Mick, enjoy your last full day on vacation. Sorry it was a tough day yesterday, grief is like that. I was thinking the toughest part of getting older is loss of family and friends. It hurts. And yet life is sweet at the same time, what a mystery everything is.

Morning Mick and Snoop....and MAE All to come....

Mick....thanks for starting the thread and I hope today is a good one for you guys. Your comment yesterday reminded me of an article I once read. Instead of typing it all out, google Grief comes in waves....I found comfort in those words.

Snoop...how true your words. At one point we would redo my Dad's address book and remove all the people that he had crossed off. No need to see that reminder every time he looked up a phone number.

Pauly...I get MWO notifications on my phone but never use it to post. Way to small for me and my gloves get in the way. LOL

Sam...glad you took the time to post, seems everyone is busy this time of year but more so for ranchers. I saw that heist on the news, I couldn't believe how much that maple syrup was worth!

Gman...hope you have a great day.

Lav...had a very good day yesterday, the spaghetti sauce was a hit and the evening with friends was just what I needed.

SF...I still use my phone as a phone and to get certain notifications. It's tiresome keeping up with all the technology changes.

All obligations have been met and today is a free day for me. Haven't decided what to do yet but will start with breakie.
Hope everyone has a fabulous day before new years eve day.....:smile:PPQP

Life is like toilet roll...the nearer the end the quicker it seems to go ��

Hi everyone. I have returned from our holiday and I just didn't want to have anything to do with the internet so stayed away from MWO. I now see that there are more dramas on the site. As if there are not enough in real life - although I think I will spare the toilet analogy Mick! safe travels and it will be uneasy for you setting back into the routine at home - but you are very good at getting back into the swing of things - its one foot before another. That is how I got out of bed this morning.
I have suffered I guess a serious mental collapse and still am very fragile. I am now on anti-depressants - this was necessary in my case as I was getting into very dark places. Sometimes its just not enough to snap out of things or put on a positive spin, or do meditation or whatever. My family was very good to me over Christmas and I made the effort for them too. We went to a lovely peaceful spot, ate good healthy food and went on walks. Now my daughter is away for New Years with her pals, as it should be. If anything I have to protect her and make sure she is strong and safe and happy - so thats an incentive for me not to go completely mad. She cant get on with her life if she is worrying about me. My Mum passed her burdens on to me and although it was from love, the guilt and pain never really left me. So I dont want my daughter to inherit that fro me. As I build my own strength back I am exploring my options but its not looking too pretty at the moment.
Good to catch up with all of the gang -Mr G, Pauly,Mick, Lav, PQ, Sam, Pie and hi there Snoopy. I need to stay connected with you guys while we can (I am thinking of MWO's own problems). Yesterday I saw myself looking rather too long at a billboard for Canadian Club and that is not a good sign. Fortunately I was driving on a motorway and I sped past (well I didn't speed!).
Be good everyone.
