STILL ALIVE, STILL SOBER.................

Still wondering who or what keeps stealing my TIME???  I swear that whoever says there are 24 hours in a day must lead a very boring life!!  I dunno how I ever found the time to drink.  confusedisbelief

I am secretary for my church now, which is almost like a full time job, I am starting to get into crafting (mostly making cards, and teaching the grandkids to make them too, which they love)  I have EVEN spent about an hour in the garden today, before giving in BEFORE I got too stiff to move, and am now heading for a lovely hot bath with muscle-relieving foam in it before going to church in a couple of hours.

IF we don't get any rain tomorrow, I might do another HOUR out there, easy does it but do it eh?  I'm learning.  biggrin

It's always a pleasure to hear that one of my fellow MIP members is:

"STILL ALIVE, STILL SOBER................."

Don't get so busy that you forget.

The alternative to not doing some of that is scarey.  A garden is a great place to kneel
and while I am kneeling I pull weeds with my hands and plants I don't want to culture
anymore and I focus on doing the best I can with what I have at that time and who I
want to become and since there is still room for it kneeling is a great position to pray
in and express gratitude for it all...that which is under me, around me, over me and in
me.  Gotta be sober to do it and I need to do it.   Thanks for the support.  smile

Awesome, Avril... you are my gardening hero, because even 10 minutes of it would leave me exasperated. I am a sh$tty gardener, always have been.

I too am enjoying baths again... they are a real gift!

Take care and feel good!
Joni
