    I want to make sure I make it clear that I don’t think you lack purpose. I see lots of purpose in your life. You have your cat, nature photography, a much appreciated contribution here through your posts and admin work , the daily card you post for us. The birds you care for, your garden and of course your relationship with your parents.
    It feel it’s hard for us as individuals to see our purpose.
    I like my Thursdays food bank because if I can’t go it’s ok. No one is going to be upset with me.

    I feel an online thing is a wonderful option. I don’t want to make it seem like I don’t understand the difficulties of your situation. Doing everything you do while dealing with chronic health issues is a major accomplishment.
    I don’t communicate well and tend to be overly blunt without enough context. Or “fluff” as I put it in my head. I hope I didn’t offend you.

    Beautiful pictures @Pupowl! I love the way the deer is framed among the wildflowers.

    I like the idea of a drop in choir or volunteer gig based on reading recent comments. I have a friend who used to volunteer at a local elementary school but she likes camping and also visiting her adult children who live abroad, so she had to stop. Her daughter lives in New Zealand and her son is married to a diplomat who works for the Department of State and moves to various locations every few years. So, when she travels, it’s usually for a few weeks or months. We’ve talked about sharing a volunteer role so we can cover for one another. Of course, the students need a consistent routine but maybe the solution is to over-populate the group a bit since we know that only about 1-5 percent of members form the core leadership, and 10-20 percent are regularly active, the remaining members can rotate in —

    More groups with less structure can work as long as we clearly articulate the expectations and structure the activities in a way that makes it easier to adjust based on the number of people who show up.

    Weekly Post
    Weigh In Day: Saturday
    Highest weight: 239.8
    PW (Previous Weight): 229.0
    CW (Current Weight): 227.0
    I’m so thankful for this active group, and I enjoy reading your posts! But I feel like I’m a drain on the team since I’m not posting much and haven’t been meeting my goals and should move on for now. I do have accountability and stay in touch with least 2 online friends, so I am not giving up!! Thank you for your kind support, everyone! 🥰🤗🙏🏻☀️👋🏻

    Just wanted to chime in here. There is nothing wrong with mostly lurking! There are plenty of people who only come here for the weigh in/steps. If you enjoy reading along and get something out of the group, even with just the weigh in, then do stick around!
    Thank you, Pupowl! 🥰

    @CasandraW No worries at all, I wasn't offended and you weren't blunt. Guess I wasn't very clear either. I never considered that you thought I had no purpose! It was a good suggestion since it is a struggle for a lot of people. The things about my cat etc are true, but they feel small to me. I have a hard time putting things in perspective and not comparing myself to other (healthy) people. Some days I feel quite proud of what I have done, and some days I feel silly for it since it is so little compared to what most people do in a day. Thank you for the kind words!

    @LaurieWrobo The mountains are so pretty...I hear you about the heat...and it sucks all your energy too! Makes it easier to drink our water (although that's REALLY looking for a bright side)! Thanks for sharing the picture...
