Hey finding. It looks like it's going to rain... Did you have a good time swimming last night?

We never made it, which was disappointing, but we did all hang out with the flowers and the evening breezes eating ice cream and catching up with each other. It is supposed to rain, but nothing so far here.

Oh, that sounds nice!!! I did some mindful breathing last night in bed!!

Hey, were you able to relax??

I think so, I fell asleep halfway through!!!

That's OK, didn't you need to sleep?

If you want to keep meditating and not sleep, you could try a sitting position. Try this next time: after some mindfulness breaths, very gently place your thumb to your middle finger on each hand and keep the breathing practice going....You can also increase the count a bit, to deepen your breathing. Another step is to count to 2 between each in breath and out breath, to make a completely empty space between. In time you can lengthen the empty space a little too.

Yeah, I did need some sleep. I dreamt about horses last night:) That's cool, I'll try it later. a house in my area got broken into last night..

Oh, I'm sorry, that must be frightening. Was anyone home? That happens in my neighborhood too.

Horses are awesome. They can be about empowerment and balancing the will. I have a white one that visits me sometimes.

Yeah, the old man who lives there was home on his own. I think he was in bed when they came and they stole all his money and his walking stick(!!!) and his glasses(maybe to stop him from getting away... ) Hope they don't come here...

I dreamt about the black and white one I used to ride, and she kept jumping over me and I was scared but she never hurt me.

Horses are so motivating to me. I want to get up and go with them when I see one......

That is disgusting about those theives. They generally don't aim for difficult targets. I don't think they would mess with you because you could call the police so quickly. If you are worried though, would your granny loan you her dog just for a few days, under the circumstances? Or, would your aunt or cousin stay with you, or you stay with them?

I think I'll be ok. If anyone messes with me they'll get hairspray in the face. it's still a little scary though..

I love horses too:) I miss horseriding...

That's a great plan! Yes, that part of life is scary, but we do have an instinctual side of us that helps us protect ourselves. If you tune into that instead of your fear, you'll do much better. My cats are ready any second to fight, and equally ready to totally relax and bliss out.

Do they fight much? Last summer a stray cat came to our house and I kept feeding him because he was really starved but the rest of my family hated him. I called him Johnny because he looked like a Johnny. Everytime we went outside he would be lying on the mat miaowing to get rubbed. but then he kept getting sick and he had a broken jaw so we brought him to the vets and it turned out he had cat aids and then they had to put him down. There's a cat that looks the very same as him hanging around today...

Maybe it's Johnny Jr! I wish there was a way to teach cats about the road and about diseases and stuff. My cats are both rescues. The older one will beat up on the younger if I don't keep a close eye on her. I have to assert myself as alpha cat, then she behaves. I guess it's an animal thing. She has had a hard life and may need a long time to really believe she will get fed every day and doesn't need to compete about it.

I wish that too.. It's so quiet here without a cat. All my cats were rescues too, apart from 1. It would be kinda cool if another stray turned up now, then I could adopt it. . . hmmmm. I remember one time I had two rescue cat's at the same time, kitty and noah, and they were brother and sister, but noah used to always fight with kitty and bite her but she always used to forgive him and she always licked his ears for him!! She was a special cat. What colour are your babies?

Grey and white, and black and white; both long hairs! Shhhhh they are playing right now. I'm crossing my fingers it stays that way.....

hi blossom! How was your night?

Hey Star! I had a crappy night. I was feeling sad but I couldn't cry so I listened to some really really depressing music and then I cried a little and then I did some mindful breathing and that helped me fall asleep. How was your night?

oh that stinks, well at least you got some sleep. I had a crappy night too but whatever it's over now.

Are you having a good day so far? I'm having a crappy day.

why are you having a crappy day?

I'm going to try paint a picture of my abandoned self now:(

okay, good luck with that

It's just really quiet here and I feel alone and then I can't get this really depressing song out of my head. I just have a really horrible feeling inside me that something bad is going to happen. I feel kinda scared.

Maybe you could turn on some music or something, it'll be less quiet and hopefully get the depressing song out of your head.
