If you could use a hug, check in here.....

[OneGrassRoot]

Yesterday kicked my butt (anger, frustration, conflict, then sheer exhaustion and withdrawal into a cocoon state for self-preservation), and I have a feeling I'm not alone.

I sure could use a hug, and I offer many to anyone who needs one.....

[Delphinus]

3. Were you reading my mind?!

Thanks, OneGrassRoot. These past few days have kicked my butt and I've been wanting to just run away. Your hugs are much appreciated. I accept them with open arms.

I'll give you more later, but right now, here's one for you. :hug:

Heartfelt thanks.

[OneGrassRoot]

4. Back atcha, Delphinus....

I knew I wasn't alone and that part of what I was feeling was others' emotions, not just my own little slice of life.

More hugs of support sent your way.....

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

[mysticalchick]

5. Sending loving hugs out ...

... to all who need them. May blessings of Light be yours today as you feel the arms of the angels hold you tight.

6. Yesterday was quiet around here, but

what kind of person would refuse a hug when it's offered? :shrug:

Hug exchange!

[hermetic]

7. Okay, I'll take one

and here's one back for you.



Hugs are good, "needed" or not. It's the one drawback to being a hermit. So I've come to enjoy electronic hugs almost as much as real ones. :)

Hope you have a better day today.

[OneGrassRoot]

18. Have three...

[Kookaburra]

8. Like you wouldn't believe

In addition to the unpleasantness of yesterday -- and the news this morning from Haiti -- I fell going out of the house into the garage this morning and sprained the snot out of my ankle. OUCH

Hate to complain on and on, but OUCH

...and I had to come to work anyway. ugh.

[Kookaburra]

29. Thank you OGR

And here's one right back at ya

:hug:

[FirstLight]

9. no shit!

sorry, that was my first response this morning...

I had good dreams and they all went POOF at first ray of morning...so ya, that sux

the rest of the planet is in flux, feels like the PTB are never going to allow for change or positivity, and I am dissapointed in my President whom I was so very excited for a year ago... dissilussionment is a good word, frustration, ya...

Haven't even tried to look for a job yet this year, why bother nothing has changed "out there"
so all i can do is yoga, rest and home-work, because the "in here" is the part that needs the work and healing right now.

blessings to you OGR...we all need hugs as this year continues to unfold the chaos that IS the SHIFT

And blessings to you, FirstLight, and everyone....

10. I'm sorry about yesterday, OGR.

:hi: I gratefully accept your hugs because I just didn't want to wake up and get out of bed this morning.

I send some hugs to you, Dear Girl.

14. Thanks OGR

This morning... one year after Obama took office, I just broke down crying. I'm so sad that we have not moved forward more and that Obama is following so much of Bush policy. There are things that take time to change and things that can be done NOW. Not enough has been done NOW.

27. Bless you all....

Thank you for sharing my love for a heartfelt hug ~ it needn't be in person to be genuine.

Bless you all.

I keep hearing "Remember to breathe....."

:)

[BlueIris]

28. Right here. Throughout much of yesterday,

I wanted to take a baseball bat to someone's head. Relax, I would never do that. But it just came out of nowhere, and I'm not even hormonal. ACK.

[OneGrassRoot]

33. lol....

You're funny. ;)

We are surfing very interesting energies, I find. Crazy, unexpected...maybe Mother Earth is going to hormonal changes and that's what we're being bombarded with?

:shrug:

:hug: :hug: :hug:

[Flying Dream Blues]

30. I am amazed that it could and has gotten actually WORSE

with control of WH, and both legislative houses. It makes the whole thing seem like a big charade, and I am crushed to find that there was a checkmate waiting in the form of the Supreme Court. (again) I'm stunned and despondent and just want out.

[OneGrassRoot]

34. I know....

I hear you. I have no words, just :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

[Missy Vixen]

31. I could use one

It hasn't been a great week.

:hug: to you, too.

[Cleita]

37. My employer laid into me about stupid stuff.

It ruined my day and it was totally unfair of him. Then he said he was being a bastard and smiled. I almost said that he shouldn't be smiling because that is something he shouldn't be proud of, but I stifled the urge to sass back at him. I need the job and at my age there aren't too many around willing to hire me. Thanks for putting up the thread. I needed somewhere to unload the frustration.

[OneGrassRoot]

41. Ughhhh......

Geez, when I first read this, I thought you said he laid you off about stupid stuff. Bad enough to be "laid into" but thank goodness not laid off.

Still...it sucks when we feel we have to swallow integrity to maintain a roof over our heads and food on the table.

I'm so sorry, Cleita. At least he acknowledged he was being a bastard; maybe your graceful response will be the example he needs to not go there any more when the bastard feeling hits.

:hug: :hug: :hug:

[Kind of Blue]

43. Good grief! I read it the same way. I'm glad

I read your response first, OGR!
Now I can send Cleita a different kind of hug, one not associated with so much sorrow.

[OneGrassRoot]

45. LOL!

We're quite the pair, eh?

Good morning, my dear KOB!!!

:hug: :hug: :hug:

[Kind of Blue]

46. LOLOLOLOL...God Morning, darling OGR!

I better put my glasses on. Or more likely I'm always bracing for the worse or the next shoe to drop these days. Didn't realize how waaay off kilter my emotions are.

[Kind of Blue]

44. Sending a bunch, Cleita!

[Cleita]

48. That is a bunch of hugs. LOL! Many thanks!n/t

[FirstLight]

38. Me again!!!!

I am bored and have teh Cabin Fever...5' of snow outside, headachey, etc... but I *did* make soup, and my kids are clean, and so's my kitchen...so there is hope! lol


...and this is the first Saturday night I have been home so far this year, so I can't complain TOO much :P

[OneGrassRoot]

42. Hope...

Yay!!!! :bounce:

Always a good thing. :)

I'm snowed in, too, but it's rare for us and I am THOROUGHLY enjoying it, especially since it's felt that my uterus is falling out since Friday. Oy.....

But the good news there is that, for the first time in a long time, it was a regular cycle. On time. The hormone therapy really is working. So, there's hope there, too! :bounce:

I hope you have a most blessed Sunday. :hug:

[NuttyFluffers]

47. how convenient! i like to give hugs!

everyone, gather, come closer!
with our powers combined, we change into form of GROUPHUG!
