Thank You world
 

I was not having a good day. I'm almost to the point of sitting down and crying day. Not very becoming of a 56 year old man.

I walked outside and looked up at the sky. The bright Sun, two Sun dogs and a halo greeted me.

Thank You world.

Aaah, the simple things in life.

I'm sorry you were having a bad day, trachs. Hope it continues to get better. There's the moon and stars for later!!!!

And there's always your buddies here at SR.

Trach, nature can always bring peace to us. I'm glad you're feeling a bit better.

I love mother nature too trachs is everything ok you been there for me if I can help I'm there bud :hug:

Trachs...thanks for sharing. So encouraging. Drinking was numbness and blunted sensation. Sobriety is a lot of hard work -- but punctuated with pure joy. Amazing.

Happy to hear you found a positive note, Trachy. As long as you can do that, you're doing well :-)

Sorry you're having a tough day Trach. Glad you could find a little peace this morning.

Sorry about the tough day, Trachy. Glad you saw something beautiful! Being outside does the same thing for me.

Keep swimming, buddy.

:hug: Trach.

What's a sun dog?

Glad your day is improving Trach. There are days that I feel like crying as well. Nothing wrong with it.

A sun dog is one of those little everyday miracles of nature that we so often miss. It's a little rainbow. A circular spot to the left or right of the sun that can show some or all the colors of a rainbow. Caused by ice crystals in the upper atmosphere, there is the occasional up sundog, above the sun.

I've seen many, taught to look for them by my grandfather. Today was nice. One to each side of the sun and a halo around the sun for a little bit. Made my day a bit happier.

I could still crush pets, though. Foul, foul mood.

Hi Trach, I did not know they were called sun dogs...I feel happier just learning this phenomenon has a name... they are special...

(((Trach)))

Hope you are feeling better now Trach.

Drunk or sober, I think we all have those days. Hang in Trach. I follow you regularly.

Trachs, I'm pleased you found some solace in our wonderful world. I didn't realise they were sun dogs either!

A big smooch on your cheek, Turtle.
;)

I think that a 56 year old man who is able and willing to be vulnerable, experience a full palette of feelings, appreciate the little wonders of life and the physical world is much more mature than a 56 yo man with a distorted self and world view based on what we are supposed to be. We can't always have good days. I also like the way you express your bad moods: simple and to the point. I often place mine in an overly complicated context and cover it up with hodgepodge, when the simple truth is a crappy day.

In the meantime, I'll keep my pets safe :)

I hope your day gets better Trachemys

Foul foul mood

BOO

Be gone.

I hope things have improved, Trach. As hokey as it is I find solace in nature as well. When I look up at the eternal moon I imagine all the people who've looked at that same moon before, over the countless centuries leading up to this moment. It makes my own problems seem small, temporary. It kind of puts my problems in context.

We're all here for you if you want to talk about why your day was so lousy. :grouphug:

Hope today is better for you Trachs

Thank you, people. I'm better today. Of course it's only 4 AM.

Myth, there was no reason for the bad mood day. That's just my life.

.

Glad to hear you are feeling better. Days like that just plain suck and usually the best response is cutting it off early and heading to bed. Sorry to hear you are up so early though! I hope today is better for you.

Turtle,

The love you make is so much more than what you take.

Thank you for reminding me that even people as great at Trachs can have bad days.

And I would be careful of cow -- I bet she strong.

You have no idea how strong Cow is.

Can you explain to me what or who Cow is? Just curious.
