Political news annoys me, so I wont listen to news all day. Sometimes its the same news on every channel.

I sent her a little message in gift boxes but hope she feels better real soon! :'(

You sent these items to your friend Frieda!

I once was given a bingo scratchcard for my birthday. I won another bingo scratchcard and then from that one $10.00. I took the ten and bought myself something I wanted, I can't remember what because it was a long time ago.

Happy Luminaire and Happy New Years to you all! I love each and EVERY one of you and I am so grateful to you all for your kindness, your acceptance of me and your generosity. Most of all, I am blessed by your love. Thank you so much for the outpouring of your love, I spent a great deal of this morning in tears of happiness as I read each note, opened each gift box and admired every little gift you sent to me as your way of lifting my spirits. I have said it over and over and over...

[b][color=red]THE LAIR BEARS IS THE SINGLE BEST FEATURE OF SUBETA[/COLOR][/B] simply because of the quality of the people who reside there and the love they have for each other.

I've been having a worsening case of the blahs. I think it's a combination of age, the weather, Seasonal Affective Disorder, untreated ADHD, and something my physician calls Long-COVID recovery. I just lost any energy, stamina and desire to draw, play music, write, clean the house, go outside and play my computer games...SUBETA included. It started in November with Francine's hospitalization. I didn't lose my will to live or my joy, just my executive function and concentration.

Judy talked to me last night and asked me to name one thing that made me happy recently and I thought about the little birds in my yard. I have gold finches, house finches, crown sparrows, little things that I love. They make me happy. The more I thought about each and every one of these small creatures and the simple things they do, the more I thought about what brings me joy.

For me, joy is found in the simple things, a cup of Earl Grey tea, writing a letter to my mom with a quill pen and an ink bottle or making something with my paws. Simple joy comes from relationships with friends, family, or interacting with nature.

You all are part of that joy. You are my friends, my family. We've been family for over a decade now. Joy isn't found in elaborate possessions, fantastical journeys, interpersonal power or politics. Joy is found in love.

The sun was out yesterday and today, things are looking up. I've been cleaning yesterday and today, I baked cookies last night. ( Yes...I can bake, I often say I'm deathly afraid of the kitchen, but I can bake cookies, they don't require any fancy power tools like turnip twaddlers or cheese graters) I'm going to be OK. And I know enough and have a strong support team here at home that I know were to get help when I need it.

Again, Thanks for all your love, your support, your care and kindness. I love you all and I will be back in form soon.

I'm going to have to change my HA soon too...I look cold.

: thank you for the Orange Furry Winter Vest, the Icy Furry Winter Mittens, the Purple Furry Winter Mittens the Purple Furry Winter Vest and the White and Grey Furry Winter Vest. : Thank you for the Garden of Bones. : Thank you for the Buddy Gold Account. : Thank you for the Torra Flower, the Sweetheart Cookie, the White Babble Flower and the Pie Scratchcard

I'm very glad to hear from you! Glad you enjoyed the gifts ^^

I so agree with you on "THE LAIR BEARS IS THE SINGLE BEST FEATURE OF SUBETA" very friendly and generous <3

yea weather wise it has been warmer than usual here but with lots of snow and rain. I longed for some sun lol Looks like we're gonna get some (yay) with the usual cold were gonna get (nay) in Feb lol

I am so thankful for your friendship and so glad you are here! The blahs are so hard to get rid of. I pray you get back to healthy and well!

... what a wonderful post and i totally agree with you.. the time of the year is tricky, we need sun.. i was thinking about what thing would make me happy if i should choose one.. i can't answer that at the moment, but time will help me with that... 💔 it's good that you have a strong background that stands by you and supports you.. that's important.. and as you say our bears are the best family we have here, especially if you don't have the background to help you ... even if it's "just" a game, i don't think some people here realize how important their help, consolation, encouragement or patience is for some and also I am grateful for our little family.. thank you for waking me up to (again) look at the small things in life.. I won't send you a box, but all the positive energy I still have and I hope it's enough for the next one good and exciting step... 🍀

I so agree, I couldnt have said it better. "You all are part of that joy. You are my friends, my family. We've been family for over a decade now. Joy isn't found in elaborate possessions, fantastical journeys, interpersonal power or politics. Joy is found in love."

Part of my blah is medicated when I come into the lair, and I have tried to come every day. Because even if i dont chat much sometimes it okay, we all go through it.

HUGS so glad to see you come into the lair, and I agree with you so much. As our little family here closes in, and hug each other and support each other through good and bad time.

... u know most m' here in the background... but since the worst case m' in a deep hole singing the blues... all is ok, time will help... I read all the postings, funny, interested, exited and familiar and is not nice to jump in with dark clouds above the head... all is ok... hugs... 👄

Whatever your mood come in and chat, thats what family is for. No one is required to be in a good mood, maybe coming here for chat will brighten your mood.

I was stationed at Fort Campbell, KY and then in West Germany before they took the Berlin wall down. I have traveled more since hubby retired than I did in the military, which isnt what usually happens. My bear is safe guarding my umbrella from wayward crabs coming in on the surf.

So are you getting a lot of snow there? Better crabs than jelly fish rolling in with the surf.

Thank you! hugs ❤
