    I've long thought that we don't understand or appreciate something without also understanding it's contrast, it's opposite. We only know happiness if we also know sadness. Warmth, cold. Wealth, poverty. etc.

    I've also long thought that, speaking in very broad strokes, all "systems" tend towards balance. Environments, relationships, finances, etc.

    I've been thinking lately that conflict is the manifestation of those opposing forces. It's where happiness and sadness meet. It's what causes a relationship to find equilibrium. It's the opposite to the feeling of being "too comfortable"... which is another thing I've been thinking a lot about lately. While I don't want to say that I need some confect in my life, I do think I need some contrast. My lane has gotten too narrow.

    Why isn't there a 'deep' button?

    Ye @jjpptt2, I haven't dared to look today to see if he's still there or not. If he's gone, I'll be telling myself a cat got him. :/

    And yes @kickassamazon76, nifty tidbit of information to store. We've had many birds fly off our windows. :( I let all the blinds down on my year round porch yesterday, there are 11 windows. So hopefully no more flying into those now. I'm grateful I found the poor thing before my dogs did. I still remember the day I went back out to bring the dogs in and they were so excited, chasing each other around the yard. It was because big bad Holly had a bird in her mouth. :(

    Jo is always SO SWEET to me.
    I know nothing of googol. 😂

    A post on another thread, this is my reasoning to what I posted there.
    Didn’t feel like engaging with my disagreer.

    Last December I moved... same town, but from a rural setting to right in town. I went from having 5 acres of land to have 3/4 of an acre. From having neighbors that I could see but not hear, to having neighbors that I can never NOT hear.

    One of the subtle side effects of this is that the lack of quiet stillness around me makes it difficult to be quiet and still with myself. To reflect and just sit with myself. Good side of the coin is that sitting quietly with myself is usually uncomfortable. The bad side of the coin is that NOT taking that time means I've lost connection with myself.

    The first step to fixing a problem is admitting there is one.

    I couldnt deal with that .. I downsized a few years back and feel like I’m suffocating sometimes, neighbours are lovely but can’t use hot tub or sunbathe in a bikini without the neighbours popping over the fence for a chat and the rest of the street coming out the houses over their fences too chiming in 😵‍💫

    I am not a fan of these new community forums.


    However....I am really excited that we can finally see who Likes, Hugs, and Disagrees our posts.

    Keep your enemies close..... >:)

    I thought we could see but couldn't figure out how.

    It's probably really intuitive but...how? 😀

    Seems like far less chit-chatting is happening since the forum "upgrade" -- is it just me?
