anitaParticipantWhat a delightful thread!
Very well said, Thomas: “Many times, people talk but aren’t really communicating well”. Later on, I’ll look for a story to share before the New Year ✨✨ ✨ 🙏 Anita
anitaParticipantDear Alessa:
So glad to read that you and your son slept through the night and that you finally got your medication 💫 ✨ 😊
Thank you for the dog tips and education, much appreciated. Your explanation about tone of voice makes it clear to me, and I believe I can do better at it because of your explanation 🙏
The humorous chewing tales makes me feel less alone 🙏
Thank you for wishing me well in regard to my cold (or is it a mild flu, I wonder)
Thank you for all your support (including on the other thread a little while earlier). You are a uniquely kind and positively special person, a blessing to have around 🙏🤍🙏!
🤍Anita

I’ve been under the weather for days now, somewhat sick, but hoping for recovery soon!
Your Friend, Anita
anitaParticipantDear Tee:
Still under the weather, took some pills. I am using the 2nd computer after having received a replacement for the chewed-up cable. (the 1st is broken)
Yes, your advice and input are very much with me 🙏🙏🙏 I want to review previous communications for more things for me to apply.
I love your posts on the other thread: Tee calling it like it is! Tee will not be told to be quiet and obey! No, not Tee ✨🙌🥳🌟👏💫🎈
This is why, as I said before, you’re my hero!

anitaParticipantDear Confused:
As I read this morning (using a computer at this time) our recent conversation, I was wondering about this part:
You wrote: “I have already told her many many things that might not be true”- what things?
You also wrote: “I already told her that this version of me is not the normal one, I usually am a very fun person to be around… That is the part of me that gets activated when in love/infatuation and he is very lovable.”-
My thoughts today (easier said than done, of course): integrate both versions, become One (rather than version 1 OR 2). In other words, don’t reject the ‘not normal’ version of you.
Try to meditate on the above a bit, will you?
🤍 Anita
anitaParticipantHilarious, Thomas. No, I don’t remember reading this Zen Story before. It shows why it’s so important to check assumptions. Or even better, to ask before assuming.
Thank you 😊
I hope other members enjoy this as well.

anitaParticipantCorrection: Candy cane’s, not just any candy
anitaParticipantThank you for updating me, me (meme, ha-ha).
How was your Christmas? I didn’t celebrate at all. I remember that years ago you handed people 🍬 , in a shopping mall.
Here, I am getting over a cold (I hope). Didn’t go on my daily walk. Do you still exercise?
😨 Anita
anitaParticipantAt least in theory?
anitaParticipantWell, is that part of you that you described, is he.. lovable?
anitaParticipantOf course, you have a valid point, that she’s all the way in Taiwan.
No more girls for a long while, you say.
How 🤔 about online dating (of local women), no dating but just talking to local- enough women who are interested in a serious relationship.. Just talking, checking compatibility before meeting for the first time?
Later, when you’re ready.
(I think we talked about online dating, but I forgot how you feel about it.
✨️ Anita
anitaParticipantDear me:
I get confused sometimes , not knowing if she’s being cold to you, let’s say on text, or it’s just that the two of you talked on the phone a lot the day before, and she just needed a break (as everyone does), and didn’t feel the need to engage in text the next day.
Maybe she was busy.. and you are very sensitive to any sign of rejection that may not at all be rejection..?
anitaParticipantThinking about you, Alessa, and about you, Tee.
You were right, Tee when you suggested yesterday, or the day before that I don’t take a walk. I feel worse today, and panicky a bit earlier, then I thought (because of what you shared repeatedly) that I was catastrophizing (which either created or increased the panic). I then thought about your recent post about breathing.. And here I am, not panicking at the moment.
One moment at a time.. shhh…
🤍💙 Anita
anitaParticipantYou are very welcome, Mollie!
As far as why it’s happening for us I think that it’s 🤔 about fear and how we respond to fear, well, for me it is, fear and the desire for comfort.
Like right now, it’s my 3rd or 4th day of having a cold, but today, it’s worse, and unlike previous days 😨, I am afraid to go on my daily long walk because I feel weak and not steady and afraid I’ll fall. Now, having a ROUTINE is very important 👌 to my mental health, to my sense of stability and well-being.
So, I’ve been feeling scared 😱 right before I answered you, and then, now, I am not scared because I find contentment in answering you.
In the past, feeling scared like this, I would overeat. Right before I sat down, I poured myself vegetable juice (60 cal) because it has lots of vit C, which I am sure that I need, because I truly need it.
It’s also looking ahead, which I didn’t do before- if I eat cake now. I may feel good for a moment, but I will feel bad for a long time.
So. I am writing to you and drinking healthy juice. It’s about choosing what I think and what I do moment by moment. No good choice is too small, little choices count.
In regard to losing weight, I’ve done keto, still do low carb.
Any of this helps?
😱=> 🙂 Anita
anitaParticipantWhat’s a “dry text” 🤔 vs a.. wet text?
