Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
askye, since I don't know if you deleted that post because it was meant for a different thread or because you were hurting in some way, please know that I am thankful to have you in my life. I am glad whenever I see a post from you. When you come here to share the difficult parts of life, I am glad you have this safe place to share them. When you come to tell about you triumphs, I am happy and proud of you. When you simply talk about work, or your family, or cats, I am simply glad to be part of your life.

I honestly don't remember all of what I posted.
I deleted partly because i keep feeling like I'm over sharing and everyone is cringing any time I post something.
Right now I don't even think I deserve kind words. I don't know this is just a really intense experience and while I thought fighting against self sabatoge with work was hard, fighting not to run from myself is even harder.

I feel very confident in saying that no one is cringing, although in that extremely unlikely event, there are plenty of people who want to know what is going on with you and want you to have this space to share.

The status is NOT quo.
What Vortex said, askye. We are here for each other, even when "here" is hard.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
No one's cringing, askye! We care about you and we want to know what's going on.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I want to hear from people when they are hurting - even if all I can do is nod from afar I feel good that there is a safe place to let things out.
In more cat talk, we finally put my cancer kitty on an appetite stimulant. the chemo was sometimes upsetting his belly and he was getting too careful about eating - which was helping the heartburn. The vet says he isn't really too skinny, but he has no extra weight on him. 13 pounds was good - 11 is just too thin. Happily the appetite stimulant seems to be working well - and no barfng 24 hours after chemo this time. Foods that he had been rejecting are being eaten again.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh, good news for your kitty, Beth. May that continue.
And yes, goodness, askye, you're one of our own and we want to know how you're doing, even if, as others have said, all we can do is support you from here. I'm not the only one who worries when we don't hear from one of us, so don't hesitate to post.
