Gentle January ~ AF Week 1
Good morning to all...
So nice to get up and find all these posts. Remember, I live with two males, they don't talk in the am.
DarkestDiamond, thanks again for your well wishes for my son. He is doing better and better, even went out for dinner and a movie with a friend last night. I was thinking about your being in a good place at one time with AA, meditation, etc., and slowly going back to old ways. Letting stress take over. I have done the same thing in my life, and I guess the secret is to be mindful, not let ourselves go back down the road of HELL. Because for me drinking is hell. I have to really watch when I am tired and it is between 4 and 7 in the evening. That can be a harsh time for me. I am so hopeful that you are back on track, feeling better, and reaching out. We all need community and feeling understood and cared for. Drinking alcohol for all of us is isolating, not social at all. Are you going back to AA meetings? I hear that they are welcoming, like MWO.
DTD, looked up that quiche recipe, delicious!! You are doing great, so glad to have you back on the thread.
Rusty, stinks that your lunch was cancelled, everything is so iffy when the weather is like this. We were predicted to get another 12-18 inches of snow, really cold temps, so I do not know if I will venture to work if it is that dangerous. However, it seems at this early time that the weather people have once again exaggerated snow amounts. I did clean the middle room, but have not yet moved the elliptical, will ask my husband to help me.
Pap, I agree with you the weather people are over the top. The only solution is to not watch the weather. You have such a great attitude, you are like a breath of fresh air to the rehab people I bet. My good friend who had stents put in is not doing as well, Surprise, she is still smoking. I guess it is the same as drinking and continuing to feel unwell. Honesty, and willingness to make change is the only way to get better. Your last post cracked me up and inspired me as it seemed like you were an explorer on a mission to a new country. Health, exercise, eating in a new way. I loved the fact that you have enjoyed being at home with your doggies. I feel the same about my kitties in the winter, we cuddle and keep each other warm. Animals are the best!!!
Lav, I had a Mexican food theme last night myself, and it was delicious. Just trying to get through the day with good food, warmth and gratitude. Thanks for the great websites.
Jolie, the baby shower sounds as if it will be so fun. I am excited for you. I miss LBH, Chill, and others from the past too. Glad you came back.
Have a great Sunday.
