Last to post wins

This worked quite well on another forum site.

It may float or sink on this one. We'll find out.

Don't ask what you will win being the last to post, it will be something useless.

But have a go anyway.

I'm last to post so far. Am I a winner?

in the context of my last post, it was just to get last place. 🙂

 

after reading your post Kitty ...  I am going through some things at the moment. In the last month (every 3 weeks) I have had 2 sessions with my psychologist with schema therapy, and all at an introductory /  background level and so I recognise where things come from, but have not had a chance of putting things into practice. Take from that what you will...

Hi Wolfie,

I am sorry, I knew what you meant, but chose to see the sentence as stating you literally had stopped moving! & thought, you ought to know what would happen then... & wrote about that.

As for seeing your psychologist, & being at the beginning of this therapy, I want to encourage you to be patient & care for yourself. I've found the harder I try to get into what is happening, why & where the difficulties come from, the harder it is to gain those insights, so don't get discouraged & frustrated with yourself if you don't think you are getting anywhere.

Funny, that, because I have to remind myself of exactly the same thing because I have only sensed minor changes for all the work I'm doing in the gym, & how I've changed my diet. Fact is, according to some measures the exercise physiologist has done, I am making progress. I really struggle appreciating that this is a slow process, so I appreciate the measures I will have her take from time to time.

It's not so easy charting progress with a psychological therapy. It seems to me, if we are able, we need to monitor how we are feeling, about ourselves, how intense are the problems we camet to have treatment for, whether our outlook looks brighter,as the weeks & months go by.

I wish you all the best, that things will become easier to deal with soon.

Hello beautiful people,

 

Ive been a bit slow, somewhat like a snail, slowly inching my way towards the finish line and taking out first…ooops or is it last place to take up residence inside the walls of this thread after overtaking mmMeKitty…..I guess I’m winning now, because I’m last..😁.

 

Hugs everyone….🤗.

Hello Grandy!

Wolfie, do I follow the music or play musical chairs?

Or if you, Grandy, like the music, we can have a dance, maybe?

It 'll keep us warm....

Hugzies everyone

using cloak of invisibility ... behind you again

Creeping around so no one will hear me. 

People & Wolfie keep sneaking around I'm going to bump into someone, sooner rather than later....Why haven't I thought to string some fairy lights through the branches of all these wonderful forest trees? Why haven't I thought to set up infrared & heat detectors?

I don't know; cats don't like bumping into things, living beings, or even bumping one paw against another. We like getting through gaps or over anything in our way without disturbing a single hair. So why haven't I thought to rig up all sorts of detectors to augment my very sensitive whiskers, & know precisely where everyone is at every moment when they are near me

How confounding is that?! [LRC appears to be bowled over, now lying with paws all up in the air, searching for the great unknowable mysteries of the universe]

I feel like I'm coming last today - & I don't like it!

 

One of those days *sigh* whenI didn'teven stand still, but went backwards.

 

I wish this game had a prize...

*     Flair

 

Oh blast,

I'm still last.

I will send up a flair.

Is anyone out there?

Am I to be forever last,

Left alone & outcast?

Sometimes talking

To a stranger 

Is better than talking

To no-one.

Oh folly, poor me,

I must invent company,

Or talk to birds & bees,

Or to all these lovely trees.

I listen to what they say,

But can't understand anyway.

So, it's not communication;

It's a natural distraction,

Which gets me through,

Until I talk to you.
