Traumatic Experiences Community Daily Check-in Tuesday 20th February 2018
Hello lovely "trauma family"
Its good to be here with you again. I'll leave the first words to that loveable bear, Winnie the Pooh. "What day is it." asked Pooh. "Its today, squeaked Piglet. "My favourite day, " said Pooh.
Thinking how often we wish that the day was over, wish that things were different, wish that we didn't have to deal with this, and wish that it had never happened. And some days are just tough and we are glad to let them go. Other days may not be so bad... but our wishing it was different may be preventing us from just being in the present, and we may miss enjoying a special moment. So I'm suggesting that you make today your favourite day... that you challenge yourself to enjoy a special moment... or to decide to do somehting that is dear to your heart. and at the end of the day you reflect on this.
When you challenge yourself you grow
You develop confidence .. You learn.
For some a challenge may be to climb a mountain. For others it may be to learn how to use a computer programme,cook a meal, play an instrument.
Whatever interests you, challenge yourself to learn it, live it , do it! Doe Zanatmata.
How is your day going? How did you challenge yourself today? Or pop in to say hi! Love to hear form you. This is your space and a safe place. x
Oh well.

@rozie Hey Rozie, I love your Winnie The Pooh Quotes and stories and they always bring a smile to my face whilst leaving me thinking and pondering over lifes lessons 
Am popping in just to say Hello you and to everyone out there and to leave a little ray of sunshine from winnie himself.
Its been a tough day and one where life is teaching me a thing or two about listening, acquiring new skills, inner reflection, and taking words of wisdom from the wise lol I am hoping tomorrow is a much lighter day where I can smile more and not feel that no matter how hard I try it will never be good enough so yes even us folk have our rough days too but you know what when they happen you dig deep and you carry on because we have all come to far to give up now!! 
@Rain45
Whoa! You
@BeeLeigh I hope to see you with a new pic today too, its world stand up to bullying day see my feed lol And new name yes and was getting mixed with with another listener and you all knew me as Rain anyway. Lots of pink T shirts I hope to see :) And there will be an alert going out for lots of events taking place today and Karaoke is now open :)
@Rain45 I'm sorry to hear you were having a tough time afew days ago. I admire your resolve to dig deep; to learn from it; and to carry on. What an awesome friend you are being to yourself!
@SpruceRaven You know something Raven, in life the only person you can truly count on sometimes is yourself but also we can count of those who truly love us and care for us and those people have a special part of our hearts so when those people come along its good to hold on to those too however tempting it can be to push them away sometimes. Life has its ups and downs for all of us and with each life lesson we all learn and we all grow and if we stopped learning, life would get really boring lol
@Rain45 Thank you Rain. Yes I very much agree with all that ypu've said here. Just sometimes hars to see....and it has veen amazing tp find 7 Cups and have a safe place to claim wverything. Incl messy ranting and awkwardness 🙄😄. Thank you so much for your thought ful response and for connecting with me.

@Rain45 i really don't have any deep connwctions in the outer worls. I just don't seem to be anyone's cup of tea. So i need to find a way to bw okay with not having that support or connection and kust be okay on my own. I k ow people and i teract with thrm ...i am someone they might ask to help thrm vut I am not part of anyone's inner circle.
@Rain45
Hugs, Rain. You have created an amazing safe haven for all of us. It is as close to being perfect as anyone could possibly imagine.
I can absolutely say that you have made a difference in my life. I have learned so much, connected with courageous, strong people and am consistently reminded how fortunate I am to feel such passion about my chosen path.
Safe hugs 💛 from one perfectionist to another 😉❤️🐕

Aw ww thanks Rain for the little ray of sunshine... makes me smile... and of course that bear is a favourite one. I wholeheartedly agree that we've come this far so to dig deep as you say and take one step at a time is the best we can do. Thank you for your words of wisdom and hoping its a better day for you. Hugs. x
@rozie Thank you Rozie and going to leave one of my favs for you, the underdog lol
