HAPPY NEW YEAR FOR AN AF 2013!
yes its the New year here and a lovely sunny day where I am. I managed to sleep through the outside noise last night and it was not a bother after all. Must reflect the new calmness I have at the moment. I agree with your words of advice Kuya. My 14 year old daughter really hates public spaces with lots of people - esp when they are full of 'youths'. We are going to try to take in some historical stuff today - have a swim and a yummy lunch.

Great that you partied Kuya and had so much fun. An old friend said to me recently that I would always be the disco queen - even when sober. (eek - sounds frightening esp with a teenage daughter to embarass!).

So very sorry about your old dog, TDN.
Welcome back Mick and hope the headspace issues are manageable. I appreciated your humour last night!

Hellz bells - coffee tastes great these days.

And happys to Lavande, Can Too, Catbuddy, Det, Blondie, RC, Mollyka, SL, and all you other AF-Fab personages. Thank you so much for giving me a hands up during the past few months - my tougher times will probably come when I am back at work - so be warned!

Lots of hugs and sunshine from the South!

Happy New Year Treetops, Kuya and those still lagging in 2012

Like a broken record - was 43 degrees yesterday - so not much achieved. Couldn't watch my traditional Edinburgh Tattoo last night, so something else new to do for next Hogmanay! I think 2 weeks on a boat or in the outback is called for

Watched the fireworks but was relieved to get back inside away from mozzies and heat!

Hope everyone has a great and sober time.

:welcome: 2013

My wife went out shopping and brought home the escalator.
It was marked down.

What do you call a law student who tries to sue himself?
Self tort.

One says, "Does this taste funny to you?"

Two goldfish in a tank. One says to the other, "How do you start this thing?"

What's the difference between a woman and a terrorist? You can negotiate with a terrorist.

Two dogs walking down the street. 1st dog: "Do you use condoms?" 2nd dog: "Durex" 1st dog: "I asked you first."

I had a car crash the other day.
A dwarf got out the other car and said, "I'm not happy". To which I replied, "which one are you then?"

I swallowed some Tippex last night.
Woke up with a massive correction.

Happy New Year DAF'ers and I agree :welcome: 2013.

Long Term Goal - Protecting my Emotional Sobriety

This area of my life needs a lot of work and I am willing to reach out and ask for help.
I plan on being ProActive instead of ReActive so am meeting with my Sponsor today to work on "My Character Defects" and sort out this noise in my head. :H

Short Term Goal - Be physically active for 60 minutes every day.

I have joined Tipp on her "Diary of a Mad Housewife" thread so I can be accountable too.
Day 1 - Walk. Today I will explore a walking routine close to home so I can't make excuses not to do it.

Well I got to say I've got a "P"ositive feeling this morning for the New Year and that kind of surprises me. Not going to question it just going to go with it.

Have a great AF 1/1/13 all and all to come...PPQP

Morning afternoon and evening all,

TT the lovely thing last night was my daughter 13 1/2 overcame her embarrassment of me dancing and danced with me.....we had such fun. She is such a mature young woman,I am so proud of her.

Today has been munted as I went to sleep at stoopidoclock and woke at tea time so now it is nearly 1am and I am wide awake......ah well, no matter will catch up with myself soon.

Howdy Blondie......move to NZ, never too hot, never too cold.....lovely

Howdy Mick....do you know how long my dumb brain took to work out what hny meant.....kept thinking it was short for Hogmanay :H
Glad you are back on form..... But don't be shy to time out as and when.....this place should be a help not a chore that must be done.

Greetings to all to come......Cat, still no sausage in sight :upset:

Happy New Year, Fabbies!! and JACKRABBIT!!!

It's wonderful to look around and see you all here doing so well! Nothing is more important than for you to show up and be fully present for your own life so good on you for having the strength and courage to do it! :goodjob:

All is well in greenieland. Had a white Christmas up north am feeling a new appreciation for snowless roads. As for the past months, I'm happily puttering along doing the things that entertain me and learning to not do the things that don't. I think that's called looking for balance. Do we ever find it? Thankfully I never waver from my AF status, now 1 + 3 and something years.

A special hug for TDN :l Make it two :l:l Holding you and your pupper in a space of light & love.

Resolutions? Ride my bike more. Actually "practice" yoga outside the studio meaning roll the mat out at home. Practice quieting the mind and living from the heart and that sort of stuff.

Have a glorious year and watch out for potholes.

Good morning, all, and Happy New Year--hny!

Greenie, I was just thinking about you!!! I'm so happy you checked in. Have missed your posts. And thank you for the kind words.

PPQ--loved the YouTube thing!!! Wow--wouldn't we all love to be on that trip???!!! Thank you for sharing it.

I am really going to focus on being positive in 2013. Lavanitude for me And some P's from PPQ, too

It is supposed to get very cold here later today, so am going to get my butt out for a two mile walk around 10:00. After that, who knows? Am going to see if I can find Girl Interrupted on Netflix, as it was recommended on another thread. Would like to go to see Flight, but the closest movie theater is 45 minutes away, and not sure if this is playing. And really don't want to leave the Old Man (doggy) for too long. He is still in bed with Mr TDN, but want to be sure to be with him as much as possible.

Wishing everyone a wonderful first AF day in 2013. If Shue, LillyE, Sunnibutt, DoggyGirl are reading, hoping to see you all soon!
