So; we're pretty much halfway through the year. And what a few months it's been, right?
I thought I'd do an easy thread -
How are you? And not in a, yeah, I'm fine sort of way. How are you really?
And what are you looking forward to?

I’m revitalised. Got the mid year new year feeling of out with the old etc. Looking forward to a few events this summer, my promotion and starting my MA finally.
Life is pretty good apart from a few spots.
Hope you’re well Meli x |

It's been an eventful year. I moved house a few months ago so still bedding in here. Things to do here still a few boxes have to be dealt with and some things reorganised
I had a 'lucky' accident on my bike recently. Its been a reminder of my own mortality and how I don't do being ill or impaired very well.
I had been pondering a cycling holiday later in the year but that's on ice.
A person I would have described as my twin has ghosted me after 12 years of being thick as thieves.
But I'm feeling positive and seeing opportunities and looking forward to them. |

I'm sorry to read that Mrs, I hope the meh passes soon for you!
Wedding planning is... exciting but there's so much to think about, isn't there? I get to finally meet you both in October!
Something I'm looking forward to? Finally, potentially, exploring subspace. I've never met anyone where I thought that it could happen but now? Yeah. I think it could be... interesting. |

At the moment in the eye of the storm.
Elation, excitement, shock, relief, ambivalence, disappointment, frustration, anticipatory grief.
Sprinklings of Love, as a friend recently said: Let's not confuse attention with affection. And that has resonated for me. I have a good corner team.
I am in a state of something akin to relaxed readiness. Think final scene of The good, the bad and the ugly.
My mind is somewhere like that now. |

Wolf getting his house renovations finished, he’s making progress. It’s slow, but it’s moving in the right direction.
I’m excited about his birthday, I find keeping a secret really difficult. He knows I really want to tell him what I’ve got for him. So far I’ve managed not to say. I’ve got to last until August.

I’m alright thank you Meli, I’m looking forward to the end of the summer. Cooler temperatures and fewer hayfever induced glued shut eyes.
I’ve had a new oven/cooker too, so I’m looking forward to utilising it for Autumnal type comfort foods being cooked in it. |

Morning lovely Meli.
Its great to see everyone has something to look forward to.
I'm doing great. I'm loving the sunshine.
Opportunities regarding work are coming in unexpectedly which is lovely.
103 days until we fly off to Cyprus. I can honestly say I've never needed a week of relaxation more.
A few other things to look forward to before then too. Wonderful people, new people, experiences, adventures and roadtrips.
Also my birthday is exactly a month away. I've gone from being sad to leave my 30s to looking forward to embracing being 40.
Life really does seem to begin here.
I hope you all have a great Thursday and keep finding things to look forward to

Sorry to read about the charging port, that's wank. Boo to rain though... if it could stay dry until July/only happens at night I'll be happy.

Good morning Meli! I'm ok thank you, I'm a lot better now than was during the first couple of months of the year. My confidence was quite low and lost my mojo and a by of faith in Fab but had some wonderful meets and socials since and definitely feel better now going into the main part of the Summer and latter months |

Wherever I lay my hat |
I am going through massive life changes and am emerging from a place of dark uncertainty having taking a resignation package from work, cancer scare and moving out of my lovely home - all of which had been playing on my mind. In the last week I signed the final legal paperwork, put all my possessions in storage and yesterday got the all clear from the hospital. I feel like massive weights have been lifted and I am now excitedly looking forward to heading off to SE Asia in a few days for 4 months solo backpacking. I'm nervous as hell and will be sad to leave some people behind - but itching to get on with my big adventure and start this next phase of my life. |

Eventful? Yes. I hope you're doing okay with everything that's gone on?
I had a recent health scare and it really does make you have a newfound appreciation for life.
I hope those opportunities blossom for you and the latter half of the year is filled with many happy memories made, x |

I feel like I'm in a constant state of limbo.
I have really good days, then I'll just be exhausted.
I feel kind of stuck due to circumstances/responsibilities but also grateful for having a home and living in a lovely place.
I feel like something needs to change, but I don't know what. |

Honest to goodness, I don't know.
I've had some issues this week that have brought it home to me that I'm likely to need cutting open sooner rather than later, and that's not something I'm willing to accept at the moment. So internal battles are raging there.
I've got some market type events coming up that I'm looking forward to, hoping they'll not be a disappointment.
And I've got to give my dogs a major clipping. I'm not sure if "looking forward to" is the term for that. More "anticipating stress". |

A good corner team. I like that a lot Hans, going to borrow it. They make such a difference don't they?
I hope that the storm is chaotic in the very best of ways for you. Sometimes I think that experiencing the lows, the highs of stormy weather really makes life that much more interesting. I don't think I'd want to settle for anything less. |

"I'm hot, grumpy and looking forward to September Meli
Only Northampton and CNL social to go before I'm off on my summer break for some RnR "
You're really not a lover of this heat huh? 
I hope you have a fantastic time on your summer break, x |

Strangely for me, actually ok. I've got some stressful things to finish sorting but the end of the line is nearing. I've got some plans with my kids which they don't know about yet. We just say we're going on an adventure tomorrow morning and then goodness knows what we'll do. I'm finally well enough to actually start decorating my house so it's paint samples galore in my bedroom at the moment. I'm taking the other half to see a ballet in September which I'm beyond excited about. And a mate from the states messaged me last night saying he's going to visit end of next month, which has made me happy. |

I'm looking forward to changing my job with much fortitude. I'm looking forward to honing into my mindfulness at a deeper level, in whatever manifestation it occurs.
I'm looking forward to meeting more people from the forå, Fab people with whom I've been chatting to extensively through the vapour and where semi-concrete plans are afoot! Plans for lunching, imbibing, woo'ing, coffee'ing, group socialising and the occasional love-making. |

You can do it Red! That's so adorable though, you can read your excitement. 
I hope the house renovations continue moving in the right direction. |

You are welcome to it of course. They really do.
More and more I learn it's the people you ride the storm with that makes it all worthwhile. |

I do hope life doesn't begin at 40 though, that's too many years for me to be waiting. :D |

Thank you, life seldom goes to plan but I have to (grudgingly) admit I'm in a good place right now. Somethings could be better but doesn't stop me from seeing what's good.
I hope that the remainder of the year is good for you with lots to make you laugh and enriching enjoyable experiences. |

In my brain it's still only a few weeks after Christmas, I keep expecting to see ice on the car windscreen, and take a warm jacket when I go anywhere. Really cannot compute hot sun when my mind keeps saying winter.
Where the hell did the year go to? |
