:hallo: Army

Mrs. T must have sensed JCs meatball making. She asked me if I could make some for dinner. I obliged. Will have to wait and see if there's anything in it for me.

Is the snow very heavy, Satzuma? Hope it doesn't affect the roads. The merest hint of rain in Cape Town causes traffic chaos.

Have a nice time our girl -- glad I don't have to go see anyone tho --- in anti-social mode here!

Was just thinkin bout that lady yesterday I was tellin ye about --- yeah --- it was awful sad --- sadder cos I didn't get the impression she was still grieving as such or suffering from depression --- she'd just given up --- considered she'd had her innings so to speak ---- I s'pose any one of us can do that --- or we can whip our asses and be so bloody grateful to be here at all --- I do think that any of us here that 'got' this alcohol thing later in life (maybe 40+) have an advantage in that we wasted a lot of our prime years and now (if we have the right mindset post-alcohol) we are goin to whoop it up in our latter years --- my brain can be very child-like --- and that can be a disadvantage at times --- but at other times -- it's ready for 'adventure' --- and I don't mean 'doing' adventures --- just letting our minds be happy and excited by things instead of jaded --- just my thoughts anyhow --- I love being 57 and in recovery --- I have regrets --- they don't cripple me --- but I have SO MUCH to be grateful and happy about --- that woman would never get that...... sad

Molls know ye prob don't mean this for me...but...it hits on something...not sure what

Feels like I need me ass whipped to be more grateful and willing to seize life and all it throws my way. Instead...jaded and weary is what I so often feel.

And yes, I do believe it's harder when you're younger --- we've done the dancing on tables --- (speaking for myself) done the daft stuff --- and now it's time to move on...... deffo not aimed at you --- AT ALL!!!!!!

:H:H Didn't mean that to sound like 'you talkin to me?!' ....whilst donning me boxin gloves:l

It just has touched a nerve or summat - I'm not convinced age makes it easier or harder....I've done the dancing on tables, fall down the stairs, puke in strangers houses/cars, other unmentionables :blush:etc...dread to think if had carried on what or where I would've ended-up!! Actually, do know if had of carried on drinking the way I was wouldn't be seeing my 40s never mind 50s.

Just need a kick in arse to inject some gratitude and less fear of the world!!

Sweetiepeapie, it's happened to me so often - a random remark on the boards that just suddenly hit home for me. One of the reasons I'm such a thread slut - I read everything, incl Meds and Mods - there are gems everywhere.

:bedtime: here - good night and sweet dreams after the various meat balls and stews! :l:l:l
