Allo folks - Have come over to use my mates comp, as during a moment of enthusiastic inspiration yesterday morning, I managed to fill my keyboard with coffee and will no be "non communique" until I can get over to a town and replace it. I can still see the board but am unable to contribute.
Yes - ya'll gauranteed a rest from my ramblings for a bit. But am going to squeeze one in on a technicality all the same, with thanks to my balding mate and geriatric dinosaur of a computer named after Adam and Eve's dessert.
Have been concerned though...that Phil is going through a rough time and might interpret my absence as a lack of care or interest...so that is why I'm here (and now relegated to drink coffee on the verandah )
Just wanted to let you know Phil, I am thinking of you over here...sending you happy thoughts and experiencing no doubt at all, that things will work out ok. The world can be a rough place sometimes, and we were never ever sent here to just love one person. The moment we start thinking that's our task, the rougher the ride gets.
You have so much to offer others and there are so many in need of exactly what you have to offer. When we get down, lost and confused there is only one thing to do...actively refocus on our recovery and share the message. I wish I was close enough to plonk you in my sidecar and ask you to give me a tour of local rehabs, and visit the ER - because that is what we would be doing today mate... Getting out there and getting things back in perspective. But I am not there, I am here and you are there. So, instead I will poke this baldy mate in the ribs when I say thanks for letting me use the comp, and go back home and clean out my chook pen... wishing I could instead be on the other side of the world, laughing, helping others to find their smiles and watching you do what you do so well... (lead, inspire, comfort) ...and I will settle for idea that you are over there doing what you can a day at a time, to make the world a brighter place and all is well in our world.
*looking in you in the eye* Everything is going to be okay.
Hi Nic. You spill coffee on your keyboard. I spill jam and peanut butter on mine.:) It hasnt given up yet, as yours has, but my fingers stick to the keys a lot of the time.:)
You are not alone.
Thanks for your concern Nic. Im GOING TO BE ok. Whatever happens. There were a few days there I was all over the map, and was pretty down, and kicking my ass at the same time, heading right back into that deep dark hole.
Im slowly climbing back out of it.
Went to a meeting tonight, and have 3 in a row in the next three days , so it all helps.
Its all a Let Go and Let a Higher Power thing, and where He takes me, Ile follow. It might not be where I wish it to be, but I keep thinking of the saying "If one door closes, another will open" And if the one door doesnt close--Ive learned something from it all and try a bit harder"
You have a good day, and maybe a straw in the coffee cup would help with the keyboard? (Smile)

Nic: re: coffee flavoured keyboard, is there any other sort? can hardly see the keys on mine from the coffee stains!
Phil: Be strong and follow the advise that you would give to anyone else in your position. Just keep going and try to see the funny side of everything. My thoughts are with you my friend.
Bye for now.
Chris.
