Your brick story

By the end of the day I felt so small that I could easily climb inside this shell. and I just needed a space where I could be alone and safe.

    What a beautiful place of safety you chose. Take care. New job, death of neighbour, looking after a million people - it all takes it's toll. Lots of love, Harmony

    Hello yes I am a snail maid - thank you for your comments - overseas - this is just one of those times when the past catches up and grabs hold and it feels like it pulls me under. I was just lucky to find a shell to crawl into - it is actually very small but quite good for a little hidey hole to stay in. I wish I had a few of these around the place -I recommend them for a safe refuge. UM x

    Hello UM, I'm so sad to find you like this. UM, our staunchest Waller of all, and now perhaps in need of all the support we can give. Have you given too much, burned yourself up? It seems you have taken the lion's of responsibility for supporting everyone. And now with the chnage of job and the loss of your friend its all got too much.

    You have been going like a train for several months now - perhaps its time to take a break. Can you go north and get some sun on one of those islands you told us about; just for a few days to recharge you batteries. Be peaceful. Love BB

    Oh I would like to go north permanently - I miss living somewhere where people speak like me - these southerners speak to quickly for my slow ears.

    No time for me to go north though - just trying to find some space for me - it's been a difficult few weeks - and yet as with all things measured by time it too will pass. love UMxx

    I've been depressed for quite awhile now, sadness surrounded my thoughts, but I kept it all inside. When I'm with my family...
