9:58 pm in California and checking in for another 24. I am officially on vacation!! I worked a half day, then volunteered in my son's classroom. Then I took my daughters to see The Nutcracker, followed by dinner. It was a great day. Congrats to all celebrating a milestone. ❤️Delilah And I love The Nutcracker. :) :hug: |
I'm in for 24 more please. Thanks for the post Kenton. You have a good heart but it sounds like you're right about not getting too consumed by that one passion. Remind yourself that you are doing something already to help the homeless and that is making a difference! |

Thank you Kris :hug: I do hope I find a new peace, and I’m sure I will one day. I did actually manage to duck away from everyone for 10 minutes yesterday and light two candles for my parents, in a church I spotted near the pub as we were about to leave, which was a beautiful, if sad, reprieve. I’m finding it difficult to maintain a bright face. I just want some quiet time to myself and am trying to find it whenever I can. It’s a bit of a whirlwind trip and a combination of guys and girls we’re catching up with, friends and family, at various locations. We flew here for a holiday and we’re touring around from place to place in a hire car to my partner’s home town and surrounding countryside where he grew up. It’s also raining, so there’s actually not a lot options for me to go anywhere other than everywhere he goes in the car for the next couple of weeks as we’re staying at a different place every night. I just wish there was less focus on drinking all the time. I can much more easily escape from it when I’m home. I am trying to make the most of it as an adventure, an opportunity to see new places and hopefully the weather will clear up so we spend less time inside pubs or at people’s houses drinking, and can get outside a bit more. I know I am not in the best place this Christmas, mentally or emotionally, as I’m still grieving. A lot. I know it’s 4 months but the pain is still so raw. I will be ok, I just have to not drink. Sorry to whinge and sound ungrateful for the opportunity to travel, but I just wish I wasn’t constantly surrounded by so much alcohol use at the moment. I just want to run away from everyone and hide. But I will find quiet time and comfort when I can, and look for alternates to hanging out with the drinking when I can. Thank you ❤️ And four months is like yesterday honey....this is raw and fresh. I would be buying drinks to take with me to all of those houses love....make yourself comfortable. Gosh, just tell people you are not drinking this Christmas....end of story.....bet they don't even ask why. I would say that I am honouring my parents. Wanting to be present. Love you to pieces. Keep talking.....we will help you through this weird week or two. :hug: ♥♥ |

Signing on for 24. I'm heading to South Carolina today for a long weekend visit with family. My sister asked what my drink of choice is so that we can all sit out by the fire and enjoy. Oy. I'll enjoy it just fine with seltzer, so I see a couple of conversations are in store.... Have a great Friday! Sending love and wishing you a wonderful time. :hug: ♥♥ |
I think you are just sensational kent.....and I love that you are running with this. Hey, get the kids involved....that's one way of fitting more charity work in. Some people have a special gift for this: I think you are part of that tribe. :) :hug: ♥♥ |

Thank you ❤️ 4 months is but a short time! And grieving takes up all your psyche for awhile. You are not whining. You are grieving, remember? ;) And newly sober, too. Phew! lol. You just need to take it moment by moment, odaat. And you will find strength. I see it in you. Awesome that you managed to see and go into the church. My heart is on your heart. I understand. I'll be wishing you sonshine, no matter the weather. Blessings...………... |
