shotgun... wait... too late?
I was posting something and got the thread closed message...
so I figured my chance at shotgun was.... FOILED!
anyway, Simplicity, have you tried meditation? Mindfulness practice...
It's good to put things in perspective. Most of our anxiety is our own self putting demands or expectations on ourselves with a false sense of urgency.
The reality is that the world still spins and life goes on no matter what we do or do not do today. Just as we had to accept that drinking was no longer an option in our lives, we also have to accept the fact that worrying over niggling tasks is pointless.

Do you have any you tubes of meditation that you like? LB? I'm just getting in to this meditation and can't seem to sit still for longer than 10 minutes without my mind wandering. I had one that was more of a binaural beats that I put in as I went to sleep. But that was $$.

Morning y'all , had a few weird drinking dreams and woke up with a killer headache. So I had to stop and really think am I sure I didn't drink. Well I didn't so my pea brain musta been working overtime at night and now it's suffering.

Well, anyway. ..good morning and thanks for the flip optival. ..
I'm up and drinking coffee. My favorite time of the day. Used to be my most dreaded time of day.
I think I'll take it easy today since I didn't feel well yesterday,. Just a short dog walk and lots of water.
I love sundays.

.. well unless behappy has anything to say
Thanks for the new thread Opivotal
Father's day in the UK so I get to see my daughters and grandaughters, I hope I am not a chore to be got over
My eldest daughter is getting married next month - the slow witted Saoutchik has been notified of a competitive mum-in-law situation. Two bills totalling £1800 which I was bracing myself to pay have been picked up by the Grooms mum and the former Mrs Saoutchik . Ha!
Not being an alpha male has its advantages

Way to dodge a bullet, Sao! And happy Fathers Day!
Slow getting ready for church this morning. It's been a good weekend and I don't want it to end! The next few weeks will be super busy with little time to myself so I'm determined to enjoy today!

Good morning!
Okay - this is creepy. So I went to guy friend's cabin yesterday. Got back to town about 8 or so. He asked if I wanted to watch a movie at his place. My car had been parked there all day. I said sure - so we did that. Then he said I could crash there, since it was pretty late. Woke up at 5 this morning and checked my phone. Handyman had texted something along the lines of: I am such a fool, you used me, when you are done with him, let me know, just be honest with me." That was at about midnight. So evidently he was out looking for my car. He did this in the past when we dated before. I am not a happy camper. I texted back that I didn't appreciate being stalked, and that I wasn't using anyone.
I guess my gut was right about handyman after all.

Haha sao! You always crack me up- at don't be so hard on yourself! You're never too old to be an AIDS risk! 
I also doubt you're a chore to get over- I love going to see my mom on mothers day and her birthday.
Ken- you be safe down in Orlando too!!! Xo
