^^^^^^^ YES!
It's hard. Really hard. But just by being willing and trying has got to be a start. Yes?
Our heads were in the sand when we drank away our worries and that achieved sweet sod all so this is massive for us Weaver. Go you! Go us!

Willingness is everything. :) ♥
Well, it is the beginning of everything.

For about 10 seconds there, I thought we should pull together a team and do Tough Mudder in 2018. Then I watched the videos. I wish I could embed one for you to see... I never really liked mud anyway.

https://youtu.be/RvnVpvb4pd8

The marketing says "join a tribe of 3million+" and I thought "I've joined a global tribe of 20 million+".
How cool is that?
This is like Tough Mudder x 1,000,000
Anyway, enough out of me. Bed :grouphug:

Neoo 01-22-2018 02:00 PM

Not fond of mud either Weev lol nite nite :hug:

WeaverBird 01-22-2018 02:02 PM

You were my main hope Neo!!!! Team captain for sure :hug: Let's keep our hair nice and shiny

venuscat 01-22-2018 02:03 PM

I vote Goat for team captain :)

Neoo 01-22-2018 02:04 PM

I need another 24 serene & peaceful hours please. :)

Purplrks3647 01-22-2018 02:25 PM

Another 24 here too, please! :thanks

PhoenixJ 01-22-2018 02:38 PM

Neoo- no you are not a disaster. You did what you have to do- did not touch booze, you are spreading your professional wings and trying new stuff..a new life. I know this is a poor analogy (or whatever) but consider this..I have had 8 addresses in the last 2 years. The hardest 2 of my life. No family, money, possessions or home. I am waiting for the new unit- which took a lot of effort and hard work to reach..the housing people took a long time to agree to me being allowed into the whole game- be-c I am co-titled on the family home I have not seen since my burns.
I was told end of this week I will move in. I spent 15 hours that day- packing and cleaning. First thing Monday morning- I was told it is delayed- because that is what happens in large organisations, be it paper work or staff or whatever.
I cannot change this- so with clumsy grace I accept it, and focus just on today- the next hour, the next meal- the next activity.
My life is not over. Memories and thoughts and feelings do not change what has happened. The die is cast so I have to wait.

Now- it is a poor comparison be-c your stuff is courts and stuff. But you have done so well up to now, being upset is natural, but your life is still there- we are still here..the world still turns.
Now hopefully, I can keep with my oh so wise words- if there are any more delays!
Support to you my friend. Give yourself some breathing space..go and treat yourself to some really great food, or a movie or whatever.

Tough mudder is awesome!! I've done it for the last 4 years. Incredible experience ... even when getting electrocuted, swimming in ice and crawling through tear gas. I love it. But then I'm probably just on the wrong side of crazy. I'll be doing it again this year. It's fantastic. Let me know if anyone wants to join my team. Tough mudder isn't timed so everyone helps everyone round the course and it's not competitive. It really is fabulous. Honest xxx

Neoo 01-22-2018 02:56 PM

Phoenix thank you so much mate you made me see things more clear. We all have things going on as you do as well..I am sending you my best mate and thanks again for your support and friendship..sending you a man hug :)

Neoo 01-22-2018 02:58 PM

Sleep time nite nite :grouphug:

Yes darling Weev, that is what it's all about....reaching into that dark tunnel and giving someone a hand, just because we can.

I have spent a lot of years listening to people question the meaning of life.
It has always baffled me.....we are here to care for each other and the planet. The meaning in that is just huge. As Kris just said to me on the phone....love makes everything go. :)

:hug: ♥

Gosh, all you guys have me crying for happy and crying for sad. And somewhere in the middle we just live our lives and somehow actually flourish. Together we do it.

Love you lil cat. Love you little chickadee.

Neoo, you'll get through the 24th just like I will. lol. We just sometimes have to Let Go Let God.

Love all of you!

I'm about to do the same here Neoo.

Just knowing we're all in this together makes it okay. Whatever it is. We're never alone.

I felt the most incredible love today and you know who you are(s). :)

Buns that are a bonded pair are like a married couple. They are best furiends and groom each other and explore together and snuggle up. They share the house Rabbit experience 💜. I can't figure out how to upload a pic from my phone?!
Sleep is the best medicine in life.

...and laughter. Feel better. I think I'm coming down sick, too. Not a very good time with all on the horizon.

Kris47 01-22-2018 03:15 PM

Thank you God in advance for WEllness.

Neoo had to deal with the stuff we all have to deal with...and sometimes the cops come. A bit of a punch up and someone phoned the police.....

He is going to be fine because he has done the right thing every step of the way here..... ♥
