Good morning Troopers.

Today is mine and Chills last day in London and what a week its been. I have learned so much and am keen to put this new learning into practice once I am back in my day to day.
One of the main things I will take away from this is that our thoughts are ours and if we choose to think rubbish thoughts and make ourselves depressed, its our CHOICE. Therefore it figures that we can choose to think good thoughts and not go over the same old shite that made us feel rubbish in the first place.

I also had some sad news yesterday. Mr Starts called me to tell me a friend of mine had died. He attended the funeral on Thursday. He hadnt wanted to tell me before as he thought it would interfere with my studies. It was a big shock as she was only my age and she had breast cancer. She had battled it twice before and I thought she had beaten it. I had not heard from her for about 6 months and it seems that it came back in that time and she lost her battle. RIP Linda.

Good morning, Starty.

Sorry to hear about your friend's passing :l:l:l

Are you headed back home later today? Glad to hear you've had so much benefit from the course.

I've some stuff to do ahead of Mother's Day tomorrow. We're having my MIL & SIL and her family over as well, so it'll be a big cookup.

Ahoy there beautiful army-ites....great to be here

Starts, sincere condolences and warm thoughts to you for the loss of your friend, how truly sad and unnecessary. Sorry for your loss, hon.

I've just got off the phone from my daughter - that was most likely the first time ever we have spoken to each other without a '3rd party' (either a social worker or her evil foster woman)....and she is 14. I have waited many many years to have a conversation with her that was free and natural, and I am so very very very grateful, making what was possibly going to be the worst mother's day ever, into the BEST mother's day ever, by far....Only because I am sober was this gift able to happen.

I am on top of the world and we both (Mary and I) know it's only going to get better!!!

Wishing you all a restful and crap-free AF Saturday - it's moving into evening here x

Hi Kapone and happy mother's day to you. So nice you got to talk with your daughter i hoipe you have many more nice conversations. Day is just starting here. Just had coffee and muesli for brekkie and now a glass of orange juice. Going to try get some gardening done and wash my back door whuch the cats have filthy by jumping up to get in from the rain. its a double french door so i dread cleaning it its tiresome but hads to be done. Bloody garden is overgrown with weeds so i'll do it bit by bit over the next few days weather permitting lol. What an exciting weekend cleaning and gardening but cud be worse i cud be in a wheelchair or bedridden.
