Hi All, I am on day 8 and I thank God and all of you again today.

I am going to work in my oldest sons yard and my middle son lives beside him so I will see him and I also am taking him for his blood work at the hospital. 

I am in a hurry but will be back to post tonight. God bless you all. I take you with me. Rosie

When you're done, fly south and help me with our yard!  So good to hear you are so good today too!  How do you put the little icons (smileys, etc) on the left by your name? Computer guru that I thought I was can't figure it out!

Hi all, I do love Elvis. He was on TV for a few days this week and always amazes me. He is also a good example of what drugs and alcohol can do to you no matter how famous you are.

I think if you put your cursor next to what you want the smileys by it works.

ideaideaideaideaconfusedconfusedconfusedconfused Yes it does! Put your cursor where you want it to appear and then go down to it and point your arrow at the emoticon you want and click.


smilesmilesmile I am playing sorry......

I had a wonderful day and reading here before I go out to do errands and help my sons etc really helps me. Quetzel puts up the writings from the language fo letting go that help me so much to think of and put to use.smilesmilesmilesmile

I went over and helped my son in the garden for a couple of hours and I cleaned up the play yard while my son mowed. And I cleaned their house up and did some laundry and cleaned out their fridge. And then my son and I cooked a nice supper with fresh vegetables from the garden.

We went to see my 6 yr old granddaughter test for her purple belt at Ty Kwon Do and she got 12 out of 13 above average and 1 average on her testing. The 13th one is about a black belt mindset. But of course she is only 6 and her attitude is not there yet. She is excellent I must say. I got great photos and videos.

We all went home and watched the videos and looked at the photos. Just a great and blessed day. We all had a lot of fun. My daughter in law and the kids were gone all day she to work and the younger kids to day care and my oldest granddaugther went to school. So my son and I had a great day hanging out with each other. I made a nice lunch and we did business on the phone and worked real hard all day outside.

The one thing that happened was my middle son who lives next door has a beautiful chocolate lab and the lab was wrestling around with the other black lab and hurt his tail. So we got pain meds for him and he was resting when I left. I love those dogs and hope he is okay tonight. I will check on him in the morning.

I had flashes at one point when the dog got hurt and my son needed me to take the dog to the vet about 45 minutes away and I had so much left to do plus the tournament for my granddaughter all at one time that I thought of drinking beer on the way for the dog.

But I shook it off and put gas in my sons vehicle and paid for the meds and made it all simple and I did what I should do. It was a very prideful time for me as I handled things in a positive way.

I would have used it as an excuse to calve the rest of the day and not respect what I had committed to in the past. Or I would have done it all half way. But I did it all very simply and it came out so nicely.

I am tired but happy. This forum is saving me in so many ways. The breakup now seems so much better and I am seeing things in a much more accepting way.

Thank you all for being here. Take care with love Rosiesmilesmilesmilesmile

I am hooked now on those emoticons!! It says more emoticons but it does not look like we can use them??

Hi Tyson, Deirdre, Quetzel and Doll, Thank you so much for your support.

I feel like I am home now. Being on this forum makes me feel to home and I feel I have come home to myself. I have even been having feelings of like smelling old perfume. How it brings you back to a wonderful place and time. Of late I have had feelings and thoughts like flash backs to when I was a young girl and the peaceful wonderful feelings I had.

I am so blessed and have not felt this way for a long time. I feel I have only one life here on earth and I want to feel at peace as I live my life and appreciate what my higher power has intended. I feel love is important. Love of self and love of others.
 
Take care Rosie
