Dear Subdued,
Thank you so very much for your powerful and heartfelt post. There are times when we do not have the words or the thoughts to share with people. There are times when we don't know how to help ourselves let alone anyone else.
Your deep feelings for others comes through loud and clear. You may not have the words to write, but you do have a soul full of caring.
Would it help you to light a candle if you have one, and you could imagine that light going out to everyone who is hurting. Or you could open a window and look out, sending wishes of peace to all.
You may also need to find a way to let go of the burden of other people's pain. Listen to some music, go for a walk, phone a friend, read a book, find ways to comfort yourself.
There are many people who find this time of year to be a struggle. Please think that it is wonderful we all have this site to come to when we feel like there is no where else to go.
Maybe it is time today dear Subdued to stick to the Social Zone and join in with a few cheerful chats or to turn off the screen and do some self care.
Before you close the screen, you might like to Google Cats and Christmas Trees. There are some very funny clips to watch! I'm not making light of your feelings no anyone else's pain. I understand the pain. Sometimes we need to look after ourselves as well.
Cyber hugs to you if you need them, cheers form Dools xxx
