Hi Helcat!

It brought a smile to my face to see you again! I remember hearing about a family emergency, and I am happy to hear things are getting easier now! Don’t feel badly, I understood, and once you were gaining strength back I can understand that the volume of messages in my other thread may have seemed overwhelming. I also respect you for knowing when is the right time for you to put your energy in other places rather than come to the thread at half battery.

Thank you for keeping certain topics in that other thread, it feels like the right time to peel away from that anchor. (all these ocean metaphors haha I don’t know where they came from “half mass” “anchor,” perhaps I am re-entering fully back into my body, Seaturtle body haha.

Also thank you for your comments on my surgery, it was a heavy process, especially newly single, so alone in the hospital was a bit traumatic. But I am far in to my recovery and just this morning did my first hot yoga class since surgery!! I have held off cause my core went through a lot, but I am so happy I waited and even happier that I got through the whole class (LOTS of sweat first time back haha) and hours later I am not still feeling good on the inside but it is a good way to remember to come back to my body to check on her.

If you would like, I could share some things that I’ve been learning from Buddhism and related Eastern philosophies?

I would love that!! (passes the microphone)
