5:45am in Alberta, 24 for me and everyone else who needs them please, and thanks...

Today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!

My thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by the tragedies in El Paso and Dayton...

That I want to be like ‘normal’ people and go to happy hours and barbecues and drink—it’s a lie. I want this out of my head- I know the truth. Back to basics for me. It’s tempting to escape..what is it that I really need? It sure isn’t alcohol but maybe just company and some kind of happiness. When we want to drink it means we need something else!

I feel better that I called the alcoholic voice out. It’s been bothering me.

Well done darling VoVo. It can't hurt us if we stop it sneaking around....little lurker.....we are not interested in the message.

As you said, what false advertising....those things are never going to be fun for us, or part of our lives again. We are not normies, and taking that chance to see one more time....well.....there are very close friends in this thread (people we all love dearly) who have done that recently. And they are lost.

I pray every day that they will feel the pull and come back.

But we only get so many chances.

So, onward to a Sunday filled with good energy and love and a friend on the other end of the phone or Messenger. s xxxxx

Every time I come here to write an update on my life I ended up erasing it. Not sure why- I just don’t feel articulate enough, I suppose.

Life is good- ups and downs as usual. I am doing a new program from the Heart Math Institute which teaches heart coherence. Did you know that the electromagnetic field of the heart can be measured up to three feet away from the body? And you know those times when you feel someone walk into a room and their energy is just off and it affects you? That energy could be coming directly from their heart (not just their aura). I have a sensor that clips onto my earlobe and measures my heart rate variability when I use the Heart Math app. Even my boys enjoy using it (my 4 year old requested it tonight before Bed.) I hope I can get to the point when I use theses exercises during times of stress- that is the hardest part. Actually using tools when you need them the most.

Anyway. It’s almost 9 and I need to go to bed. My husband and I are doing a double date on a lake tomorrow- we are learning the basics of canoe paddling. It’s going to be in the high 80s/ what was I thinking!

Much love to you all
Sunny
That sounds fantastic love!!! Sunnies and a hat and a long sleeved cool shirt over your bathers and you will be fine (and you will look like an Aussie ). I hope it is truly wonderful. ♥♥

24 hours more for me. I’ve been moving for the past few days after work. I think it’s caught up to me. I’ll take today to recharge myself for the work week ahead. Thoughts and prayers to everyone in El Paso.

Thanks to yesterday's event there were 30 adoptions and 3500 people attended
30 adoptions is fantastic love!!!
And I wish you could take Scooter home. s ❤️

Nick and I have both been having dreams about black kittens, then he saw one around the corner the other day. Hmmm....I will get thrown out if I do this... s

Just back from dog walk, another cup of coffee and decide what to do today besides staying sober, maybe just relax around the house since yesterday was chores all day. Have a good day everyone.
