Morning all its a lovely fresh one here sunny if a bit cool and windy but its dry. My daffodils are up a few days they survived the stormy weather we have had. Going to get some spring/summer plants this weekend and some potting compost. Off out shortly to pay a few bills and get some grocery shopping. Have a terrific Thursday. I slept a bit better last night didn't wake till after 7am which is better than 4 or 5 am silly o clock. Dreamy is late today may be she the sleep fairy big time.:cupajoe:

Hope you feel better soon Mrs A I get the flu jab each year but I still get the odd sniffly cold and sinius problems. I've been tired a lot lately too but hopefully after last night my sleep pattern will keep improving. Be back later.

Trying to sync my body clock with Joe's --- as things stand - he gets up at the crack of dawn and goes to bed at dusk and I'm the other way round --- so we're playing tag lately really --- reckon if I'm up early I'll want to go to bed early --- well - that's the PLAN!!!That pretty much the story chez Satz - kinda like room-mates these days - but hey after 30o dd years we're doing well :H:H

This I thought I'd share - rings true with me now for shopping & eating shite - but could also be used when looking at the grog too !!!
************************************************** *************************

Consuming to Heal - Filling Imaginary Voids
by Madisyn Taylo
The need to fill an imaginary void by shopping is a symptom of disconnection from our true selves.


In our culture today, we are constantly encouraged to consume. This includes food as well as purchasing ever newer items that we may not need, often using money that we may not actually have. It could be that we are trying to fill a void we feel within ourselves, but if we take the time to examine it, we know deep inside that this is not the solution. We may notice how quickly the joy fades after our purchase or once the food we’ve enjoyed is gone, and how soon we feel the urge to do so again. This is a symptom of disconnection from our true selves, so the first step toward balance is connection to our center.

When we connect to our center, we access the fullness of who we are as an individual spirit. We also connect to the energy source of the universe, from which nothing can be lacking. It could be that we have been energetically starving ourselves but trying to feed the need physically, outwardly. Once we make the decision to reconnect, we have the ability to examine the behavior from a higher place within ourselves. We can look, without judgment, at the thoughts and feelings that occur before and after our indulgences to find a pattern. We may want to keep track of these observations in a journal so that we can go back if we lose our way.

Often boredom is the main cause for the desire to eat or shop. But when we connect to our center, our intuition can more clearly guide us to the places where our energy can best be used. We can replace the boredom with a meditation practice, a class, a project, seeking a new job, or getting involved in a charity. We may even want to begin planning an adventurous trip. Whatever inspires us tells us the direction we should go. When we find the place we are meant to be, we become so consumed by its constant creation that the frivolous filling of an imaginary void becomes a thing of the past.

It will . But - you have to give it time. There don't seem to be any miracle cures, unfortunately.

All your talk of flowers is making me very jealous! The Polar Vortex had returned to the middle of the US and it is COLD. Any daffodils that were crazy enough to poke their heads out would be dead, I'm afraid, so I hope they stay in hiding for awhile.

Have a nice day, NS

PS I liked your post about consumption, Satz. One thing nice about getting older is realizing how little value stuff has.
