@courteousNorth5140 
@Raveninthelabrynth
Thank you 😂 I guess I sent my request to get added two times, right? Sorry 😟
@courteousNorth5140 Nope hon you did fine. I added you to the tag list the other nite. I guess Bee used an olde tag list that didn't have your name on it yet to I sent that to call you here to a new days phost :)
@Raveninthelabrynth
Thank you for doing that 😊 well, sounds silly, but well, it was the right day for it somehow..
@courteousNorth5140 Yer alright now hon, an yer safe here.
Remember, the universe tends to unfold as it should.
Whose Listening?
Hurting, crying, screaming
Hiding all the pain
Listen! silence begs
Hear beyond the main
Needing, pleading, falling
Nothing left to gain
See the lights shadows cast
Behind the smiles trained
Reaching, thinking, moving
Hoping all in vain
Hear! The empty spaces
Just face… no mouth reigns
Hurting, crying, screaming
Growing not living
It curls and dies within.

@Maryleo
That's a powerful poem! You're a very good writer!! Is this how you're feeling today? ❤️
@KLM3278 Hej K hope alle is well for you. It's good to see you about
Hello @KLM3278,
www.abandonment.net/media_room_frame
Thank you for your comment about my poem. I guess writing the poem was a catharsis of sorts.
Writing helped improve my awareness of the range and depth of my feelings, I am learning to accept my feelings but also to take responsibility for my healing, through scripture, pray, mindfulness, exercise etc.
If you or anyone else are dealing with childhood trauma and would like some online self-help tools, then check the sites listed above.
I received these links from a phenomenal listener here on7cups, some of the material may be useful.
@Maryleo
Thank you for sharing! Scripture, praying and writing help me alot also. I hope you keep writing and sharing. BIG HUG
@Maryleo Very nice Mary :) Welcome, how are you doing today?
@Maryleo
Impressive and touching words... Keep writing 😊 thank you for sharing that
@courteousNorth5140 Hi North, Welcome. How are you doing today?
@Raveninthelabrynth
Thanks for asking 😊 feeling lazy and tired today... What about you?
@courteousNorth5140 Lazy but wide awake here lol
@Raveninthelabrynth
Well, being awake sounds good 😊 so, being lazy is a choice and that's perfectly fine
@courteousNorth5140 I take things as they come 
@Raveninthelabrynth
That's probably the best way 😊 and I absolutely agree with you on that, trying to accept things as they are
Hi @courteousNorth5140,
Thank you for the compliment and encouragement. Happy were able to find meaning in it.
@BeeLeigh
Having a lazy day, feeling like I should use that precious free day a bit better.... Otherwise I'm fine, I guess...
Happy Easter to all of you 😬
@courteousNorth5140
Lazy days are sometimes necessary!! Take that precious time of doing nothing and love the crap out of it cuz it might be a while before you get a break like that again lol! Also, I love the picture!! 😁💜
@BeeLeigh
Thank you 😊 yeah, I'm trying to see it as a necessary break, lazy days are really needed sometimes, good to order your thoughts
@courteousNorth5140
Lazy days are good self care days North 😊💜
I know my week has been difficult but I am looking forward to this weekend. I am home visiting my family. We have other family coming from out of town and everyone is coming together Sunday for Easter. It will be nice because many of us live far apart and only see each other on special occasions. Many years I have to work holidays so I am happy.
@ArianaMay
Awww, yay!! That's awesome to hear Ariana! My family is so big and so spread out, I always love when we come together for holidays! 😁💜
@ArianaMay That sounds awesome May Enjoy your Holy Day
hey hey!
today was awesome. Spent the whole day outside with my friend and enjoyed the sun :)
i am not really excited for the weekend - my family hasnt planned anything so it ll be just like a normal weekend (but with looots of food 
)
How is everyone doing? 
Take care everyone :)
@Hope3729 I'm so happy to hear you are having awesome days in the sun, revel in them
Doing awesome here, Thanks 
Last minute change of plans. I am going to Paris for the weekend 
@MaschaV Sounds Lovely. Bring us back some of their pasteries for the groupsiffin ye can lol
@Raveninthelabrynth I will :)
I am excited!
It's been a difficult week. This weekend I am doing an Easter egg hunt for my daughter before she goes to her dad's. That should be fun. Then the rest of the day I'll be by myself.
@RedHawk6547
We will keep you company!
@Compassion21 Hej Compassion, hope alle is well for you today
@RedHawk6547 Hugs Red, Enjoy the time you have well.
Today was great! I am in disbelief how many ok and even good days Ive had! While I know hard days will come again, good ones will come again too! I remember just losing hope and getting worse and worse for too long. I am happy to be alive and trying to make the best of it even if Im not completely where I want to be. I want to focus my energy on the one person I know I can count on besides myself; less time being sad about those whom I care about but choose not to talk to me. I watched a really emotional animea and listening to some music so which is bringing up alot of memories and emotions, just letting them come and realizing they are there and am ok with them, not letting myself get to down. So proud of all you strong people!
@Compassion21 We're proud of you too Compassionate
Ok folks, another long but awesome day
May you alle find some peace and happiness
*Raven bows, gets up an fly's away
Easter isn't happy for me, I wish it was, but it's not
