The Sheltering Tree

[Spenser41]

Thanks Spenser and *Hugs* right back at you.....We all need to be hugged.....or a simple smile can bring some one down back up!!! I think that you started a good thread here hun...and Thanks for doing so.

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS TO ALL}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} ​

Thanks Mary. I really can not take credit for the thread. I believe it was dropped into my heart from above so that there would be a place where people could share and care for each other. And so far it has worked. The first time and now the 2nd time. Glad it has blessed people.

It's been awhile since I've wandered and sat under the shade and comfort of the Tree but here I am. I've got a lot of reading to catch up but during my scanning of the posts I couldn not help but say that the Tree is a place of comfort, a place where one can vent, cry, offer help and lend an ear. I also have to say that everyone here is like an extended family to me. In Hawaii we have lots and lots of aunts, uncles, cousins, sisters, brothers, etc. but in reality many of them are not related; we take in, become close to and hold people close to our hearts and consider them family and to me that is what each and everyone here is to me.

I'm back on heavy meds; in fact, they doubled everything I was taking and have added pain pills so I'm pretty much down for the count most of the time although I try my best to walk around in the house (not just to the kitchen and bathroom) to keep the muscles in my leg from becoming atrophied again. It's an up and down thing and each day is different but at least I'm able to deal with the emotions that come with my medical problems. Jazey baby you know exactly what I mean!

I want to thank those who put up with our medical and emotional problems and help us though our ups and downs. It seems after awhile we seem to forget or take others for granted which is human nature but if you have someone who helps you out in any way, be it medically, emotionally, physically or financially, take the time out to give him/her a great big hug and kiss and say thank you. I want to take this time to open my arms and reach out and hug each and everyone of you and give you all a big juicy kiss on the cheek for being so caring, loving and allowing me to share in the comfort of the Tree. Spenser, here's a great big hug (gently of course) and a kiss and a fragrant hawaiian lei for you for starting this thread and giving us a place to come to to sit, enjoy the cool shade and to share special times with you and others!

Aloha all...take care and until next time es and hugs,
Shadow

Thank you sweetie. I am so sorry that you are still dealing with all this pain and suffering. You know I think of you often and wish I could get that lei in person. Maybe one day, you never know. Just hang in there and PLEASE come back when you can. Hugs (gentle ones) and kisses. You are a dear sweet friend. Lord bless you, hon.

Your most welcome Spenser I do believe God works in Mysterious ways.....and that he sees to everyone's needs if they just ask for it.....I know I wouldn't be where I am without prayer.....God Bless you and everyone.... ​

Shadow hun.....I don't know the details of your health problems but I too have lots of health problems.....And you are so right that everyone needs a friend to lean on even if it is just to listen......We all need each other and there are always lots good and bad going on in life.....I hope and pray that you get well or at least well enough to possibly get off some of the meds......God Bless You!!!!

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Group Hug to all}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} ​

Thanks MaryBears. I dont' want to bore anyone with my problems but if you want to know you can PM me or e-mail me at shadow_dreamer_hawaii@yahoo.com. I'm willing to share with those who want to know; perhaps they may have the same problems and we can share the different therapies, solutions or info that may help.

At one point of my life after my 2nd surgery and right before I knew I was going to have another one around a 1 year after that surgery I was very, very depressed, felt I was a burden upon others, also felt my bf was getting the short end of the deal amd to top it off I had to resign my job that I loved. But with the help, caring and understanding from people here under the Tree and 2 other threads and my other half's watchful, caring, loving persona I learned and discovered I have a lot to live for and I don't want to leave my loved one's with grief, questions and possibly blaming one another for not doing or doing something; I know I've suffered 2 suicides in my family, both the youngest child of their families like I am, and it's caused more than sadness in the family.

Well, enough said; I apologize for babbling, it's a tendency when I'm on meds and with nothing or no one to talk to at home during the day sometimes.

Everyone here deserves more than (gentle) HUGS, KISSES AND SMILES! Know I hold everyone here under the Sheltering Tree near and dear to my heart and I pray and think of everyone every chance I get, every day!

Thank you shmily, newme and BabyDoll for you prayers, thoughts and kindness. Life doesn't deal us a Royal Flush all of the time but we do make the best of what we are dealt with the help of others. Okay, I've been playing too much Texas Hold 'Em to keep me occupied at times, hehehe.

BD my g/f, hope things are going well for ya. I've been lurking in the shadows again but behaving as I should. Doesn't mean I haven't been thinking of ya though because I have been thinking of ya lots!

Take care all and until next week or when I'm up and about and awake enough to sit at the computer....

Lots of to everyone. Shall I pass around glasses of ice cold strawberry lemonade to quench everyone's thirst while we rest and spend precious moments under the comforting Tree?

 

[shmily]

shadow - you are a sweet lady.

glad to see ya back on-line. Take care hon.

I agree the tree is a nice place to come for shelter and love and kindness and care from a bunch of wonderful people.

Good Afternoon to everyone here at the Sheltering Tree....... *hugs* 's, and 's to all.....It is a super hot day again here....I hope everyone is taking it easy and getting lots of rest and relaxation.......Take care and your all in my thoughts and prayers.​

 

[Spenser41]

Hey folks and yes it is HOT Try 104 in Ashland today....

YUCK!

 

[Emes]

Just popping by to say hello...and to leave {{{HUGS}}} to all who can use them at the moment

 

[MaryBears]

Good Afternoon to all at the Sheltering Tree!!!!!!!

Hope everyone is trying to stay cool....and keeping in out of the heat....

Just sitting here doing some thinking, playing online, and watching some TV.....seems like life always has it's ups and downs.....Seems like everyone needs someone to turn too....seems like everyone has some kind of hurt both physical and emotional....Someone always need a helping hand....Sometimes this is so hard to understand what or why life is so cruel or why life can be happy.....I guess I am just in one of those questioning moods.

Anywho, hope everyone has a fabulous day....take care and God Bless you all!!!!!!
