I want to ask you if you are far from the fires....I am not sure where in Cali they are.
Bobbi and Delilah as well..... I hope you all are safe. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx[/QUOTE]
Hi Suze,
No fires near us, we are seeing some news coverage. Thankfully it looks like the fires staying in the in the unpopulated mountains. Except it’s terribly sad to think of the wildlife .....

SFL we missed you on here! There’s nothin wrong being uncomfortable was one of my ten things I wrote for gratitude list it’s something we can’t escape from. If it extends for long periods of time(Other than chronic pain for eg) I agree we should look @ it @ see what needs to be changed
I went to interview w/o my cane coz thot it would work against me! Big mistake Aghhh As we walked out of room, I swayed just a bit that caused interviewer to ask if I’m ok then, as I walked out of bldg, did it again! Even tho he was not @ close proximity, I think he did but didn’t say anything!Been forgiving myself over & over, doing my best to let it go but ughhh Now my challenge is divorcing myself from self pity that won’t be called back; although now it’s been bout twelve hrs since it happened, impact has mostly worn off. Btw, when he asked bout two DUIs told him discharged & been sober eight yrs! Hope that gives me an edge up over others. Choose to believe I got the job!🙏 24 pls of fresh beginning

I’m feeling sorry for myself right now, the Covid Blues. 😷☹️ The August Blues because of no vacation! 🏝🏝
Thank goodness I was tidal-waved with emotions only in the last hour. It’ll pass .....

JoJo and Sunflower, great to see you ❤️
Kenton, I remember a saying I read many moons ago. ‘When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Keep on going’ I’m glad you didn’t give up on your love of writing. Sitting on the sand, looking out to sea puts everything into perspective.
24 more please

I better check in, I haven’t managed to do a sober night yet but I will keep trying.
im currently still working while I can, trying to keep some normality in between appointments. I decided that I would take today off just to do nothing! It’s been absolute bliss. I’m currently in a bubble bath with SR, my music and a cup of tea. It’s only 3.30pm but I don’t relax easily so I’m trying to schedule in some time just to BE..
Anyway I will try and come on this evening when it’s witching hour for me. I think I need to change up my routine and replace the wine with something else.
Hope everyone is doing well xx

and if you don’t, something better will come along. I have always found it to be true.
min Refuge Recovery one of the goals is to become comfortable with being uncomfortable. It’s a Buddhist principle that I would like to work on. It would solve all of my issues around food. Just like we craved alcohol and chose not to use, the same will happen one day with me not choosing foods that hurt my body (sugar.)
thanks for the sweet message and good luck!
