I'm so sorry. I hope this time turns out better. My daughter is an alcoholic but alcohol free for 4 years now with the help of AA. She lives not far from her meeting place and goes often. Somehow she knows when she needs to go more often and does that. She has a good sponsor and I am so proud of her (she'll be 60 this year and has 2 adult children that she has reunited with recently). She tells me one has to be at the very bottom to realize the need to climb up. Of course, that bottom is different for different people, but she did "try" AA several times before "it took". Best wishes to you and your family.
If only time could stand still and when it resumes the slate would be clear...If only your words to the greater powers could happen our world would be a better place.
I hear you! I do my best to do things well enough and I keep at them, but I'm not going to kill myself because if keeping at something useless, the effort I put in is useless. When I realize that I quit.
I admire what you did with the fish pond and it made me smile. And to think that you did it in one day! Wow!
The bible also says “turn the other cheek”. ( It’s full of contradictory stuff!)
It’s a complex question & I’m not sure how I feel about the death penalty.
I think texting is detrimental to our communication skills because so many people use emoticons and abbreviations that when it comes to actual conversations they've forgotten how to use words. It drives me crazy when my granddaughters are texting while we're trying to have an actual conversation. I've said on more than one occasion what is it going to take to have your undivided attention. In my home, cell phones are shut off between 5:00-7:00 for family interaction time.
If you could change one thing in your life, what would that be? Would you be younger? Older? Richer? Poorer? Traveler? Homebody? You tell us...
If I could change one thing in my life would be to attempt to stay at school longer. I hated each and every day at school. I was shy, timid and scared out of my wits most of the time. The teachers were cruel, I can’t remember a nice one. Seventy six years ago I started full time school. I was a day over four years old. I left the day after my fifteenth birthday feeling as if I was stupid and unable to learn.
How sad is that? I found a boyfriend at fifteen and stuck with him ever since. I think it was because he made me feel safe. That’s another thing I’d never do. Not that we haven’t been happy but maybe things would have been different if I’d been able to stay at school, go to university, been something. Everything I know has been self taught, and I now know that I’m actually not stupid! 😂
