Room For All

[Nancy]

My sister-in-law died yesterday too...breast cancer. Seems like a lot of sorrow for all of us at the moment.

 

[BusyMom]

Big hugs to you all as you process the loss of our friend. Even in a virtual space Northwind made a real difference to our lives.
I am happy that Room for All has continued to be a warm safe space. I am making tea and cookies to leave here for you as you gather to talk about the things that are on your mind this day.

I haven't been to wondercafe2 for a long while but seeing familiar names, and catching up on the threads, it feels like coming home.

 

[Mendalla]

Nice to see the founder of Room For All back in the room. Tea and cookies sounds delish.

I have a bad case of the sads over Kathryn, and my big guy has gone away for a couple of days, and my boarder is away, so I am all by myself in the house, and for the first time, probably, in 64 years, there are no critters in the house, as my boarder had her elderly cat pass last week.

*waves to BusyMom*

I'm not good company.

Thinking of @Nancy and her loss, @Waterfall s health and those who grieve this night.

 

[Mrs.Anteater]

Oh, the news suck…. I don’t think we were expecting it so soon.
Those stage 4 cancers suck…. my sister is getting the results of her last CT tomorrow…..

 

[BetteTheRed]

Thinking of your sister, Mrs.A., and hoping her scan news is good.

 

[Carolla]

Just want to say Thank You to whoever (Mendalla?) added a hug emoji for us. Lots of need for those important hugs these days.

It was when I was headed to the dentist after a meeting that I saw the fb post from Northwind's sister.
I had a molar extracted and have been snoozing on & off since then.

When I wake, my mind shifts back to thinking of Northwind.
I'm thinking of the knitting that she had going, the community of fellow people on the journey, and all the ripples when someone dies.

 

[BetteTheRed]

I always figured we were safe as long as we had unfinished projects.

Good Tuesday morning, all. Kind of a solemn mood as we think of Nancy's sister-in-law, Waterfall's ongoing journey with cancer, and Northwind's passing away. We will definitely miss her. But as BettetheRedde posted somewhere, Northwind has joined the Alto section of the chorus, and is singing away happily.
As we remember her, and Nancy's sister-in-law, and Waterfall's cancer journey, as well as others on that journey, and those who have completed that journey, let us pause for a minute, and raise our cups and mugs in a toast to them, for families and friends who are feeling the losses. And let us remember that as these have been part of our lives, we were also a part of theirs.
The baker this morning has provided squares and Nanaimo bars for us to go with our tea and coffee. Let us join in sharing the goodies, and telling the stories.

With so much death about us ... how can we not have a NDE? Does one have to be thick to not sense the trauma of extensive feelings? It hovers like a shadow and then some just turn it off ... with rebounding consequences that is ordinarily, badly understood ... as a type of spirit ... IHKy?

Distasteful tacks (tax) as we get around and about ... that's milieu ...

Sometimes said to be environmental ... observe it with appreciation ... because of its composition.

There's a myth buried there ... did yah get it? That's the word ...

*peers into workshop*

That works for me.

 

[Luce NDs]

When one looks into the skull ... so much unfinished ...

About those snickerdoodles we had yesterday. Dare Cookies has brought out a Christmas version and oh my, they are delicious.

Imagine a vanilla Girl Gude cookie with added cinnamon.

My Mom used to bake them but her version was softer and more doughy.

 

[Mendalla]

Thank You to whoever (Mendalla?)

It was some imposter called Mendalla_adm.

 

[Mendalla]

*peers into workshop*

That works for me.

In my case it's my "In Progress" folder on my writing drive but same principle.

Of course I settled into the Room for All after waaaayyy too loongggg. Pouring a cup of tea while I find old friends and read through your notes. It feels appropriate that there is drizzly rain out the window while we check in here today. I think it's a north wind blowing, gently at this point.

Nice to see you. Yeah, kind of yucky and drizzly in my world, too.
