Hi ican. It’s alright to feel sad about the property you are selling. Change is hard but most of the time it is positive. . You won’t have that financial obligation anymore. When I was selling and buying properties after my husband’s death, I was overwhelmed by the changes I was going through. I kept second guessing myself but I am happy and content with my choices. I know that selling the property is hard for you but maybe it will take a load off of you and make your life a little easier. PS: I had to purchase another phone a few months ago because mine died. I was appalled a the cost. I bought a protective cover for it in case I drop it. LOL! Take care. I am thinking about you.

Kpat, I am glad that you didn’t gamble. It does help a lot with the support of others. I am happy that you were able to talk about the urges with your husband. You are doing well. Change is good. Take care.

Hi Carole. It was nice chatting with you yesterday. Take care of yourself.

Dinner was enjoyable. Today I am cleaning and organizing my craft stuff. It is a beautiful day here. I hope everyone is having a good day.

Nothing new going on here! I worked out 3 days this week. I am doing 2 miles on the treadmill (40 mins) My knee is much better. I think the walking has helped a lot. I am getting caught up on my house work and yard work. I love being home getting things done and enjoying my house. Tonight I am taking my Mom out for dinner. I am looking forward to it as I have never been there, neither has she. Hopefully she will be in a positive mood. It’s fun to dress up and go somewhere new! Whatever happens, I am going to have a good time.

I came home yesterday. What a klutz I am. I was getting my mail and slipped on the loose rocks by the box. I tore open my knee. It could have been a lot worse. No broken bones. I soaked in the bath tub and took some tylenol. I was able to go to the gym this morning. It is sore and bruised. Not too bad! I have signed up for another Cancer Walk in May in my town. All the proceeds stay here in our town. I will be able to light a luminary in remembrance for my Husband. I think my Mother was trying to get to me today. She is so negative. I am learning to block her out as nothing I can say helps. I am taking her out to a nice steak dinner on Saturday. She started protesting on how much it will be and I made the statement that she spends a lot more that the cost of the dinner at the casino. Anyways, I am paying for it! She went to the casino with her neighbor while I was gone. Of course, it was all doom and gloom. She doesn’t get it! Anyways, everything is good. I am only responsible for myself and how I react to the negative energy around me! I think it is time to start meditating again. LOL!!!

Thanks kpat and John for your posts! I am going home tomorrow after I take my Grandson to school as my Daughter has a early morning international meeting via the computer. I am getting my last hugs from my sweet Grandson. I made a awesome dinner for us and my Daughter and Grandson told me all about their day. Sunday, my Daughter and I went to a event that my Sister hosts every year for work and all the proceeds go to charity. It was the first time that my daughter and sister have seen each other in almost 2 years (my sister’s choice) It was a little awkward. We were invited and my Daughter wanted to go. . My daughter didn’t go into it with any expectations. My sister was very cold. Our family is very dysfunctional. I was proud of my Daughter on how she handled the situation. She is lucky to be surrounded by a great group of friends whom she considers family. It is what it is.

Hi kpat. I liked your post as it is so positive. That was sad about the man who collapsed at your church. It does put things into perspective. I am happy to hear that you are spending time on yourself. I know that I let myself go a bit when I was gambling. It is good that you are able to pay a little on your debts. Keep going. You will get them paid off. There are so many benefits from not gambling. You are doing great!

The visit with my youngest daughter was great! The cancer walk was awesome. 40 people where there representing the team I was on. The tee shirt is awesome and in my favorite color-purple. I am going home Tuesday. Everything is good.

Thanks Kpat for your post! I am feeling much better today. I spent the day with my Mom. We did some shopping and had lunch out. I ran into the woman that I met that wants to take a course at the college. She had gone to the college and if you are over 55 years of age the interest classes are free. Sign up for the May classes is next month. I am going to do it!! I feel positive energy from her!! I am going to the city tomorrow as I have rented a hotel room for my youngest Daughter and I so we can spend some time together. She is living with friends and doesn’t have her own place. I was coming down on Friday anyways as I am participating in the Cancer Walk on Saturday. I am not depressed now. I have worked through it. Sometimes I wonder if I am posting too much here. I am keeping my gambling in check and there are a lot of new people here needing help. I have noticed that many of the people who have been on here for awhile (like me) aren’t posting much. Something to think about.

Hi Kathryn! I am so happy that everything is going well for you! Things around here have changed. A lot of new people and the old timers (LOL!) don’t post much anymore. Take care.

Hi kpat. I was a smoker for years. Having a heart attack put a end to that addiction. I have been smoke free for 4 years. I never thought I could stop but my health was more important. You can quit. I had tried many different things to stop but going cold turkey worked for me. It is so easy to become addicted and so much harder to quit but we can quit! I was disappointed that I didn’t attend the party. I had bought a new outfit and was excited. There will be another time. Take care. You are doing amazingly well.

Carole, maybe we can plan for a future trip that would be more conducive for both of us. I am looking forward to it. I woke this morning feeling a bit worse. I had planned on going to the gym but that’s not going to happen today. It is rainy and gloomy here but we do need the rain. The guy that does my yard work every month called yesterday and came over and prepared my vegetable garden and feed my 15 rose bushes. I was so thankful as it is had been weighing on me and I didn’t feel up to do it. He does good work and needs the work as he has 4 young children. So, I am going to rest again today and hopefully get better soon.

Bettie, thanks for your support also! Your support in my first days here really helped me in my recovery. I don’t think there are many here that have had only clean time in their recovery journey, including myself. Be proud of yourself and your recovery and for all the support you have given to others. I wish there was a magic potion that I could give you so you didn’t have to suffer healthwise. Take care.

Hi Carole. I would love to meet you somewhere. I sent you a message via Facebook. Talk to you soon. Take care.
