Good morning everyone Roy... I thank you also for those inspirational words. You deserve another Heart... if you'd like company, I will bring my chair along with me and sit beside you in that peaceful scene. We can talk, or I will just listen, or we can be quiet, whatever you need. Weezy... to see you here and continue pushing forward. You're doing it! Hi tmr... I like your "Enjoy every moment" message. Very good advice! blocked due to malware/_9Qcuj1qVI20/TAJw1CoQt-I/AAAAAAAAAvU/Tr8qEjc18BU/s1600/Smile+Quotes.gif[/img]

Anybody know a good vacuum cleaner-psychologist? My dirt devil seems to have the blues... or the lazies.... Or a burnt motor "I get by with a little help from my friends..."

Thank you everyone Just so you know my addictions took me to a very dark, horrible place. Several times contemplating ending it all. Call it being to chicken or a glimpse of sanity (I'll go the latter) it never materialized. As a result of getting clean/sober, I really do try to enjoy every day, live life fuller. These quotes I post really are from the heart, something I read or wrote that touched me. I pass it on in the hopes it touches someone else. In 12 step we say "I cannot keep what I'm not willing to give away" Thanks, you've brightened my day

Last few days have been tough for me. Not quite sure why. Taking my meds and stuff. Sunday it was rainy and dreary. Sunny the last two days. Hopefully my mood will perk up.
Sometimes it is so hard to keep those dark thoughts out of my mind.

Good morning. Mizbear, my wife (who is bi-polar and a recovering Alcoholic) had one of those nites as well. It happens, tossed and turned a couple bad dreams. May the rest of your day settle into peace.

PRESSURE!
Do you know the only difference between a piece of black coal and a priceless diamond is the amount of pressure it has endured? How you handle your adversities will make you or break you.
If you get bitter and lose your enthusiasm, you will allow the difficulties of life to bury you. Challenges can keep you from your God given destiny unless you make the choice to shake them off and step up.
When you know you are planted and not buried, you keep pressing forward with a smile on you face. God will not allow a trial to come into your life unless He has a purpose...
He doesn’t send the storms, but He uses them. When you’re in difficult times, know that this challenge was not sent to destroy you. It was sent to promote you, to increase you, to strengthen you. you may not see how it will do that, at first, but God has a way. He sends adversity to bring out potential we didn’t even know we had.
Like the seed that has been planted with the dirt, remember the same dirt trying to bury you can be the soil that helps you rise. You have comeback power. You’ve been created to overcome every obstacle, to rise above every challenge. You will see God’s blessings bloom in your life in ways you’d never dreamed possible.
Always remember... "Your best days are in front of you." ~Joel Osteen

It must be in the air. I usually sleep pretty well but not last night. Up a lot and just could not any rest.
Today is the only day I get 1 hour to myself. All 3 kids are in school, DD who is 3 goes to preschool one day a week with me and one by herself. DS#2 is 5 but we are keeping him in special ed preschool (he is nonverbal autistic) and DS#1 is 8 in 3rd grade.
Went for a walk with the dog and enjoyed the beautiful fall day.

For Sparkle's flowers!
Worship Without Words I worship in silence, in the quiet sounds of nature. I am not guided by words and thoughts but by awe and wonder. I tune into the beauty that surrounds me. I see the true nature of soul and its many manifestations. Life beats a quiet drum beneath all that is apparent for me today. I listen, look, hear and see. I am part of the mystery. I see soul in nature. Like two cathedral towers these stately pines Uplift their fretted summits tipped with cones; The arch beneath them is not built with stones, Not Art but Nature traced those lovely lines. And carved this graceful arabesque of vines; Listen! the choir is singing; all the birds, In leafy galleries beneath the eaves, Are singing! listen, ere the sound be fled. And learn there may be worship without words. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Thank you for the beautiful flower and poem. I loved them both.
Today I share a B-Day with MizBear! So even though some things are seriously messed up in my life I am choosing to be happy and have a good day.
I hired my DS#2's para to come stay with him before day treatment, took a bath with DD and played with her. Put makeup and jewelry on and dressed up. (at least for me LOL)
Took DD and went out for coffee ( I love birthday freebies, okay I love all freebies) went to DSIS's house, went to lunch with DD and DSIS then DSIS kept DD. That is nice it saved DD 2 hours in the van to drop DS#2 off and pick him up from day treatment.
On a good note it looks like transportation will be reinstated for DS#2 next week. YIPPEE!
