    Kathryn,  I think you did great.  I too would not want to be tempted that way.  But it was good that you had self-excluded yourself or those urges would had been unbearable.  You know, it is a trigger to me to hear others talk about their wins at gambling.  I know (from past experience) not to get into a conversation with anyone that is talking about gambling or casinos.  It just is not worth the pain and self hatred the next day.  Have a good weekend…..Nancy

    Hi Kathryn… I have a self cleaning oven.  Just set it to clean and wa la – clean.  But my oven is still dirty…..lol  Guess I better get cleaning or pushing buttons… lol  I had a good time at the Christmas party.  But for some reason, I still feel down in the dumps.  Well, I just wanted to check in on you today……..Have a good day my friend…….NancyThere is magic all around us.  All we need do is stop and take notice.  There is no charge for admission.  You don’t need any special equipment.  The good Lord provides us with this incredible spectacle each day.  All we have to do is show up for it…….

    Hi,  I went to the store and looked at those skinny jeans.  The only thing I don’t like is they are low risers.  I don’t like jeans that don’t come all the way to my waist.  I have several pair of jeans like that but gave them away.  I got tired of trying to pull them up. lol  I did buy a pea jacket and a PURPLE sweater.  If you read my post you will see how I pigged out yesterday and probably wouldn’t have even fit in a pair of skinny jeans. lol……………..Life is so much better without gambling….NancyGratitude should be a continuous attitude, not an occasional incident.

    My daughter was asked to be matron of honor at her cousins wedding along with her daughter who was 18.  The 18 year old picked out the dresses.  They were cranberry satin an dvery low cut plus sleeveless and strapless.  Now my daughter is very, very, very, big busted.  we kept waiting for the dress to fall off.  It was horrible.  She hated it, but she wore it for her cousin.  But she survived to tell about it . lol   Nancy

    HI Kathryn,  Gret on the 5 months.  I am so happy for you.  And I really liked your post on the flower garden.  Thank you so much for always taking the time to post on my thread.  I think you are a wonderful person and I admire you.  I am glad you are enjoying your summer.  Nancy

    Hi Kathryn,  I hope your back is feeling better.  At least you have 3 days off to rest up.  It must be lovely to spend time with your mom and sister.  I  have 4 brothers and no sisters.  Hope you enjoy your weekend.  Husband and I are going to a hotel and spa for the weekend.  I have all day Saturday to pamper myself as he is on a one day fishing trip.  The spa services are very expensive, but I might just splurge alittle………..NancyIf you are not making as much progress as you would like, the key is not to lose any ground.  Don’t go backwards.  Hold your position.  Keep a good attitude and do the right thing even though it is hard.

    Hi Kathryn,  Even your hum drum days sound fun.  I’m glad Brea is doing so well.  How’s the little purple petunia?  Is she getting any practice with it?  My grandson called me yesterday.  He said his family is planning another cruise in 2010 and invited me.  I am thinking seriously about going.  I have been on a cruise before, but spent most of the evenings in the casino.  This time I will use him as my barrier if necessary.  Stil in thinking stages though.

    HI Kathryn,  Yes I laughed also.  It seems that life is good for you right now and I am happy for you.  You are working hard to keep it that way.  You know Kathryn, I too have a hard time with commitments.  I never used to but since my gambling days, I don’t like to commit my time to anything.  I haven’t post in a couple of days as the old depression bug hit me and I slipped.  But I am back now and will not let that hurt my recovery.  Have another great day…NancyNothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside of them was superior to circumstance.

    Hi Kathryn,  I think everyone needs alittle break from talking about gambling.  Sorry to read about your gambling thought.  But I have no doubt you have kicked them in the curb.  Have a good day car shopping.  Me, I’d raher be shopping for shoes………………NancyFrame every so-called disaster with these words ‘In five years, will this matter?’
