Life challenges

[Hopeandlove]

@Till23 anything to escape reality. Growing up with parents screaming at me and them fighting with each other I had to find ways to drown the noise out. So I turned to my imagination. I have several scenes that I like to imagine, being in the jungle, at the beach with waves crashing, in Africa with the roars of lions around me etc. It's become a coping mechanism when things get too much for me and I need to escape it all.

Can you reuse the same letters for different words?  Like couch and ouch, or 'la' to form both lava and lamp?

If so, I have 13.  Unique words using only individual letters ones... 7.  One is iffy though

[Hopeandlove]

@MJG017 it's only finding those few hidden words however I do like the extra challenge of finding how many words you can make using the letters.

I should read on before I post.  I replied to the first picture, read on and see the 2nd!!  If I was smart i would read on to see if there's a 3rd... but i like to live on the edge! 😁

Anyhoo... I see 6.

Hope you had a restful night. Being in the ICU, I imagine they check on you throughout the night.

If I could be one of the four elements fire, water, air, or earth, I’d choose air because I love the sound of the wind freely blowing through the trees. Water would be a close second. I also have a few imaginary places I like to visit, all of which include large English-style gardens. I’d love to have a herb labyrinth to wander through, breathing in all the wonderful scents. I adore magpies and wrens, but I’d love to see an English red robin someday.

If you need a laugh, try watching some silly animal videos. I love the ones featuring cats vs dogs or unlikely animal friendships, like a cat and a mouse being best friends.

I'm off to the library today to find some good fictional books and audiobook CDs.  Sometimes I just love curling up in bed and having someone else read to me.

Take care my friend. We’re all thinking of you.

Hugs,
Snuggles 🥰

P.S. It’s amazing how many words @MJG017 found in @tyme puzzles, I was feeling pretty smug after finding just five!

@Former-Member there's not alot of rest happening here and things just keep going bad. 

Air and water are my favourites. Bird sounds are beautiful to listen to and relaxing. English gardens are stunning and I like the idea of the herb labyrinth, all those smells would be amazing and aromatic.

Thank you for your thoughts and hugs. 💙

I watch some funny videos of animals doing silly things, and I enjoy watching music videos also. 

Enjoy your visit to the library

There’s probably a lot going on in ICU @Hopeandlove so it’s hard to get rest. It’s hard to get rest in hospital at all really as there’s always something going on.

 I’m worried that you said things just keep going bad.

I hope you are able to escape to your virtual nature haven to get some relief 

[Hopeandlove]

@Till23 how I wish I could escape to one of my nature scenes. 

I had a heart attack in the early hours of the morning, i have heart failure (ADHF) and I have acute renal failure to add to everything else. My body isn't responding to the treatments, so now they are just looking at making me comfortable and i have been referred to end of life care. I'm in shock and can't think straight. 

Thank you all for your support through this time, knowing I haven't been alone in this has meant alot to me.

I'm so sorry to hear @Hopeandlove I wish I had more words of comfort, but I hope you know that the forums community is here with you through this
