September to Remember - Week 2

Wishing my September friends a good night.

Pnut & Dill, I'll be with you both in spirit thru the weekend! I sincerely hope you both find peace in remembering your loved ones.
And yes Dill, I am a persistently - stubborn person. I have been told, more than once that I am my own worst enemy. Geez! I just think of myself as dedicated

Sooty & Sunni - busy days really are the best, aren't they?

Good night all, take care!

Lav, I came across this quote from John Quincy Adams which immediately reminded me of you!

"Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish."

Good morning all,

Dill, thank you for the quote. So John Quincy Adams had the same affliction???

It's very dark, very damp here in this part of the nest this morning. I just heard we're under a tornado watch! Think I just might pull my wing back over my head and go back to sleep

Have a good day everyone, I'll check in later if I'm not blown away!!

Hello september gang, fab day here, weather absolutely gorgeous - are you listening Lav?
Daughters friends ate us out of house and home and have now gone back - husb and I went for long walk with our friends today, up hill and down dale coast walk with superb views. Very uplifting. Lunch in the pub where an orange juice and soda went down very nicely - my favourite non-alchoholic drink I think.
Hope everyone had a lovely friday. Lav hold on to your perch, hope you dont get blown away, just take care and keep safe.
Much love to everyone for a contented and AF weekend
talk later

Sooty, walks can indeed be so refreshing, good reminder that we can lift our spirits with small things.
Lav, glad you're tornado resistent as well as persistent. Nothing wrong with dedication.
LBH, where have you flown to??? Inquiring minds want to know. East, west, over an ocean??
Dill & Peanut, I'll be thinking of you over the weekend. Grief is individual but I take comfort in knowing that I'm not the only one caught up in the cycle of life moving on, doing its thing. I'm not sure why it rains, then pours, but there we have it. I got a call today that my uncle has passed on. He was our closest remaining relative. I don't have a date yet for the funeral. His daughter lives in Australia and won't be able to fly in til next week. Meanwhile I'd made a decision to ease up on the paperwork and start getting out of this house. I'm sticking to it. Tomorrow I'm off to an expo on interior design to get some ideas on how to start changing the decor, should I decide to keep the house. Then I'll do some cooking for my aunt and check up on her on Sunday. Life DOES go on...

Oh Pam, blessings on you! Goodness, I don't know what to say! Sounds like you do have a good plan in place though, I'm glad for that. Please be sure to do what's best for you, take care of yourself!

I am thinking of Dill & Pnut today as well as remembering all of the souls lost 9-11. Time for some quiet meditation I think.

Be well everyone.

September to Remember - Week 2

I'm the first one here this morning???
Is everyone sleeping the day away?

Sooty, the nice weather must still be with you. It's dark again this morning & threatening rain again. We had over 2 inches of rain yesterday, geez!!!
Well, guess I'll get started on some indoor projects, thinking about baking something yummy

Wishing everyone a great AF Saturday!

Hi everyone. Yes Lav the nice weather is still here and its absolutely gorgeous. Going out for a walk later with an old friend and planted onion sets this morning ready for the spring!
Things are so much easier when the sun shines!
Hope we're all having a good weekend. See you later

Hey September friends,

Where the heck is everyone?
Sooty, glad you stopped in - thought I was alone in the universe
Enjoy your pleasant day, you deserve it!
We have a promise for some sunshine this afternoon - can't wait
Have a good day one and all!

Hi lovely Lav good to see you too. I posted on the newbies nest that I had a drink last night but not intending to repeat the experience tonight!
Hope you managed to get some sunshine, it really is wonderful here - its been about 70f today, you needed sunblock cream!
Gotta pop out this evening but I'll call in as soon as I get home

Hi Sooty, just the two of us around this weekend?? Kind of strange.............
I just posted on the newbies nest myself. Having a glass or two is not a problem - provided it doesn't make you want to have many, many more........ If you can be a successful modder then be happy. I just know that I can't consider modding yet, if ever. The sun did pop out today, it was pleasant

Well, I hope we see a few others tomorrow, starting to miss everyone.
Have a good evening one & all!

Hi Lav, yes it is peculiar only just us being on here - hope everyone is having fun and just being too busy to post.
Thanks for your kind words but I'm going for abstinence again, I can't just do one or two I know it will lead to trouble so nothing for me last night and I'm going to see just how far I can get with this.
Its funny how I can go for quite a few days and then suddenly - wham - but I guess that's what this battle is all about.
Hope you have a great Monday and that we are not alone for much longer
Sooty

September to Remember - Week 2

Well, I am certainly glad you two kept the home fires burning for me! I had no opportunity to post for most of the weekend and when I did finally get time, I just couldn't do it. It has been harder on me this weekend than I thought it would be and I did not make it through without drinking, to top all off. The grief was overwhelming and will linger.

I thought of you and this thread, even though I didn't have time to post. You kept me from going "too far". Thank you.

Today I return to the routine and hopefully will be able to get some sense of 'normal' going for myself. I'll check back later.

September to Remember - Week 2

Good morning September friends,

Dill, I'm so sorry you weekend was so rough. Sooty & I have been thinking about you & sending you strength.
It's a new day, a new week, a good time to get back to routines and the safety/comfort they provide us.

When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight. ~Kahlil Gibran

Will check in later, have a good day.
