AF Daily Friday 22 May

""I want to speak to the 'self-indulgence' that people seem to be feeling guilty about when their posts are self expressions about their thoughts 'on the journey'. (I have certainly posted about my journey frequently.) I am not looking to absolve myself, but think we should let go of that guilt.""

Thanks Hidden! I'm pretty sure all my posts are of the self indulgent nature! Unfortunatley I don't have time right now to take the notes and comment of everyone's comments. So......

DITTO what DG said. :H

I AM feeling better today. Good thing because I have a lot to do! I have never experienced vertigo before and it really sucks! The accupuncture takes it out of me too--I slept for 2 hours yesterday afternoon.

Truly--I love reading everyone's posts I hope you all have a lovely Memorial Day weekend!!:h

Just popping in quickly as dashing round trying to get ready for tomorrow's trip. Couldn't miss today and Doggygirl's one year party!!!!!!!!!!!! A huge Congrats to you DG, you are our inspiration!!!

Went out last night with fourteen other females for a meal and guess what.....I was the only one not drinking!!! I'm dead chuffed with myself! Mind you, I'm stressed out to the eyeballs this afternoon, don't know if I'm meant to be hoovering, cleaning the loos, or packing my case or keeping my mother-in-law company...or finding my husband's socks!! (long story.) Anyway, the thought crossed my mind, know what you mean Floppy with the mental battle but thats all it did, crossed my mind.

Will be away for a week, off to Grindelwald, to the top of the Jungfrau and all that fresh air!!! Lovely! Thanks for picking me up again this week everyone........much love, Janicexx

Thank you Greenie, Lavande, Speedster, com1, HG, Momof3, LVT, Janice and Deter for helping make this milestone such a special one!

Greenie - I really love those random happy moments that sort of don't belong but are so enjoyable. Beats the snot out of random pissy moments that don't belong. I used to mainly have those!

Speedster I had a chuckle over your doggy pushing you for a walk. That sort of drive and "give me what I want" attitude works well for Schutzhund dogs too!

HG - you are right. I shouldn't feel so guilty about just writing out my thoughts. That's a big part of what we're all here to share, right? Going forward I'll restrict my guilt feelings to the amount of space I take doing it! :H

LVT - did the accupuncture work? I had an accupuncture treatment when I first quit smoking. The guy who did it is apparently quite accomplished and does a lot of teaching on accupuncture. He told me straight up that a single treatment is intended to take the edge off during the first few days of withdrawl. I practically slept the whole time. I don't smoke any more so I'm grateful, whatever happened there.

Janice, have fun on your vacation!

Have a super day everyone. I'm off to the gym! :b&d:

and three big purrrrrrrrrs from here as well, from me, Wookie and Betty-Lou! What you have achieved over the last year is all down to you! And as many people have already noted, you are such an important and positive influence on here so thank you for that!

My absolutely madly busy time at work is coming to an end .... and taking a few days out next week to go and away and do some intensive report-writing -- hope to be back on a bit more regular basis after 2 June!! Looking forward to catching up with people again!!

I've had a really poignant day at the memorial service I started preparing for last weekend. Thoughts are in the process of forming on the theme of 'then and now' - how things have moved on for people in that group. I'm too tired now but will get to posting about it over the weekend. Booze plays a big part.

Way to go Loppy on the days and the thoughts. It's all coming together!!

I wanted to jump in during the 22nd to make sure I caught DG's anni. I love you too!! (for being an AF partygirl!)
