget. Its an early Ford F100 about 1953-1955. We had a 6 week setback as the case worker is out for surgery and recovery time. We will set up the little club by July, hopefully. I think the first meeting we can vote on a name of the club Maybe. Art and models seem to be a good fit / distraction :-)

Blessings!~

@juliak1968 Hey they look nice! You used to make metal flowers too right? I'm sorry if I'm misremembering. They looked really cool. I think the ones you painted look nice - delicate -that might not be the word I want. There's detail to them - the skill is allready there :) I took an art therapy class every Saturday back before things went goofy with this virus. It was fun

@mytwistedsoul

I do make flowers out of paper and did one for Bones a long time ago out of aluminum that came out nice. I just put a photo of my F100 Ford model as my profile pic

Thank you for the nice kind words!~ We all rise together!!

Blessings, Day

@juliak1968 Hey your model looks awesome! Very nice - it would be so cool to have a real one like that!
That's the one I remember! *sigh* Bones 😞 I miss seeing him around

@mytwistedsoul

Thank you!~ I just put the front hood on so that it opens forward instead of the normal way - I'm glad you saw it, I'll update the photo when I finish the model, I need more supplies very soon. I feel as though Bones is on the other side now 😢- no way he wouldn't have contacted us all by now. Distractions and routines seems like the key to a better mental health, Squeeze in a hobby that pleases you!~

Blessings, Day

Posting from across the country - on a visit to my family. Feeling trapped in the home and bored all at the same time. Longing to go home again, but know it is only two weeks out of my life to spend time here.

OMG, rough weekend again. Why does life have to be so hard. If I simply ignore and pretend I am not bothered by what he says to me = then I guess there would be no drama. But that is how I have lived the past 25 years and the result is a lot of resentment and anger which manifests as depression. Not a good way to live. Please give me strength to move forward in this phase of my life.

@barncat I'm sorry the weekend was so rough. It's hard to just ignore things sometimes. Especially if it's been going on for so long. Like you said - it builds up. And it builds up on the inside and you're right - it not a good way to live. My therapist says that keeping quiet all the time to keep the peace is an act of self betrayal and yeah it keeps the peace on the outside but does nothing for your inner peace. Of course we can't just go around telling everyone off either. I think maybe it's one of those pick your battles things

Heavens, I need to keep myself way more busy to get out of my head. Spending too much time trying to figure out next move, why he says what he does etc etc. It is NOT my job to be an analyist. But at the same time, I want to understand what is happening. I really cannot take on this life challenge alone. The past three years have almost always been hell. So many losses, so many disappointments. Thank heavens for my irl friends, and everyone here in 7 cups.

@barncat That's great! Good vets are worth their weight in gold arent they? 😊

Give Diego a gentle squeeze for me and carrots to the boys ❤️

The biggest hugs for you ❤️ 😊 ❤️

When I started this thread it was because of the covid pandemic. So many changes and life struggles since then. And how true - no one can get through life alone. I am blessed with the 7 cups family - were always there, and still are. And many dear friends in my real life, thank heavens. Couldn't do it without each one of you.

@barncat Hey again lol :)

Needed to drop off a Christmas rattie ❤️

Merry Christmas Barncat. I hope you have a good holiday! ❤️

@mytwistedsoul- Have a great holiday season too. Just getting my decorations out.
