Calmness is needed today Calmness. Deep breathing exercises come in handy for times like this.
Repeated words of "it is a beautiful day today"and "nothing will upset me". At this stage i hope the non answering phone guy is ok.

I'm going to try not to pass on negativity to my new cells today. I like that! I am imagining all my little cells with their eyes and ears covered.

A good long walk seems to help with everything, AL48.

a walk and deep breathing are always good tools! Hope today is better, AL.

Hodd

Hope you’re OK, AL.

AL48

Im grand thankyou. I had to get someone else to do the work as I've still had no contact with phoneman. At this stage i just hope he's ok.
When the business is dealing with the public i just couldnt be a boss, i hate imaginary confrontational issues that haven't and might not happen🤣. At least i can deal with the anxiety now without going for the bottle.

Gorgeous view and photo AL. I hope it all works out ok and it's a good day.

And the drama continues, it seem from what ive been told the no answering phone guy suffers with depression and goes AWOL every once and a while to his dark place. He uses alcohol as his way of dealing with things which makes me feel even worse for the guy. If theres any truth to these rumours i do hope he's ok. If he only new we all have our demons.
Anyway I saw the gulls in action this morning all hungry for mussels. They do leave a bit of a mess behind but its enjoyable to watch them fly up to drop them and break them open.

I love Kerry. Weekend away again and i wouldn't be anywhere else.

Beautiful -- is that deer?

AL48

Yes a native red deer smaller than usual, i saw lots of them yesterday. Off again this morning to the national park.

Nice healthy looking buck. (I think I see antlers there. )

Have a great day away, AL.

Torc waterfall
Part of my walk today in Killarney. I just love the place.

tursiops999

oh, what a beautiful waterfall scene. I gotta go to Ireland sometime.

AL48

One more before bedtime. I like both but the colours of the mountains at the moment are lovely

Zura

All just so beautiful. I guess landscape envy is a thing 😂. I'm a bit over the dry, muted colours of the scenery here but that's the price you pay for blue skies and sunshine I guess lol. I'll just have to live vicariously through your photos AL!

AL48

County Kerry is a special place for me, its a case of give me the countryside any day.

biminiblue

Beautiful nature shots, AL.

I've been watching the neighborhood Bald Eagles start their courtship routine...and I'm seeing little buds on the trees! Not too long now.

AL48

I know biminiblue you can see the birds getting ready for spring now. Well im back home a little blue but its normal after such a lovely weekend away. Sober and fresh my wife and i had massage treatments, heated pools fine foods and teas being treated like royalty, not free 😁 but something unaffordable and unwanted in my drinking days.
We give ourselves such a better life probably normal but i missed too much and will now make up for it.
Took a walk in the national park before leaving booking another weekend away soon.

tursiops999

beautiful!

Back to reality 😭😭 work. Someone said a break will rejuvenate you and you will return to work in a great mood ready to go. He also said this is rare. Im definitely not in the rare camp.
just as well it was such a lovely morning walk there, bright at last.
