This may be my swan song: I am requesting that participants be aware many here do not have enough to eat or have the privilege to buy what they need. I’ve noted people once came here to share the soul and heart thoughts of every day living. I have concerns people from other parts of the globe do not post here any longer.

This may be my swan song: I am requesting that participants be aware many here do not have enough to eat or have the privilege to buy what they need. I’ve noted people once came here to share the soul and heart thoughts of every day living. I have concerns people from other parts of the globe do not post here any longer. I think they are feeling disenfranchised . There once was an understanding of universality I’d hope to see my brothers and sisters post from SA and other parts of Europe , if they can. I am painfully aware some people cannot post for fear of reprisal where they live. I am grateful I saw my friends post here.
Please do not turn this into a chat room . That would be a venue for FB.
4/12 -Mica, I find sone responses condescending . Re question of the day: low blow. Your reply is disingenuous. Perhaps you should reflect on it. I’ve failed to join “ group think”. There is a risk in posting on a public site. I took it and I’m receiving what I expected.
I expect I will be a pariah.

I don’t find some posts “ frivolous “. There is connection in loneliness and sharing common interests. And that’s all some may have due to isolation or conditions that keep one immobile.
I expressed the unpopular.
Having been in the medical arena for nearly 5 decades, I’d hope no patients would have to face each other in their illness or recovery from procedures. Nursing home residents need whatever privacy they can garner. The individual in the center of the print is in the sun ;perhaps this is the artist’s message light can be found in shadow.
Holly, I never thought of Prayer Tuesday as a “ group”. There was no division here. Ursula, a young woman who succumbed to cancer, had asked us a few years ago to pray on Tuesday for her, for others, and to honor her favorite saint. I held Ursula as a friend . Her wisdom and insights were respected . The people on this site who knew her then tried to hold her in that awful journey and also to support each other knowing we’d lose a sweet soul. I don’t believe any of t...

I don’t believe any of the participants here thought of themselves as a “ group”. All have been welcome here. There is a loss with the changing tempo of the lounge.
Hello, Pilgrim. Thank goodness for your post. A relief .
Kristi, thank you for posting. I had left because I felt this space was turning into a chat room . I have been disturbed that days were determined to be meeting times. I was not feeling pressured from these decisions but noted some people were no longer writing in the gratitude lounge . I also noted there was no response to sensitive or poignant posts perhaps participants here no longer felt they were being seen or heard.
I’d like to request that those seeing my post here that...
I’d like to request that those seeing my post here that people are on this site from all over the world. Some chose not to write and others may not write due to constraints where they live.
