I would like to grow deeper inwards, walk more passionately on my Spiritual, Holistic & Volunteering path... The skills I would like to develop are : finer nuances of Photography, learn to play guitar & polish my writing skills... I am not much interested in WHYS rather WOWS are what excite me. So I chose to walk & learn as I embark on any path... 😊😎😁
very nice, liked that thanks
Thanks 🌹

@amiablePeace77
I'm sad. My freind, Joe, who my whole family knew from the 60's and I have been friends with him and his wife, died from cancer. It is very sad that Joe is gone. He was so loving, kind, caring and such a fine man. Joe's cancer had spread all over most of his body and it was just bad. I am glad that Joe is no long dealing with all that. it is very hard and painful way to die. (I remember taking care of my father when he had cancer and was dying from it. HIs cancer also, had spread to his whole mid area, just like Joe's had).
I have 2 more close friends that will not be with us much longer, with their cancer. I believe my best friend, Bre, will be the last of these people to die, as she is in the mid stages of dementia now. Already, Bre and I can no longer hold a regular conversation, of course. I know how this goes too. My mother was in the end stages of dementia, within a few short weeks of being 90 yrs old, and covid got her and she had already had a DNR since the 80's.
I love people, care about them, want them to be alright and happy. In loving anc caring, it is all about what they need, or want. It has nothing to do with us or what we may feel or want. When you love deeply, it just comes out and goes into things for them.
@Amelia2324
I am so sorry for your losses, hugs. It must be so rough to go through this knowing that others will follow
What are you doing to cope with loss?
@amiablePeace77
Thank you Ami.
I have always coped with death losses by being grateful that the loved one is no longer suffering. I also have my faith and beliefs with that, that provide a way of support that is not possible to explain without going into the religious aspects of it. From it also comes lots of love for others in all of life.
@amelia2324 I understand what it’s like to watch lose someone to cancer. It takes a toll on you, trying to remain upbeat for them, while watching the disease destroy the person you love. You are obviously a caring and nurturing person. Try to take some time in each day, and take care of you.
Thank you dapper, I appreciate your reply to me and your understanding of exactly how this is. You must have gone through this yourself. If so, I am sorry for that. Thanks.

enlightened How would you like to grow at this point in your life?
I want to be a professional person with a PhD in architecture and who have somebody to exchange love.

I don't know, I just want to read a great amount of books in different fields.
enlightened What would you like to know more about
I would like to know more about myself
@DinaElwy
Nice goals DinaElwy, I find reading gives us so many more perspectives to see the world but also ourselves.
I would like to be at peace with my self, that’s an area I’d like to grow. I would like to learn the skill of talking myself off the cliff when my anxiety escalates. I would like to learn more about making peace with my past, and living in the present.
