Hey Kathryn,
just catching up with everyone here and there. Can you send me some of what you are putting in Brea’s water? I need some for my grumpy teenage son. He feels he’s ready to handle the greusome realities of warfare ( he wants to join the army) but touching gross dirty plates on their way into the dishwasher is almost too much for him to bare lol.
Good luck on the job application. The only tip i can think of right off is to look at the requirements of the job and then find those same skills within your current job or other volunteer activities you may also do. Find an online thesaurus and look at different ways to same the same words they use lol, sometimes this jiggles my mind.
Enjoy your day off tomorrow and don’t work too hard. Take some time for yourself. Hopefully I’ll catch up with you sooner or later in group.
Have a great day!
LauraHey Kathryn,
just stopped in to say hi and sorry I missed you this weekend. I see you have been busy reading and posting, its so nice that we all have this way to support each other. Just wanted to let you know that I was by my mothers today and my little rose (the one that was waiting to bud) is in full bloom. I can’t believe it for this time of year. A lot of years we would already have six inches of snow on the ground by now! Hope you had a good weekend, catch up with you soon. Take care,
LauraHi Kathryn,
I am here, I didn’t hear you enter the room, I turned the volume down on my computer by mistake. If you are still around and want to talk, pop back.
thanks,
lauraHi Kathryn,
it was good talking with you last night, yesterday for you I would guess. Glad Brea’s night went well, i always breathe a sigh of relief when those things are over. Well done on your letter! It must have been good to have been read aloud, were you proud? Or did you want the ground to swallow you up? Your positivity is contagious
I’m rather tired after staying up til ten past midnight and then running round to appointments today. I’m taking in a GA meeting tonight, first one. I’m meeting a friend who goes regularly so I won’t have to go alone. It will be a late night but worth it.
I hope we bump into each other again soon. Take care,
Lauradear Kathryn,
I’m so glad your trip turned out to be everything you hoped it would be and more. Memories like those are the ones worth making, the ones worth remembering. How often do us CGers look back with fond memories of our time spent playing the slots? Sitting here thinking I cannot really recall one visit to the slots that was a "memory maker".
Your evening dancing in the rain and seeing old friends sounds lovely. I caught up with an old friend for lunch today. I was thinking about how often I had avoided friends when I was playing the slots. I only had so much time to go around and the slots were my number one priority.
I’m so glad that you are enjoying life to the fullest. It makes me truly realize what I have been missing. We shall all have to remember to dance in the rain, shop til we drop and live life like we mean it. We only get one go around lets make it the best!
Have a good day Kathryn, it was good to hear from you.
LauraHey Kathryn,
ditto from me. I was just wondering on my thread how your trip was going. I selfishly miss you but am glad that you are living out such a fun promise with your daughter. Hope you are having a blast!
LauraGood evening Larry,
I have finally had the chance to stop by and read most of your thread. To thank-you in person so to speak for you unwavering support, considerate comments and inspirational thoughts. Congratulations on your 90 days, you have worked hard to be where you are and so deserving. And so I will quote your earlier quote "…And so my weary gambler friend, please take this hand that I extend. Take one more chance on something new, Another gambler helping you",
Thank-you Larry, from the bottom of my heart, for extending your hand to this weary gambler. Thank-you for the honesty with which you post.
I feel the same as Kathryn, that we each must find our own way, our own path, but the guidance and information provided by all our friends here at GT can help give us the tools to navigate our own way. I am glad that you share your true thoughts with us all. Your kind nature shines through in your posts on my thread. I’m am truly grateful to have met Larry.
May your sleep be restful tonight Larry. I am thinking of you.
LauraGood morning Kathryn,
As I read your posts I think that you have found a good part of the secret in fighting this disease called CG. You are filling your life with humour, friends, family and new adventures. You are an ispiration for all of us to do the same.
Do you recall how I said that my life these days seems to be full of "signs" and coincidences? I have one that i would like to share with you because when it happened I thought of you immediately. The end of last week, not long after your posts regarding us all being flowers in a garden, each in different stages of bloom, I drove to my mothers.
When i got out of the car I noticed two little miniature rose bushes that each had a single rose in bloom. That is truly unusual for us here as quite often we already have snow. These were little rose bushes we had given mom for mothers day in the spring in an arrangement. I mentioned it to mom, and she said yes she had noticed, but there were three little bushes in the garden from the arrangement. Two had been in bloom for a little while but the third one had a rose bud on it, trying to bloom. It brought tears to her eyes as she mentioned how she had three daughters, and now three little roses in the garden with one trying to bloom.
Hope you had a great time tonight. Got to run but i wanted to share.
LauraHey Kathryn,
wow, the dress issue is quite the spot to be stuck in. I didn’t have a clue what to suggest. Flowers idea seems to be quite insightful. She could perhaps suggest too that the camera will pick up all sorts of things that the plain eye doesnt see and that she doesn’t want to ruin the photos. Of course, I’m usually a person who tries to put the blame or the problem back on myself, so as not to offend the other person. Hmm, something to work on I see.
Glad to see you had a good day with the kids. I too am cherishing the small things these days, inbetween my moments of terror. It must be wonderful to have the support of your husband. At least there is the opportunity there to work on the annoyances of the relationship. We all have our ups and downs in marriage.
Sweet dreams K, see you soon.
LauraHi Kathryn,
it was good fun chatting with you in group last night. Thank-you for your words of encouragement, it means a lot.
and Wohooo a big congratulations on your five month mile stone. Be so proud of yourself. Who better than us here to know what an accomplishment that truly is. And as you say, one day at a time. May today be another day filled with special moments, big or small, and sunsets at the beach.
I live near the beach as well, although I am entering the winter season here. There is something about the surf, the sea air and the crys of the seabirds that can be so cleansing.
I see myself in your flower garden as a seed that has just sprouted. I am trying to put down roots and send a shoot towards the sun. It takes a lot of energy at that point, but I have hope that some day I will be an open flower soaking up the sun.
Take care Kathryn, keep up the good work. I think your ideas about joining a fitness program and spending some time at the school are very healthy positive steps. You can do it!
Laura
