I forgot to mention you sim on my last post. If you all are reading here I just wanted to say hello. I was wondering how you all have been doing? I think of you often.
Yes I do eat Tiger Lilly flowers and look forward to the first ones. I eat the open ones in my garden but my French neighbour says you can dip the closed ones in melted butter. She is the one that said they were edible. A lot of flowers are and so are some bulbs. But I stick to the flowers. It was funny because she doesn't speak much English and I speak little French.
Sunny...wonderful! Great to see knowledge passed on and on.
Speaking of that...Davit..I had heard that Hummingbirds help control mosquitos...but I did not know a Tiger Lilly flower was tasty....and I have to ask you if you really ate some? And why? ha....just because? I didn't know you could eat them.
Anerol...thanks for the compliment..my career is super easy compared to Adamedic's...I admire the brave people who do such wonderful things... but I also understand that not everyone is cut out for it..and thats wonderful...were all in this world together. When me and hubby were first married I decided to take him to my job one day.(I worked in a facility with the developmentally disabled at that time) Suffice to say he lasted 5 minutes! We still laugh about that..I could not do his job either...airplanes bore me..well..they actually scare me..ha..
Yesterday I was helping someone here with her anxiety and I used Davit's explanation of burying the negative thoughts with positive thoughts. So, there you are, knowledge passed on again. Thanks.
Thanks for opening up like that. Your post is incredibly inspirational.
I especially liked how you concluded it...your last paragraph is so well put and I can echo your sentiments.
It is that "simple" (it just takes a LOT of hard work to get there). But, when we can "replace all that negative thought with positive", as you put it, it is amazing how our coping skills change. I also like how you suggested not putting a time limit on it. I have also found that taking it a step at a time, day by day, has helped immensely. I look back to where I was 2 years ago and where I am today and I see a huge difference (although there were so many days that it didn't look like it was getting better).
I think that your post will help a lot of people who are struggling with seeing that there is indeed hope.
I've been away from the computer for a few days. Nothing different for me, just been pleasant and steady(most of the time, I was indoors so). I Like everyone's new photos. What's that in your tree Davit? I really liked that last entry you posted here... it's inspirational as always, thanks for being here. Red, I also like your new sunset/sunrise? Photo.
Adamedic- nice to meet you. The thought of being a paramedic or having any health field related occupation worries me too. Thank you and Cleo for your courageous work and who ever else is in that field.
A little known fact is that humming birds eat mosquitoes for the protein they don't get from feeders. In a good summer I can go through sixteen cups of nectar in the feeders a day and have more than a hundred birds. That is a lot of mosquito control. No close neighbours that feed. One distant neighbour who bands them says you always have way more than you think and I believe him. If you eat a Tiger Lilly flower you will see why they like them, they are full of nectar.
