Dragonfly,

Those words are to be interpretated into your own language, there is no right or wrong way, I wish I knew the way, because I would bottle it and dose it out for free!!!

I want to follow that line ' I seen a crane fly!!'

in a terrible american accent lol.

glad to see kenny is still with us, well me when i'm in the library as my phone which is my normal gamcare line does not do pictures lol!!!

Glad to see you aboard the good ship gamcare.

Just for today

Welcome Dragonfly x

Dragonfly

I'm gonna do worse that kick you I the nootz...I'm gonna flotilla down in my bath tub and "park it " up against your houseboat and post to you whilst waving at you through the round hatch...

Now ..be afraid ,..be VERY afraid lol ...xxxxxxxxx

'Normal rational thinking' - where do I start.

I chose my new name on sat after a friend called me an old dragon then on Sunday the ropes tying my houseboat to the bank were covered in newborn dragonflies many of which flew inside the boat so I had to open all the windows and chase them out. Amazing petrol blue green colours. How freaky is that.

Normal rational thinking - today I will not P*** my money down the drain despite a mega stressfull time as it will surely pass.

'normal rational thinking' My advice don't over think this one!!

every day your brain functions with this, at work, at home on the river, driving the car, time with the grand kids these are times of normality were rational thinking doesn't need thinking about it's a given. then there is the percentage that's wired wrong it's say got no 'earth' to keep your feet on the ground, all rational thoughts go south and off we go, by working the steps we are learning to recognise those moments before they manifest into destructive gambling, gift ourselves time to make better of our situation.

There's a jigsaw puzzle infront of all of us, through starting recovery we found all the pieces, now it's about building a picture. don't stare at it too long it all goes out of focus, take your time, something abstinence gifts us.

be kind to yourself, savour things

why??

because your worth it!!!

Hey DF

"Normal rational thinking" ...wow ...the holy grail.

Well for me it means being able to respond to life's challenges and not react to them...

Can I do this? ...can I heckers like ! ..that's why I'm still on here ..lol

R and D ....studying the ways of the dragonfly xxx

Hi Dragonfly... luv the username and luv your renewed determination not to crumble in the face of stressful times. Onwards and upwards, warm regards... S.A 🙂

Hippyty doo dah loving the film Rach, started quoting already -

'Dragonfly calls on us to transform from within and reminds us to feel deeply so we will have the compassion necessary to help ourselves and others' and to 'balance emotion, mental clarity and control'.

Def onwards and upwards SA now I have my wings.

Understand the jigsaw Duncs but interesting the different ways they can be put together. My grandson is like me and looks at the picture on the box then religiously finds all the outside pieces first whereas my grandaughter who at four is already a free spirit randomly finds matching pieces and somehow manages to complete the picture in half the time.

I think my problem is that often my pieces don't match the picture on the box or I end up with six corners then get so angry I throw the pieces on the floor and stamp on them then have to start again with mangled bits that won't fit.

Am liking the analogy and somehow still managing despite many external stresses to hold things together, learn to be me again and live for the now.

DF

in a word 'bespoke'

that post felt like a brick was layed, one of your choosing.

For it you should be proud.

Hi Dragonfly

Just a wee quick "hi" and check in. I'm loving the renewed positive posts.

Strangely, I often think about your posts as I walk with Paddy along the canalside- are you still planning the roadtrip next month?

Take care

Irene

Thanks Duncs and Irene, yes still planning roadtrip but will have to take it slowly day by day depending on his health as ex is refusing any more treatment for his cancer, have taken toil as well so extended leave to a month as worried about him.

o*g my houseboat is 80% glass which is beatiful scenery wise but is actually living in a greenhouse and this flower is wilting big time.

No landline yet again, third time in three weeks and there were so many boats on the river yesterday it was like the Armada had arrived. Neighbour strife as well so added to work nightmares, familly stuff, my joints swollen in the heat and still no building work started, hey ho the simple life just aint so simple at the moment.

People pay fortunes for holidays where I live every day so just being a moany old twatola really and do appreciate how lucky I am and not feeling depressed just hot and bothered I guess as none of it is really important in the scheme of things.

Just need to chill really but easier said than done in this heat.

Vrooooming right back at you D/fly..

Visiting the cumbrian old chap and coal mine reminiscing. Will share the latest cumbrian quote.

'' Talk to the Dr, not the f*****g disease ''

Still trying to figure out what it actually means.

Never no need to feel any guilt when having a moan. Life....

Have a good lazy sunday and will blow a breeze your way..
