Lots of stuff there. Yours is recent, of the open wound variety. Mine is a well-healed old white scar. I spent too long being bitter and took longer that I should have in getting to reinventing me. I would submit, put effort in figuring out who and what you want to be in every level of your Life, and then work on those things. I always strive to act better than I think, and better than I feel. I succeed these days much more often than not.


Cats help. They're always good with who and what they are. And they kill things . . . .

I have a three year start already so that has helped. TBH, I'm glad he left. I didn't realize how mean he was. I never would have if he didn't do me the favor of leaving. I seem to have much more joy in my life and have been my old goofy self that was shut down by him all the time. My closest friend told me the other day that he was glad to see me back to my old self. I never realized that self was gone for so long. My cats are cool and yes they help (as long as I'm not sleeping) I'm thankful for all of you putting up with my antics https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfZQXnEJYjTz2m5MY7SPhVDliErjLwbnZ4rapvceOlFWjPrWzZxs_jR3d54FjS3PxSDNgWj9UmbZhOujMGuIQ0SvgTII79vfQSnLzahnhnDMAzrGqDy5ST_YMGDUx7G3TNaR4b7wt1fN_JVkUBhuvW5XXbz?key=jY9Az0Ixp_0zToql93IJFw

Them's some damn fine sawz!!!

Saws good.

Good morning early risers. And good day for those on the other side of “Big Water”.

Another day of hot and steamy weather but cool weather coming later. There are a lot of rural areas in Michigan. I used to spend 2 weeks each summer with my Aunt and Uncle who lived on a farm. They were the best, as provided this city boy some country experiences: milking cows, feeding the calves, harvesting the wheat etc.

Love that. Must have been a really interesting change for you!!

Be open to New Stuff and Question Old Ideas. If I have had a thought for more than half an hour, it might be becoming Old Thinking. Figure out what makes you happy, and aim for being content. Bad days don't exist (maybe on very rare occasions) but a bad half an hour can. Don't let it frag your day. See resentment for what it is - Soul Poison. Forgive and move on.


You're actually Low Maintenance. We'll keep you.

Just a short update.
Physical therapy for my wrist felt like it was progressing properly. But either I did too much with PT or I've tried to do too much irl.

In any case, backslide. Pain is back, loss of hand strength is back, lack of dexterity, the whole works. Feels like day one all over again.

So I will need to call and make an appointment either with a wrist specialist or a different physical therapist. I will have to start over again from Square one. I have a feeling this is going to be a longer road than initially thought.

My typing will be curtailed which means my engagement online will be affected. I'm using more voice to text on my phone.

But just wanted you to know in case you start seeing spelling errors, grammatical errors, or text acronyms start popping up. There is a reason for it. And hopefully over time it will resolve.

I'm pissed off but that's not going to get me any Forward Motion so I just have to pull up my big girl panties, do the work, and let go of just how long this road may be and be thankful that I'm somewhat ambidextrous.

We learn to appreciate our bodies more when some parts don't work. I can relate somewhat though my problem was my back. They work miracles these days and will probably have you back to 10 fingers!

It’s a shame you had to shut down who you really were while you were with him.

But now your normal self is out and your really friends see it.

You can be yourself around here. We’re not putting up with your antics. (Like that didn’t sound right…, but your not producing any antics.) we’re all here for one another.

Your a great addition to the team! Xoxoxo

He did it slowly. I just didn't notice. I'm guilty for letting it happen. He's not 100% to blame here.

But now your normal self is out and your really friends see it.

I have missed me and really enjoy seeing me again https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfzhUMhgybbS0Lb3ATbDNlKUdp7Id7ib2xMwN4Q7e-eFyy1f7-ht5mF-b3YF0U3J_G6tCFzycGiwXE6-4O8uTFhVE4JbDRVwSlP4AdnvE7eoKviMldyENYeORnXGYgFQpH2sleugodYJQNWnjHJETJ1i8_i?key=jY9Az0Ixp_0zToql93IJFw

antics -foolish, outrageous, or amusing behavior. I hope I do if I am using this term correctly. My comprehension messes up at times.

Your a great addition to the team! Xoxoxo

Great advice

Love that. Must have been a really interesting change for you!!

Looking back, it was the best experience to better understand that we don’t all live the same.

 

[Missk_2022]

I had TDK under and in every-fucking-thing when I reassembled the bed last week. We call it Supervising. She loves it.


Ethyl waits until it's made before christening it.

Ethyl is a queen..... I love your tiny tigers

I had a similar experience when after 30 years of narcissism I said enough is enough. But I did find the love of my life and we had a good marriage for 9 years until cancer. That period of my life with my LW will always make me smile.

I hope you find someone who cherishes you!

I am single never married. I would love to have a partner, but I am ok with being alone if the right one doesn't come along.....

It’s good to gain experiences. See how other people live. Get differing points of view. See how things are done differently in other places.

I love throwing myself headlong into other places and cultures.

My wife had a hard time sleeping last night, so I’m letting her sleep in.

Just being lazy this morning.

We have intermittent rain, and I do want to mow the meadow and the farm yard at the farm.

And then get out there again today and hack and slash at some of that wood so my farmhand can start splitting it.

I’m gonna visit my mom later today, so that will take some time…

I guess I better start my day!

But first, weekend wisdumb.

Borne of experience. The only kind of advice that's worth a damn.

This is like being a teacher. Opened my eyes to a lot of perspectives and cultures when dealing and talking with families.

I seem to have a touch of SAD also. It's the shortenizing days in Fall that get me more. After TimeChenge, the suction occurs. I'm better at accepting it these days than in previous years.

I'm unable to accept change, change means I'm getting closer to the inevitable. And Fall makes it feel like it's coming sooner

Our crew got on the flagstone and knocked out 2/3 of the job! They’ll be back in a week and I’ll be at work, so when I get back I get to see the finished job! It looks outstanding just what was finished. We’re excited and it’s the first rung in redoing the back yard. Hope everyone is having a nice lazy Sunday

I knew a man who was older than I, lost his wife to cancer, found an amazing partner, and then learned his partner had breast cancer. I asked him during our cancer support group how he kept his sanity? He responded that he takes it one day at a time and enjoys something about that day with his partner even though they knew they could get bad news at any moment. His advice kept me sane. Try it RJ. Enjoy the moment.

Thank you for the kind words and well wishes everyone. Much appreciated!

I lost the pain game yesterday. Nothing was helping. Even using Lit as a distraction flamed out. Had to duck out early as a result.

We'll see how long I last today. Right now... it's nap time.
