@amiablePeace77
Balanced.
Which does not mean it is what I want.
But maybe what I need? Do not have a quick answer right now :)
Time will say 
"Consider each solution individually and weigh its advantages and disadvantages."
@amiablePeace77
I forgot to say that I love your picture of the "gansos" [Google translate that word from Spanish into English and let me know what you found] at the introduction. Or maybe they are "cisnes" [same with Google translator]? 
@ThankYouForLettingMeTryingToHelp.
The word is Flamencos
(ENG-Flamingos)
@ThankYouForLettingMeTryingToHelp I agree. They are beautiful whatever they are!
@adventurousBranch3786
Yes, they are 
Characteristics of secure attachment include:
Trusting that others will be there in ones time of need and actively participating in helping oneself.
@ThankYouForLettingMeTryingToHelp Hi I think that gansos are called geese in english and cisnes are called swans.

I believe that balance is the key to everything in life. It makes sense to me focussing on what you need as focussing on what you want but cannot get can make it hard.
@amiablePeace77
I agree:
Balance is the key to everything in life.
It makes sense focussing on what you need
because
focussing on what you want but cannot get
can make it hard.
@ThankYouForLettingMeTryingToHelp
Very wise words ![]()

How was this week for you, did you have any big ups or downs or was life more balanced? My girlfriend left on a camping trip at the beginning of the week, my insurance company forgot that I had my current car and had my old car on their books. That was the downs. She called me yesterday, just because she could. And I finally got the insurance company to realize that I now have a new car.
@Offmytrack
2 bad and 2 good. Hope your girlfriend as a nice trip and that youre not feeling too lonely without her, being separated can be tough. Remember you can always come here if you need some company. 
Glad everything with the insurance turned out well and good thing that nothing happened in between.
@amiablePeace77 She came back happy. I spent the weekend with her, it was all good. She got evacuated (due to the fire) on Sunday, to my house. She told me she loves me and will always love me.
@amiablePeace77 Rough week health wise. A bit frustrated because for the first time I can't push through and get everything done. I'm weak,tired,etc, not my usual self. However I know this pass. I just need to do what's necessary and wait.
Hi @mutter3
sounds like the same kind of week I had. You seem alittle more clear headed than me. Im being told day by day. Easy for them to say. Wishing you a good day and good vibes.
Forgot to say love the flamingos. Thank you Peace
@shyCat542. I love them too!
@shyCat542
Sometimes there is nothing left than taking it day by day but it's still challenging. Hope next week will be much better for you. 
@shyCat542 This week will be better for both of us❤
@mutter3
mutter, hope things will get better soon, maybe just take it easy for some time and get enough rest.
@amiablePeace77 Thank you for your kind words. This week will be better!
