:H:H haven't heard that phrase for years!!

Betty is bouncing around today and has definitely got her mojo back. She makes me laugh at her lopsided attempts at chasing things around the house.

Techie: laughed at the train trip anecdote!! :H:H

Iris photos were stunning TF - loved the stamens! Bees have obviously been feasting already ......

Just heard that power is back on at work. Good news is that my attempts at asserting our rights as a sub-leasee have at last been recognised and addressed (about time too!!). Bad news is that I will have to go in to work on the weekend to send this report off and make sure the server is back in working order.

Oh, Mme Le Frog - what a bloom! So beautiful....

Underoos and Friends - October

I am avoiding talking about the biggest thing that is going on for me at the moment, which is around having been invited to contribute an international commentary on a issue that is within my professional expertise. Some of the stress around that is how I ended up drinking uncontrollably. I swore that I wouldn't go there again. But it is something that I feel really passionate about and I am re-discovering an energy for.

I've been thinking about TF and her chooks and Mr G and his music and Bridge and her bush re-generation ....... this really is an issue that I am passionate about. But it led me down some really destructive paths, and I've stayed clear of them for the last four years.

I can stay clear and avoid risk. Or I can throw myself into my passion and try to stay strong.

Any thoughts?

It's simple, really: your eyes are wide open, you are self-aware, and surely you've learnt from the past?

I say go for it.

Great thanks Missy B.
Now I'm a little confused...is the thing you're passionate about the discovering of why you started drinking uncrontrollably. Or the thing you're passionate about is the cause of said uncontrollable drinking??
I seriously think I'm getting stoopider as I get older...that's hardly fair...I think I've shrunk my brain.

:hallo: Angel - nice to see you!

TF: that Iris is stunning. It made me miss my Gran - it was her favourite flower. She would rather have a few Iris blooms than a huge big arrangement with other flowers.

The other thing I'll always remember her for was her Dahlias. People used to drive past their house to take pictures.

Quite an amazing old lady - she died shortly after turning 100. Always loved a slightly off-colour joke, but could be found gardening in a two-piece suit (including accessories), high heels and perfectly coiffed hair. Could still quote entire passages from Shakespeare at 90 and remember what her face powder cost in September 1957. Recollections from the day before could be vague, though

Anyways... I'm rambling...

I'm not sure that I'm strong enough yet. I've just in the last 2 months gone back onto anti-d's after having had a bit of a melt-down. Sometimes opportunities should be grabbed; sometimes maybe they should be put to one side???

No, me just not saying things clearly! I just got really involved with "a cause" and got really stressed about it, and used it as an excuse to sink my neck into a bottle.

Uhuh...I've suffered that kind of depression before - where I take on the ails of the world. Every abused child or war was like my own child or country at war.
As Tipster says, you know more about you now..maybe set yourself achievable goals, slowly slowly.
