AF APRIL 2010 - WEEK 3

[Chillgirl]

Good morning AFers
I hope everyone having a good start to the week.

Im expecting my ex to get back to me this week regarding our divorce and I have that nervous sense of anticipation in the pit of my stomach. Whatever happens, i have me and the sober me will find a way to work through the circumstances I find myself in no matter how challenging. Im sure one day i will look back on this week and see that it was the beginning of a whole new wonderful chapter....

Good morning Chill, Spuddle and all to come

Things have a way of working themselves out Chill. At least being AF you have a clear head and know you are making the right decisions. I am sure you will look back and see this as a new beginning.

Another beautiful spring day. Have spent the morning in the garage with hubby's car but did manage a lovely walk in the woods when I got back. It's so nice I want to be outside so I think I will tackle some painting, garage door, benches etc.

Have a great AF Monday and week everyone.

Good morning April friends,

Chill, I'm sending you strength & a whole lot of Lavan-itude to help you get through this week
I have no idea how the legal system works over there but have you retained a lawyer yet? Always good to have someone watch out for you besides us!

spud, the sober life does rock - everything is easier with a clear head & no guilt or remorse to battle with on a daily basis

Hi Rustop, it is a beautiful day here too! I will be getting outside this afternoon after I get a few small jobs done (have to keep my customers happy)

Greetings to all who check in today, make it a good one!

Chill, thanks for getting the week started! Hang in there getting through things with you ex. I just know you'll be fine. This too shall pass.

Sooty, I didn't have time to be on-line yesterday for a chat. I was busy living my 3D life. It was fun having our grandson over. We went down to the pond and fed the fish. I never did see my koi, but there were lots of blue gill and catfish!

Lav, Spud, IAD, Rust and all to come, have a great AF evening.

Hello April friends! Chill, I love your good attitude despite the uncertain sound of things. We are where we are. And as long as we're sober I think we are in a good place!

Lavan-itude. I love it!!

Sooty, what projects do you do involving beads? I love beady jewelry and I was in the craft store the other day and was :nutso: over all the cool beads and stones and stuff for jewelry making. I love my :bling and was thinking that would make a good hobby. I want to hear what you are doing!

I had a busy morning but am being lazy this afternoon. There is lots I *should* be doing but ...well, I'm not. And I'm not going to feel guilty about it either. What's a good afternoon of goofing off if I waste it feeling all guilty? :H

Have a great AF day one and all!

Good Morning Gang!
Sun is out, off for a cycle through the orange groves.

Had a meeting yesterday with my ex and looks like I will need to re think my ideas about moving right now, the economy has hit hard and some of our investments are not even worth what we paid for them. So instead of dreaming of my new life today I will count the blessings I have.

Sucessful people are those who always have a good plan B - watch this space!

Feeling positive and Spring like and like all is possible today - good day all to come.

Good morning all. I've was busy over the weekend with family and had a great time.

Chill, sorry to hear that your plans are changed. The economy hit our lives and moneywise we had to make many adjustments. It is not fun. But you sounded OK. How are you feeling? We are here for you and the weather sounds lovely.

Have a great day. Today, I commit to being AF.

Good morning everyone

Sorry things are not going to work out as you originally planned Chill but you sound very positive.

Star, I too commit to being AF today.

The weather is so nice out, I am trying to get as much done as I can so off for another stint in the garden. Have a great day everyone.

The person who sends out positive thoughts activates the world around
him positively and draws back to himself positive results.
--Norman Vincent Peale

That quote fits you, Chill! With all you are going through, you stay so positive! You help others through your positivity, as well as helping yourself.

Red, I am glad you had a full weekend with family. You are doing so well! Your story is proof that one should never give up giving up!

Rusty, are you planting a vegetable garden this year? If so, what kind of veggies?
Sooty, my peas are growing so slowly! I think we haven't had enough rain. I suspect they'll pick up as soon as we get a nice April shower.

Bear, I wish I could join you on your walk/run. Of course, you'd also have to add 'sit' to that because you'd have to sit and wait for me to catch up! I really enjoy the walking part, though!

DG, I know what you mean about looking at all those cool beads in the craft store and wanting to know what to do with them! Maybe I'll look for a class. When in the craft store, I am usually buying yarn or fabric. I've returned to old hobbies now that I have more time and focus. I'm currently making a "chemo cap" for my SIL who is undergoing chemo. The cap is a pretty lavendar color and a simple single crochet pattern that I really like. It is easy, but the pattern makes for a nice, flexible, stretchy weave.

Have a great AF day, one and all!

AF APRIL 2010 - WEEK 3

Good morning my lovlies, another beautiful day here so I've been out for a walk, put the washing out and am having five minutes with a cuppa coffee.
DG and Dill I make bracelets and necklaces mainly, which I then give away to people for presents! Go on to the bead and button web site and you'll get some ideas there - its a lovely hobby and very satisfying (altho there have been times when I've thrown the project against the wall :H) I am fortunate that I have a very patient and pleasant teacher - we are a small class of about 5 women who've been together for a while now so the social side is nice too - we exchange gossip about tv progs and that sort of thing.
I am so glad that we are all doing well here, I love the positivity that we all bring to this site even when things are tough for us.
I too commit to being AF today.
Have a good day gang
love Sooty
