    Just thought I’d share. I had my tooth out today. Went to the shop for painkillers and I saw the pupil that left in summer. He did say hello. I was able to talk to him. The piece that was missing was renewed in me. I am so pleased to have seen him. To know he’s ok and is enjoying college. He said hello to me

    Anita I know my sleep pattern is poor and to be honest it has been for a while. Longer then i care to admit. I love to read a good uplifting book and have a soak in the bath. However, I am really bad at just being i am constantly thinking what i need to do (have to do)! I think maybe i need to address this balance too and let go of things I no longer need (emotional, mental and Physical clutter).

    Sorry my mind just happened to wander and then it was out here! I guess I’m using the sight to help me be still and move forward in other areas.

    Thanks again Anita x

    Dear perfect, you deserve so much better. You deserve someone who is true to you and only you.

    As to why he behaves like That, because he can! He seems to think he can text and not text and it’s ok. He is using the carrot and the stick. Dangling contact and then going away. I think you need to find the inner strength and say no more. I’m worth more.

    Be strong x

    Thank you Anita for that. I do need sleep and to rest. As for the what next…. I’m exploring different options. I guess I need to take one day at a time x remember that tomorrow is another day

    The losses have been varied the first loss I remember was aunt who died overseas in Canada, then my nana, gran. Various other family members. I lost my rabbit when I was 13 killed by two dogs, my cousin was murdered by her dad. Then I lost my best friend he died in a accident nearly ten years ago. Then I lost my tortoise George.

    I’ve had a house that I’ve had to fight for. Relationship I had to walk away from. Jobs I had to fight in and for.

    My husband and my little girl are the positives. My family parents and brother are great. Dad I am still worried about which is normal.

    As you can I’ve had a variety of experiences. So this recent feeling is odd. Hope this makes sense. I am coming up to ten years of the loss of my best friend but I firmly see the blessing in the time we had together. All out there now x

    Thank you Peter and Anita both your responses have given me food for thought. I have been thinking and yes their has been alot of loss.

    The thing is I have over the years had alot of losses. In a variety of ways. I just don’t why it would send me off balance.

    Home is great and I adore being a mum and being a wife. The work thing is feeling empty! and driving me crazy

    Really interesting post for me I picture Scarlett o’hara in Gone with the wind saying tomorrow is another day and the image of her saying as God is my witness. For me I guess what mantra I always use and the kids I work would say I say a lot is just keep swimming or let it go .

    Anita sorry it’s been a while. I am far easier on other people. I always look for the positive in other people, as the people I deal with on a day to day basis bring a lot of stuff with them. I look at the barriers to learning, life and hopefully support them in their journey to connect and learn. For some they leave us as more rounded individuals and with qualifications they need to.

    As for me I have a good family, however my mum is very critical everything from my hair, weight and anything else she see as me doing wrong. Over the years I have believed her now I’m more rounded as a person and see what my gut tells me. However when I’m very tired my mums voice / critic is harder to silence.

    My mum means we’ll just she hasn’t the filter of compassion at times. I on the other hand are a deeply sensitive soul who attracts people who need to talk. I’m a good active listener and to be honest I’ve always been involved in caring roles.

    I do love being here though as I feel as though I can connect and that’s been a while.

    My expectations of others are at work I look for the best in people. I encourage to be the best they can be. As for me I’m hard on myself I know that this is a result of a highly protective family, who had high expectations. In essence there isn’t anything wrong it that but it means when you fail it’s seen as failure rather then an experience to learn from.

    i do care a lot about what others think of me, and over the years have been working on how I see myself. As I say my life experience I use to teach others, as I use the negative experiences to bring a solution.

    thank you for helping me reflect.

    Remember where’s there’s tea theirs hope

    But the sun always surfaces. The rest of my message disappeared.

    I’ve always found it strange how things can be a blessing and a curse. I’ve had a number of bad experiences that I use a teaching point I guess. I often see the positive in the negative. Not always when in the midst of a storm

    Hello Anita, thank you for saying hello. Let’s see I’m always looking after others I work in a school with students who have emotional and behavioural issues. I’m naturally a carer and always have been it’s my greatest strength and my weakness. I attract people in me who need to talk positive and the negative.

    my mum says if I had a ten pound note and it was my last I’d give it away if I felt someone needed it more then me. I do not see this as a problem most of the time. However it can be draining sometimes, which I do recognise. The bit about me is that sometimes I get lost and my roles as mum, teacher etc are there. I love being these things but sometimes I need to be just me as I am now – when I’m on my own without expectation.

    i know my expectations are self imposed unless it’s work when I know generally what I need to do even here I do a lot of different roles within work. I have expectations of me and I’d say more realistic expectations of others.

    Im seeing being here as me time, where I can connect with others. I use to visit a site years ago which was magic a place to talk and just be. It ceased to exist although I do keep in touch with some people who are now friends off line

    I just wanted to say unfortunately once the school year starts I become work obsessed both in and out of work. I too find it hard to switch off. I love the kids I teach but I work in a school where they have lots of issues. It’s hard to let go, even though I say it a lot at work. I’m the natural pacifier but …. I too need to let go. Have you had any luck with this?
