find and mama I do not post often in this thread but I have lurked from the first thread where ms mioux told us about her situation.
I was glad when ms mioux decided to start the second thread as it has been a great joy to me to see so many people getting so much help and reassurance from this thread. People have come into this thread with so much doubt and despair about their own situations and it has been wonderful to see them get support and see how they have changed and got their strength and confidence back.
One of the other nice things about this thead is reading how people are doing day to day I have had some good laughs reading about first dates and minor mishaps, I have been sad to read about peoples illnesses and been glad to read how they are dealing with it in a positive way.
Higs and hugs to all you lovely OK'ers

Welcome to the new faces... this thread is a safe haven, always offering moral support and great advice ๐
ms Mioux, I tried to find the thread you had on (I think it was called ) manifesting things on your life?
When I read it, all I thought of was wanting a companion dog for my Boxer girl who was fretting terrible after I had to have my old girl put to sleep.
Today is exactly 21 days since she passed - and today I picked up a new dog ๐
I had tried all the rescue sites, applied for 3 dogs and missed out each time,for one reason or another... then this Boxer boy suddenly came up through a friend of a friend of a friend..
He was looking for a new home - his owner dealing with ongoing cancer treatment and having moved close to town after being out on a farm, the beautiful boy kept roaming. My girl has accepted him without any hassles too.
He is so definitely the RIGHT one for both of us. ๐

This is the only decent thread going. It's been that way for quite awhile. Well, since last election.

Spotto lurkers.:8}
I'm off to Sydney next week with my 3 kids. They are taking me on the bridge climb and have payed for everything, the climb, the accommodation and the flights! The affirmation that I must be doing something right means just as much to me as the gift itself. Can't wait.

ooo I'd love to do the bridge climb! Have fun!

Oh dear. I blubbed too, but in a good way. Wot and Dearmama thank you for your lovely posts and as Mrs Braff 0/ said - it's good to see you come out from behind the screen. :-x
It has been a journey, from absolute heartbreak and fear and grief to find I was stronger than I thought and I did survive and I'm doing OK. I will never forget the support and encouragement from everyone here. Oh my goodness the laughs I had, people are so funny! And the wise words, incredible. This thread was the first thing I came to in the morning and the last thing at night. It held me, supported me and kept me going. I will never forget.
"They" say it takes half as long to get over the trauma of being betrayed by someone you thought loved you as you were together. I was with Mr Ex 10 years. I thought I'll be dammed if I'm gonna grieve for Mr Ex for 5 years! No way. I admit I still think about him and 'it' for fleeting moments. Not every day. But every now and then something will remind me. But I'm not consumed, I'm not bitter and I'm not even that angry any more. I doubt I'll ever have another relationship but I'm content with that. I have my family and friends and my cats (crazy cat lady).
I'm in awe of the energy and feeling in this thread. If we could just bottle up all the courage, grace, wisdom and sister solidarity shown by so many people here. We have our Super Girl Kylie, our brave "courage under fire" Mrs Freddie and the soxy Mr Freddie, our Wise Woman YCDI, our loving Cuddlybunny (you can feel her big heart in her posts), our sensible (but crazy for Damo) Mrs Braff, the lovely She-Ele, our Cynth (been there, done it, you can do it too and survive), happybunny and oh .. I knew I shouldn't have started naming names because I've gone blank. Didn't mean to leave you out! You know who you are. :-x
PS I have read everyone's posts and I just want to say higs and hugs and take care and I'll be back later to comment.
