Henry's Landing Strip & Hangar

[HenryX]

Hi @Dimity 

and others here

Thank you for that reminder and reassurance @Dimity of the personal reinforcement of writing our thoughts and also having a record of them for ourselves and others.

Another consideration that was on my mind in the last few minutes was why I like to include other members in my posts and encourage others to do so, particularly on this thread. The answer to that is:

• There are a number of people whose company I enjoy and who I think and feel may connect fairly easily with me. However, the list is definitely not exclusive and others are most welcome to participate also, at any time and at whatever level with which they feel at ease.
• This is a place into which I feel comfortable inviting other members.
• It is a place where I and others can share interests, activities and successes without feeling that those expressions may cause others distress. Everyone is here freely and by choice.
• I can express my concerns and issues, that cause me distress, as I would like others also to be at ease in doing. Again without causing distress to others, who may not wish to be unsettled by them.
• Other members can discuss with each other, and me if they choose, whatever is on their mind and freely (within Guidelines) discuss any topics that may be of either interest and, or concern.
• Each member participating in the thread also has a record of thoughts previously written down, as per @Dimity's note. This is one of the biggest reasons why I am so protective of the style of this thread and also the thread on "Food and Beverage Choices .......".

There may be, and very likely are, other reasons why I, and I hope others, enjoy participating in the thread.

With Best Wishes

Yes indeed @HenryX so many ways to appreciate the forums... and new ones arising all the time

I'm grateful you include me dear @HenryX , thank you 🙏

Hello to all here 👋

I look forward to contributing when I'm able to...

I can't sleep, I came back as i thought i might catch you @HenryX but it seems I won't. 

I read your post, something I wasn't able to do earlier due to my headspace being overwhelmed with its own thoughts. 

This is wonderful news Henry!!!

"Because of the severity of the depression that I experienced, it had been suggested that I may require to take the anti-depressant medication for the rest of my life. It seems, now, that I may not have to, which is one of the goals toward which I reach."

You must feel pretty chuffed? You should. You've worked hard. I'm happy to hear this. 

I had to call my brother tonight and suggest he comes to NSW if he is to see our father. It may mean he gets stuck here due to borders but I had to put the logistics aside and be truthful that if he waits he may miss out.

Heartbreaking Henry, I don't want to join the "grief" club. Wish you were here...

Take care dear Henry 🙏

Hello @Anastasia 

Thank you so very much for having written your note to share your position right now.

I believe that I can understand that issue of "head-space" to which you refer. Simply not being able to think or to interact with others by which we might add more complexity to the already over-whelming sensations being experienced.

And then, thankfully, having the peace and a short time of clarity, when we are able to write our thoughts and wishes, even if briefly.

The fact that you have been able to convey to your brother, the situation and, as you say, the logistics, means that appropriate decisions can be made. I recall that I was very pleased that I was able to let my cousin, who is Mum's niece, with whom there was a very special bond, know in time for her to visit and still enjoy some special time.

I am also, as I have stated, so very fortunate to have been able to share the time with Mum that I did. No apologies for mentioning Mum, as that is the frame of reference through which I believe that I can connect with your feelings at the present time.

Thank you again, for the positive sentiments and affirmation that you have offered with regard to my own recent progress and developments.

I am certainly pleased to be able to share with you the 'walk' or just sitting, as appropriate, at the present time and connect in any way that we can in this forum environment, in mutual support.

With Care, Concern and Best Wishes

Thank you for your kind words @HenryX 

I'm sorry you can relate...

My father was transported to emergency early hours, I am with my mother sitting on the edge of our seats waiting...

I hope you don't mind me tagging @Appleblossom @Emelia8 @NatureLover @Eve7 to let them know

I made Mum and I a cuppa. She had a sip and said "is yours hot?"

I forgot to boil it!!!

Take two was hot.

Thanks @Anastasia for your reply.

Amusement in difficult circumstances with the cup of tea.

We understand each other's pain through that which we experience or have experienced ourselves. With you in spirit.

Honoured that you feel comfortable letting other members know of your situation through this thread.

Care, Concern and Support

Sitting with you online.

I have done that before with a cuppa. 

Glad you could see funny side amongst the pain.

I've popped back after work as I saw this in my email notifications, @Anastasia 😞

I notice you haven't been back online since then, so I'm fearing bad news 😞

How awful to have to sit at home and wait. No wonder you forgot to boil the kettle. Has there been any news? 💔

Hi @HenryX , thanks for having me on your thread...
