Debbie, okay, is the purple a nice strong purple, not a light one. If so I will stop bugging you about red paint LOL Our house is painted all neutral safe colours (boring). I got a dark colour for one of the walls in the living room, one of the sampler size. Hubby painted it and said there was no way he was painting the wall that colour. It was a really really dark blue. He said it was black. Anyway, he painted the sampler right in the middle of the the wall and it was there for ages. Everyone who came in asked about it, and he proceeded to tell them that I wanted to paint the wall that colour. It is now back to safe neutral. I am now using accents of cushions, ornaments to add some colour to the house. I did not admit to him ever that it was too dark, but he was right LOL It was actually a designer that suggested the colour to me to help tie everything together. I think I like nice bright cheery colours. Have a great gamble free day!!!!One day at a time my sweet lord…
Hi Debbie, I have been in a bit of a slump lately, feeling sorry for myself, but I thank God that I am feeling a bit more like my normal self again. Well as normal as any crazy person can be LOL I am so disappointed that you did not paint your apartment RED LOL, I am just kidding. It is so lovely to read your uplifting post and hear the joy come through in it. You really are at a different place in your life now and it shows. I hope that your first night in your "new home" was wonderful and I wish you much happiness in it. How about painting one wall RED LOL You could call it your crazy wall.

Ican I have been thinking about you since I read about your MIL and wondering how she is. It is so sad on her birthday that she is having problems. I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you.One day at a time my sweet lord…
Hi Paul, sorry to hear that you gambled after nearly 8 years clean, but glad that you are reaching out to get back into recovery. I am thinking that you will know what you need to do to put barriers in place. As you mentioned it may help you to get a sponsor through GA to get you back on the right road. We are all in the same boat here – taking it one day at a time. Keep posting and reading as it does help to get the support from others. One day at a time my sweet lord…
Bettie, Bettie, Bettie, thank you so much for your post about the Easter Bunny, it made me feel happy. Also your Reflection Post for Today was just what I needed today. I have been thinking about gambling too much lately. I know that it is up to me to get ride of the "stinking thinking". I will work on it!!! I hope that you are feeling better health wise and that you get your finances all sorted out. Take care dear Bettie!!!!One day at a time my sweet lord…
Young lady have an awesome day you deserve it!!!!
One day at a time my sweet lord…(((Lizbeth))), my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. One day at a time my sweet lord…
Dear Lizbeth, I think of you often and I am so glad to read that your family is supporting you and your hubby at this difficult time. I hate cancer and the pain and suffering that it causes to anyone who has it. I brought a silever bracelet for my daughter’s friend that says **** cancer, it looks lovelyand was designed by someone who had cancer and some of the money goes to cancer research. I may be feeling a bit more emotional about what you are going through right now because of my friend’s daughter. She is in pallative care right now to get her pain under control. I pray that your hubby does not suffer too much pain and they are able to control it. One day at a time Lizbeth that is all any of us can do.One day at a time my sweet lord…
Dear Lizbeth, I asked my friend whose daughter has cancer (she has pallative care nurses come in daily to help with pain meds etc.,) how she manages to deal with it. She said that she deals with it one day at a time. She gets up in the morning and depending how her daughter is dictates what will happen that day. Her daughter may be able to go out for an hour or so or she may spend her day lieing on the couch. I know that her daughter is in pain as I can see it in her face. I can also see how she is spaced out at ***** with the pain meds. She is fighting to enjoy every day that she has. On top of this my friend is looking after the twins who will be one year old this month. The other grandparents took the babies for a few nights and I know that my friend told me she had to get out the house today. I suppose what I am saying is that she is the carer, although her daughter has a husband, and she ***** a break from being the carer. I know you mentioned just going out and doing something helped give you a break, please take as many breaks as you can. Family and friends want to help as they feel so helpless and want to help lighten your load, so accept all the help that anyone offers. It is so wonderful that your daughters and son-in-law are helping. Thinking of you and saying a prayer for you and your family. One day at a time my sweet lord…
