I hate emotional stuff like that. But I will say that there is a danger in keeping things inside too. My wife and I rarely have a verbal argument, but things are far from ideal. Sometimes I think we need to argue a bit more, at least we would communicate beyond the surface pleasantries. You'd think after almost 25 years we'd have this marriage thing figured out.

Mystified....it's great to see you popping in my class thread.

Thank you all for listening to my rant this morning. I've been outside with the dogs this morning working on the porch. It needed to be cleaned and redecorated. It's my hang-out place so i like it to be pretty. I felt soooo blessed to have a place to be. Anyhoo, I just wanted to thank everyone for the love.

Sending love and hugs to Erfra and Finding. I totally understand and praying for you to find peace today.

we continue to think of you grtgrandpa and miss you!
we miss you courage2 and continue to think of you too!

Another animal that I am fascinated by, is the American Groundhog. On February 2nd (groundhog day), the groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, predicts if it is end of winter or not depending on if he sees he shadow. The groundhog's seasonal forecasting has only been correct 39% of the time. You would be better off getting weather predictions flipping a coin!



I always look forward to seeing each and every one of you here! I always get so much wisdom and love from this board! I hope to see you all again tomorrow!

SO big news...today I went to my best friend's wedding with OPEN BAR, and I didn't have one drink! There was a glass of champagne sitting in front of me and I politely asked the waiter for a Shirley Temple and he joked asking if I wanted a splash of vodka with it. I said No :-) Then my friend's dad asked why I was drinking coffee and I said I liked coffee. Really big accomplishment for me.

Thank you all for your ongoing support.
Day 22!

8:11pm in Midwest and had a successful day (meditated, ran, lifted weights, enjoyed the sunshine, and know enjoying some free/resting time). Eagerly content for another 24 hours.
