For one horrifying moment I thought you were about to say that the Marks and Sparks electric charger didnt work either which would have ruined my love for all things M&S 😅
Anti fragility….I found a nice pictorial representation but can’t upload it here sadly. I’ve tried to use everything I’ve been through in life to help me grow stronger and be able to help others. For me it’s important as it helps make sense of the many struggles. Pain without purpose is just pain, but pain with a purpose is power.
You do make me chuckle Suzanne! I love how you are following a train of thought and then get distracted by cute sheep, or a tree, or the sky, or another thought. It truly is a ramble but ... it is a ramble with purpose 😃 and anything but boring.
Anti fragility and airlines sharing Black Box info to help others and keep them safe made me think of you. Because you and your family chose to share the Black Box of your crisis, thousands of others have been helped, kept safe and become more anti fragile. In turn members, of the PMH community now share their Black Box info to help each other and keep each other safe and build anti fragility.
That thought lead to my answer to your question ‘How am I seeing the things that have happened to me?’
I think I am seeing them as an opportunity to connect and share with others and hopefully help to spread the safety and anti fragility by tentatively sharing my experiences when appropriate.
I also need others to reach out to me when I come across more turbulence and that is what I am receiving in PMH.
So, in my container today goes PMH. PMH is my anti fragility shield!
I hope you managed to catch your breath today (literally and metaphorically).
Very envious of your trip to Durham next week. Many very happy (but very old) memories of being a student and then a youth worker there.
Definitely under committed today, had a couple of hours painting this afternoon.
When u said container ,a shipping Container 🚢 definitely came to mind ....I'm putting my very poorly brother in there today and trusting the journey. I can't 'fix him' but I can be there and support him x
Not sure about the anti fragile 🤔 I feel mainly bruised? I can share advice in group like the aeroplane companies but always feels like I am touching a bruise when I do if that makes sense? I do not feel stronger (I feel like I have learned a lot ). I probably am stronger perhaps just don’t feel it. Not sure how I over come the bruised feeling ? Maybe it because my daughter is still going through alot (she has made great progress over the years). I am going to work on the bruising.
After your ramble me and my daughter went for a drive and lamb watched they are funny 😂
On a more serious note (because, yes, humour is my fall back when feelings, thoughts etc are painful) i also feel like I am a plane in a holding pattern (with severe turbulence and lots of sudden drops). I researched a bit and wonder if I am what people now seem to call "languishing". I am determined to eventually "land" and survive the turbulence and am seeking ways in which to do that and then maybe i can use my "black box" to help others 😊

Wow! That quote should be printed on fridge magnets Mandy! So empowering and so true x
I’ve just googled it to see I’ve absorbed it subliminally from somewhere but nope it’s just my little musing.
You should copyright it ™️ 😃
