Well, that LAST THREAD filled up much faster - so glad so many of us are finding this a place of comfort. How lucky we are to have so many of us on standby to hold our fears and worries, so that we can rest.

No questions asked, no solutions given, just the offer of a place to lay down our burdens. All are welcome.

Jnot been pack for a while but come ming on here as feeling rather on edge. Between my bullying boss, my work and my mother with dementia who isn’t sleeping I am .. demented, getting no time to decompress and on edge. Would you please hold things this evening for me, so I can face tomorrow with compassion and clarity and the focus I need? Thank you

@Waitymatey that’s a heavy load you are carrying- anyone would struggle with that. For tonight, we’ve got you. You just dump it all here and we’ll sit with it. You go cozy in, shut your eyes, and breathe. We’ve got you.

Good to see you, @Waitymatey

This thread has been quiet for a while, so hoping that means that things are going better for more of us.

@2018SoFarSoGreat - yes, I think the Goid work done by the Gpod people on this thread really makes a difference. I cannot explain it, I just know if I lay down a burden here I awake able to bear my load once again and usually I carry it better. So thank you

@2018SoFarSoGreat how are you? Things are better for me in many ways but remain tricky in others. Thank you for this thread 💕

@2018SoFarSoGreat such a comfort. Your thread is so cosy that I often think of it when I need to bed my worries and rest. A better summer is good, long may it last for you.
