Thank you Obo and ST, for this morning's inspiration! That's set my day up beautifully!
I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with work at the moment, trying to squeeze in some down time where possible. Only another two weeks, and things should start to calm down.
My worst enemy is me - I can't seem to say "no" to stuff. Everything seems like a good idea at the time, then after saying yes I realise how much work I've just landed myself in. It's almost like the "yes" is an autopilot. I might have to change the autopilot!
Chick, well done for not letting that speed bump derail you completely, you're back on track now.
Have a great day everyone.

not sure if these are current but it's what comes up when you add attachments
bmp 29.3 KB
gif 97.7 KB
jpe 29.3 KB
jpeg 29.3 KB
jpg 97.7 KB
png 48.8 KB
psd 48.8 KB
but...you can upload to a filesharing place like photobucket and paste here from there....or simply paste URLs in IMG tags....with no size limits.

Hang in there Chick. I was there a short time ago. You're still making great progress.
I posted this on the gratitude thread(I think my first post there) but I guess I'll post it here too since I went through the trouble of image hosting to downsize the image file.
Full recycle bin without a single wine bottle or beer can. It's a small thing but it always makes me happy.

ST I've been having problems uploading pics too when I tried today. I googled "free image hosting" and used the first one that popped up. Can't remember the name but it's fast and easy. When I said that I "went through the trouble" I was exaggerating.

Saw the airport mishap on the tele . You guys are having a heck of a winter with all the snow !?!
Not sure about the reporter's description as * ominous* weather though. That may be a little over the top, ....esp. in relation to the folks living in the U.P of Mich. ( with their 200 plus inches of snow every year )
Have fun tomorrow Obo !!! ......playa' gotta' play
Freein,...sometimes I wish I would've said "no" to some projects I hatch for myself. Thought about something you said months and months ago about overcoming procrastination and just starting a project ( even if for only 5 or 10 minutes.) This was 3 days ago, and have started grinding the loose paint off the exterior clapboard on a little 12 x 22 ft building. So far, so good.
Managed an hour or two everyday. May have to dodge rain tomorrow, but Sat, and Sun look good.
My weekend started today, so,,,...... all in for the bargain.

Obo, I hate to break it to you but you ARE cool!
Tops, I've been wondering if your eye and your smile are back to normal yet. I know it usually takes some time, but you sound incredibly energetic despite it!
I'll be joining you for my weekend bargain tonight.
Solil, I also get a huge kick out of our recycling container! I used to so embarrassed every week, but now it's displayed with pride! Thanks for the pic.
The quote on my calender was nice yesterday so thought I'd share:
(It's from Paulo Coelho, the Alchemist)
"The secret of the future is here in the present. If you pay attention to the present, you can improve upon it. And, if you improve on the present, what comes later will also be better...
Each day, in itself, brings with it an eternity."

Obo,.... was there ever any doubt on your state of chill,.. mate !??
Teacher,...and a musician !?
....and sober !?!!
Freein, thanks for asking. Everything seems ok.
Gotta keep moving here,.... not much time for convalescing at my age !
Really love the quote btw,... just what I needed this morning before some more grinding .
The disc grinder weighs only 8lbs but starts feeling heavy as a toddler sooner or later. Didn't start losing my composure for about five hours.
Girly weights may be working !?
Have a great weekend y'all.

Thanks Dee, hope you have a good weekend too.
Saturday morning here.
I'm spending most of the weekend tightening up this training course, lots of tweeks and practice. Hoping to feel more confident by Monday. It's definitely a good experience, but I wish I knew when "enough is enough". How do you know when something is good enough? There always seems to be something you can improve or add.
At least I'm home doing it and not at work, plenty of peppermint tea on tap!
Hopefully by this evening it will all be finished.
ST, glad to hear your therapy session went well.

Long week. I'd be willing to do a house exchange, haha. It's going to be in the 90s out here in the southwest this week. I miss the snow!
Glad to hear things are looking up ST!
Glad to know I'm not the only one who compulsively drinks pellegrino and perrier in sobriety Soli.
Good luck with all of the projects top and free!
I begin my spring break this week. Which really just means I can finally get to unpacking all the boxes from my move. It'll be good to get some spring cleaning done though. In for the bargain this weekend!
