Introducing ME to ME again

[GoodAsGold]

I?ve become so habituated into focusing my thoughts on the ?drunken? me, that I?ve almost forgotten the me I used to be. And wish so dearly to be again (yeah I know, the real me is sat right here beside me, has been here all along!)

So, I?d like to introduce me to myself again
(the healthy, happy me)

I?m basically a good, down to earth, optimistic & loving lady. If it was allowed, I?d happily spend the rest of my life sipping a cappuccino whilst having a great conversation. But alas? :upset:

I?m generous, caring, clever, mystical, creative, strong, sensitive, amusing, curious, open-minded, thankful, sexy, practical, curious, clumsy, friendly, hopeful, erratic, loyal, compassionate, honest, vulnerable, inventive, sentimental?

Hmm that?s quite a good start! :goodjob:

My sense of humour is quite self-deprecating & also sarcastic. I like black comedy - ?Fargo? is a favourite film. ?Steve Zissou & the life Aquatic? is another. Enjoy making fun of other people & myself. Finding the humour amidst this roller-coaster of life. Like playing on words. Like words in general. Love the art of communication - it?s how we connect, right? Or a major part of it

Enjoy good company, food, sunshine, cloud-spotting, conversation, laughter, learning, animals, reading, chilling out, sleep

Interested in my family, people in general, nature, natural healing, green issues, music, psychology, did I mention cloud-spotting yet?

Introducing ME to ME again

OK, you mentioned "cloud spotting," you gave me a great excuse to post another one of my recent pics! I had some great clouds to shoot when I was down in Florida last week...

One of my zen teachers once told me to "make friends with the sky." I didn't have any idea what he meant, until I began trying it out.

Anyhow, very nice post, GG, and good for you. That kind of thinking is something we all need to do, otherwise what's the point of not drinking? There's got to be something positive for us to be striving toward... or what's the point of living?

I want to do a lot more work in photography, more writing...

Great post GAG. I was talking to my G/F about this tdy actually. Im not a bad person...until i drink. And then im not violent, angry or shouty. I lock myself away from everyone and drink myself to blackout for a couple of days. Gotts focus on the positive things that we have in our bodies and souls

Thanks for your company on this journey guys!
I' usually be feeling like a bit of a smarty pants 4 starting this thread (I L o o o v e approval)
But this feels different. I'm so thankful. My thinking is changing so much since finding MWO. Here's hoping my actions soon follow...

CY - great to hear from you. Really enjoy your posts & the whole AF army vibe
O2M - she was there wasn't she? Grand. Reminds of that lovely 'Footsteps' prayer
WIP - luscious picture. Maybe you should be our official cloud-spotting consultant! I kind of get the zen thing... they're always in motion. Never the same. Every moment has movement & it's own quality. Change is there whether we perceive it or not
Evie - thanks. I do feel much better when sober!
W - Ha ha! Oi, James, she's over here!

Hey Gold -
You've read some of my humor (so you know I'm with you on that), but I must say that any time you want to get down on yourself, re-read what you wrote about yourself and remember ALL of those positive qualities you just told everyone about YOU! THat's the real you, and you're still there. We ALL get down, and bogged with our life's struggles.
You've got so much going...just keep going, and stay strong!

I could do with doing that tonight....Try and list all the points i like about myself rather than constantly look at the bad ones...

Its hard sometimes and you need reminding...

Thx Gold..

Hi Gold,

Your beautiful post is like a gratitude journal - a reminder of all we have to be thankful for. I'm thankful for having lost 11 pounds of wine and vodka off my hips, but looking at One2's avatar reminds me that I also lost what little chest I had. The ying and yang of it all.

WIP - you are the official MWO photographer. I think Cymru is the chef, and I seem to recall (?) Ripple being the recreation director. Any other positions to fill? Thanks for the positive thought Gold - hope you ride that wave all throughout the weekend.
