Congratulations Sunflower79, Gilmer and Purpleknight - incredible milestones. Hope everyone is ok and having a great day. 24 more for me please xxx

Oh, yes... I remember what I was going to say. I was sitting at my desk earlier and was chatting to this guy who had come in for a meeting. He was telling me that last weekend, he got to the airport late, missed a flight and it had cost him a load of money. I said, 'Oh no! Did you feel really angry with yourself?' He looked confused and said, 'No. Would that have helped?' Really made me think. Love to everyone xxxx

I had the same thing last night! Dreamt that I was drinking and in my dream I was trying to figure out if I had lost my sobriety or not- it was awful! It was almost a dream within a dream.

So glad it wasn't real, for both of us. Have a great day- that guy spoke some wise words- resentment, anger and self loathing don't help a thing!

How funny that we both had similar kinds of dreams!! I thought about you the other day. I was feeling really anxious about my kid getting bullied and suddenly I felt really, really calm. I thought, 'I wonder if Sunflowerlife just sent me some reiki'. I know you probably didn't but just that moment of thinking of you and remembering that there are people like you in the world made me feel much happier. Hope you have a lovely day xxx

Hey, has anyone heard from Jo? I don't remember seeing her on the thread for a few days. Hello Jo!! Hope you are ok xxxx

I'd like to share this song with you. I find it helps if I'm ever feeling low and tired of this ongoing battle we're all in.

Aw...I'm glad I popped into your head Kenton.
And those are really sweet words to say, you are a pretty special person too, that makes this world a better place!
I'm sorry to hear about the bullying- I must have missed that. I hope things get better from here on out..

Both Nick and I have had an exhausting few days....of course it is all my fault.....I am so organised usually, but I let the medical part of this frighten me so badly that I wasn't on top of the other requirements, well not fully.

So now we have to take some photos (we need more to take on Monday) and my jaw is swollen twice the size it should be on the left....my TMJ flared up like crazy over the past week or so.

Thus I am cranky and haven't listened to messages. Sorry love....I did receive the loveliest photo I have ever seen.... I will check my phone and call.

Sending love and massive hugs. ♥♥
Hey sweetie- no, it wasn't a phone message, just the pm with the photo

I'm sorry you are under so much pressure right now. I totally understand being cranky - I would be too. Keep the light at the end of the tunnel in your mind and you'll get there. It's going to be okay- breathe into it.

"I feel stressed, and I am the LIGHT"
"I feel overwhelmed, and I am the LIGHT"
"I feel anxious, and I am the LIGHT"
"I feel cranky, and I am the LIGHT"

You are the LIGHT! You will get through this, no matter what...
love you!

Good evening sweethearts. Sorry I missed a day or 2 I've been seriously busy and mother dearest is staying with me for 4 nights. She likes to get her Christmas shopping done early and leave it all at mine. So far so good we are getting along okay albeit in a slightly distanced way. I can never be myself with her and to be honest for the sake of calmness I can live with it. I will take these few days as they come and know inside that I have you all on my pocket and in my heart. I was thinking today (whilst queuing for some shopping) how absolutely lucky and grateful I am to have found SR. Found you all. It's pretty mind blowing this little community of ours.
24 more please with lots of love ❤❤❤

Your Mums shopping idea is smart, like being well prepared not to take that first drink.
