morning all, I'm up earlier than Mick,what's going on?
Day here sober for me - did really good self dev course yesterday at work,, about developing yourself 360 as a person,naturally I'm a feeler/thinker which means when under stress I need to do the create/believe activities to balance myself out, e.g. exercise,gardening,art,cooking,faith,yoga,religion ,meditation.Also at the root of it all is my need for approval, which I need to deal with and sort out as it's holding me back.

Interesting, and some of those things definitely work for me.She also identified that I am creative but not doing creative activity,I think because I just don't see myself that way.

Anyway - work very difficult with my two people, working to hang onto my confidence and strength,working at home this am as car in garage - hoping in a way it's out of action all day so that I can't go in today.Meeting with tricky person planned for today - in some ways be good to move to Monday,but we'll see.

One thing is that I know that alcohol just makes it all worse,I was so so anxious on Sunday,yes I'm still anxious,but at a much more manageable level.
Have a great day everyone.

I managed to remove a splinter with my fingers. Unfortunately the rest of the Ninja turtles kicked the shit out me.

"Tractor?"

"Not yet, but the police have started looking for her as well."




I'm thinking about going into business selling shoes but I'm not sure whether I should set up as a partnership or a sole trader.


My parents taught me all about time travel when i was a child. Quite often they told me they would like to knock me into the middle of next week.

Good morning Abbers,

Greetings bear & thanks for the start up
Anxiety can get crippling, I do understand that. I had some level of anxiety going on all through my life. We all need to find our own way to manage it & you will, just keep trying.
For me it was dropping the negative thinking & adopting an attitude of gratitude. I worked real hard on that & only then I was able to give AL the boot forever

Mick, you live in a great big salad bowl buddy :H :H
Very nice & neat garden there!!!! Mine is a bit messier but it is feeding me & anyone else who stops by. With all the rain we've had lately things are growing alarmingly fast & large. I grabbed a handful of cherry tomatoes yesterday afternoon to toss on top of my vegetable couscous for dinner

Greetings to everyone - hope you are feeling better PQ!
I'm off to Curves then to pick up my grandson - oh boy!!!
Have a great AF Hump day everyone!

Morning all!!
nice cool morning, thank goodness. Got to play some tunes last night and realized just how tired I'd gotten myself, but seems I wasn't smart enough to get to bed in a reasonable time.

Bear, interesting post, hope you keep at it! Don't know whether you've followed G-Man posts in the class he's been taking, worth a read or two.

Mick, beautiful greens and garlic. Be careful posting pics of the garlic, you might find Det on your front step one morning!

How you doing Lav, nice change of temps, eh? Have fun with your grandson!

waves to all stopping by

MAE ALL.....

Well whatever hit me has gone and I'm back to 100%.
Scorching temps (33) for us here as we're not used to it.

Hey Bear we did the same self dev course at work. Can't remember what I was as we did the colors as well. Gonna have to get those notes out now and find out. Good Job on I think you meant 4 days. You're heading in the right direction, keep going.

Mick, yup brew it is feeling fine. Perhaps another greenhouse build is in the future? Your garden looks great and so organized.

Lav...hope you had a great day. Yup attitude of gratitude is the way to go.

Sam...you can send the cool mornings back to Canada please. Hope your day was good.

Cheated and picked up Bourbon Chicken on the way home so must be off to eat.
Hope you all have a relaxing hump day evening.....PPQP

Well now - I read to the end of Micks thread and did not notice that Bear started us off today!
I had a management coach assigned recently and just had a session today where she went thru a couple of different profiles that she ran on me - they are interesting - I had done one (Myers Briggs) a decade or so ago, and it was interesting to see that I had managed to change a bit with my managerial development - I need to go and find the details of that one and see how much I have grown. I am a knower in one (purple PPQ), and a sensor/thinker in the other....
