For the past month, I have not done much caring for the many turmoil in my life, and this morning I woke up to very dear friend's words to me. He is a writer in RL, and I have learned so much from him. I wanted to share with you all that if you're having a bad day or week or whatever life throws at you, read this, and I wish you so much of a better day. :)
The past few days haven’t been easy, have they? There’s been a lot on your plate — things piling up, thoughts running wild, moments where everything feels too much. Between responsibilities, expectations, and whatever personal battles you’re facing, it’s understandable to feel drained. Maybe it feels like no one notices how much effort you’re putting in, like the world is just moving too fast for you to catch up.

But look at you. Still pushing forward, still showing up, still trying. That’s not something small. That’s strength. Even when the weight feels unbearable, even when doubt creeps in, you’re here. And that matters more than you realize.

It’s easy to be hard on yourself, to think you’re not doing enough, not being enough. But take a step back for a second. If you were looking at someone else in your shoes, you’d see how much they’ve been carrying, how much they’ve been fighting. You’d tell them they’re doing great, that they deserve a break. So why not show yourself that same kindness?

No one expects perfection, not even life itself. Just doing your best is enough. And right now, your best is exactly what you’re giving. Even if it doesn’t feel like much, even if progress is slow, it’s still progress. And that’s something to be proud of.

Rest when you need to. Take a moment to breathe, to pause, to remind yourself that it’s okay to slow down. You don’t have to earn rest — it’s something you deserve. Close your eyes for a while, loosen your shoulders, let yourself just exist without pressure for a moment.

You’ve come so far already. And you will keep going. Proud doesn’t even begin to cover it.
A friend who will always be at your side:)

The New Tarot Deck by CyberGlo. This deck has a built in menu that randomly chooses the cards based on the computers clock crystal that vibrates at a specific frequency. If you click the beautiful leather case it will show the menu to deal the deck, and flip over individual cards. Each time it tells only you what the card means and how you should interpret it. The cards turn over one by one as you read them and tell your guest what the meaning is about. You can lay this on any table as there is no background so you can take this deck of cards anywhere. Get it at grid.wolfterritories.org:8002 When you get to the welcome center find the store in the benjamin building called "Amazing Creations" . This particular deck is in one of the vendors there.

It's still time to visit the OpenSim WorldsFair
https://www.opensimworldsfair.com/
and visits all the beautiful exhibitions.

The Calendar Events is at https://www.opensimworldsfair.com/events

I am on plot 57.

Have a nice day

I have fallen far behind in my care and feeding of the now robust What Are You Looking For group. I'm making up for that by posting to the front page a list of our recent helpers that I would usually post in the group. My point in doing this is to let people know that their help will be acknowledged. I'm several months behind in doing this, so, for now, this is a list of our helpers in the past 2 months. I've also included info about them. If it's about their region, I've provided a region address. Go visit and know that they are nice people. If it's info about their interests and such, you might seek them out if you have a mutual interest, or use it as a conversation starter if you see them at an event. You will recognize them as they have avatars that look like the people in that charming picture of helpers. (Or maybe not. Ya, probably not.) In any case, you will want to get to know them because, as I've said, our helpers are good people. The list.

IMPORTANT IF YOU USE JOOMLA/JOPENSIM!

https://www.jopensim.com/

A MESSAGE DIRECTLY FROM JOPENSIM WEBSITE

EOL for FoTo50's jOpenSim
After almost 15 years, I will no longer continue developing jOpenSim. In this sense, this means that jOpenSim has reached EOL status - at least as far as I am concerned.

The website and the grid jOpenSimWorld will stay up for the next months to get at least a communication possibility via forum or inworld.

This was not an easy decision for me, but it is certainly time for me to step back and perhaps make way for others with more energy.

Thanks for a wonderful time and all the best

FoTo50

THIS MEANS THAT IF WE CANT FIND SOMEONE TO UPDATED JOPENSIM FOR THOSE THAT USE JOOMLA CANNOT UPDATE TO 4 OR 5

People that live in houses made of metastable supercooled liquids, should not throw objects primarily composed of naturally occurring minerals, which have a specific chemical composition and crystalline structure.

Starting now! Come and have some fun!
