FIREWORKS - ANYONE WANT TO JOIN ME FOR 30 DAYS AF

Hi Firecrackers (and welcome back SweetPea!),

I get daily affirmations in my email that I try to think about during my morning quiet time. Here is one from yesterday that I wanted to share with you because it relates to what we are all trying to connect to -- that inner peace and balance that (I beleive) we all have in us.

Why does it take so much work???? I don't know the answer to that but I do know that my mind has been hard-wired into a way of thinking that has to be literally beaten back almost everytime a thought pops up. I am learning to let my soul do the thinking for me instead of me doing it. Seems like an easy concept when you read about it but in reality it takes a while to sink in.

Anyway.... here is the affirmation....

Today's Daily Word
Harmony
Peace fills my mind and heart, and I establish harmony in my life. By first establishing harmony in my own mind and heart, I naturally establish harmony in my life and in my relationships. I am a harmonious and peaceful presence as I interact with the people in my life. I understand that, in spite of seeming disorder, there is a universal harmony to life and I am an important channel of harmony in my family, my workplace, and my world.
Because I know that life is a cosmos of spiritual harmony, my thoughts take on a wisdom and peace about all things and all people. My interactions with others help convey this universal truth to my world.

?Lead a life worthy of the calling ... making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.??Ephesians 4:1, 3

Thanks for the affirmation. I love reading them; they really make me think about my own beliefs and where I want to be.

Went to the county fair for 7 hours today. I am completely dirty, sun burned, and exhausted. Must have walked at least a million miles in the almost 90 degree weather. It was nice to get out.

Have a great weekend.

Today woke up with a headache and feeling tired, (plus time of the month) dont know why!! Anyway busy day for me, got to take my son to a skateboard JAM session...the thing is its a outside park build in the 1970...the council i think wants to destroy it ....I do enjoy watching them skate...but the weather dont...look all that! at least there is a leisure centre behind if i need to keep warm....I dont think you can beat the america's when they build there skate parks...Last year we had dreamland ( Amercia company) over here build a outdoor concrete park in saffron walden the surface was so smooth i even slip with my trainers on...i know there doing a BBQ. so there be something to eat.. thats if it not burn.:H

Day 29 AF

Hi FC's,

At last at carpet laying stage at daughters, My arms shoulders and back aches like crazy!

Just wanted to say Hi and read up on the news.

Sweetpea that was a great post about the layers, when you get down to the inner ones it gets a little more tricky, and close to the bone eh!

Teardrop 6 days AF great! well done!
Not seeing hearing and feeling used to be preferable but someting has changed, I want to feel in control now of me not what others do to make me do what I did.
You stay strong in respect of you sister, you are doing your best! thats all we can do in life,just take a deep breath and let her rant as much as she wants YOU KNOW that you have done the right thing.
Hope you supper was'nt burnt at the skatepark in the BBQ!

Rustop "out of the mouths of babes" what a smart daughter you have,I will have to remember her statement it was excellent!

Maasai Lukalee is right you are an old and great soul, rich in wisdom.

Lukalee you are doing great, ODAT is how II have coped til now, I know you will get there.

Fby, My winged friend that Harmony affirmation is wonderful,As a Librian Harmony and balance is what I strive for in life......
I also watched the Metaphormosis film ,Everything in life has a sequence to follow, nothing but ourselves can alter the path or the pace it lasts, I want to be a butterfly and slough off the savage ugly beasts in life...........

Have a great weekend everyone

Just thought I'd check in on my buds.........partners in crime. How is everyone? I got an update from Eastender. I have not abandoned you, I read, but find it hard to post on so many threads. I have been "volunteered" in May to start the May Flowers thread each morning with words of wisdom. I don't know if I'm that wise??!
Im watching!

Teardrop, sorry about the sister; they can be such pain in the asses.
East, the big 30 tomorrow; I am so proud of you.

I have to tell you the weirdest crap. I wanted to go on Chantix to quit smoking, but my doctor had to cancel my appointment and has not called me back. So I figured, screw her, and I went back to my original idea of taking an herb called Lobelia. A few months ago I bought the liquid, but it tastes like crap, and I was a bit nervous about taking it because it can actually make you very sick and throw up. So, I bought the pill form today. I feel so loopy today (in a good way; I keep going into little self-hypnotic states). Anyway, this made me do a bit more research, because I had only done the non-smoking thing. Anyway, it is used for many, many things, including as a sedative and anti-depressent.
And guess what, usually Saturday is a big drinking day; couldn't care less about a drink.
And the big kicker, it was $8 for 100 capsules. I should take 1 three time a day, but until I get used to this I probably won't take so much........Now I just hope it actually works for the smoking. LOL But I figured this was a cheap experiment!

7days af

Hi ALL

OK i put my hands up my sister was right for jumping the gun! BUT my god does she goes on and on and on does not STOP. ITwas doing my head in and my headache and my brother that had the big bad hangover. He was out of work but got a job for one day last week not told me or my sister.....He got the cheque sent to him and cash it in the money shop....blow the whole lot....(.That nice he owe me lots of money and my sister.)
My sister did say sorry to me, so she could be chnaging a bit. I
I was thinking if my sister was on this site it would not be tough love just tough bitch from hell with no feelings...Did not like what she said to my brother. i'm a drinker so i understand. she has to be careful because going back quiet a few years ago he did OD himself.

Had a good day yesterday which nade up for it.

Frn,..im sure you will do well.
Lukalee..just show you what is cheap turns out good .
east..try and have a relaxing sunday with your feet up.

Day 30 AF

Lukalee Yes I have got to day 30 AF this is when it starts to get tricky, thanks anyway

Finally RN nice to hear from you,I love quotes, go for it in May.....

Teardrop, Well done on your 7 days AF ,so glad it turned out alright in the end.Sister apoligising.
Your brother was being a bit crafty but hell we have all been there havent we?
It sounds like your sister does not understand your brothers action the way you do, so I suppose its like a good cop bad cop situation. But in the main it seems to be working yes?

Hope all you FC's out there are doing OK.

:grouptrophy::important:roud: Well done East on your 30 days AF all the firecrackers are so proud of you. You have managed to achieve it even though you are going through a really rough time at the moment. Good on you my friend :l

Had a pretty rough weekend due to falling out with my daughter who now refuses to come and visit. Families can be a blessing or cause untold anguish and hurt. I seem to have the latter which is a huge trigger that I am trying to keep under control. Not easy when they break your heart. But still I need to get on with it otherwise I am going to spend the rest of my life feeling unhappy and unloved. Anyway enough about me I have cried enough tears this weekend and feel completely wrung out and if I keep thinking about it the tears will start again

FinallyRN I will definitely be checking the thread out in May - great to hear from you

Teardrop 7 days AF well done you are really doing well. Your sister apologizing is a good step forward - hopefully it means that she is mellowing if not changing a little. Sorry your brother blew all the money on drink - you really are doing your best so you can't do much more than that. As East says we have all been there and the desire to change has got to come from your brother in order for you to help him

Lukalee keep up with the experiment if it is working for you - I am a great believer in sticking with it if it helps and as you say it is not expensive. I have also heard that Kudzu is also supposed to help with curbing the desire for nicotine. As an ex smoker myself I know how hard it is to give up

Fby will take time out later to look at METAPHORmosis | One Minute Shift - if you have recommended it I know it will definitely be well worth while looking at

Maasai hope you are doing OK

Rustop hope you had a good weekend

Well my friends I am now going to set about the housework with a very heavy heart but will try and think about all the positives in my life. More importantly not let Big Al creep into my brain and start partying with him. I will do it - I will do it

Lots of love and strong vibes Sweetpea xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi FC's,
Just lost a very long postull
Thank you for your support everyone I know I could not have done it without you all.

Teardrop well done on your 8 days you are doing sooooo well !

Sweetpea,So sorry that you are having problems with daughter, they stab you and twist the knife without even thinking about it. I guess childbirth is never over just a different sort of pain.
As Hippie has on one of his threads goes something along the lines of" We are not humans on a spiritual journey, but spirits on a human journey"
You know thinking about that yesterday helped me to seperate myself a little more from my offspring.
My son I have not physically seen for over two years and is his birthday this week.
My eldest daughter whose flat I have been decorating for the last few weeks said" I never asked you to do anything" when her father showed concern over my health.
My 17 year old (when she bothers to come home is usually between 3-5am) announced when she moves out shortly will want nothing further to do with us. Refuses to tell us who she will be living with as its none of our business!

Well IF that that was'nt a test for me I don't know what would be!

Have a great day everyone

Love Eastxxxx

Hi Firecrackers

Had a hectic week-end so did not get near the boards. Managed to stay AF so pleased with that. They say friends are the families we choose for ourselves, we can substitute them for our inlaws but our own kids are a different matter, no getting away from them!! I have two teenagers at the moment and sometimes you need the patience of a saint.


Start of another week and hope its a good one for everyone.
