Thought for the day

[Linda]

Yes I am a nice person

but if you cross the

line  to many times

everything can change

very quickly

 

This shows my attitude today

not to positive need to work

on that attitude!!! 

[Linda]

I believe life is better

when you turn up the music

eat to much chocolate

walk barefoot 

talk about weird stuff

with weird people

hug stranger and go

on adventures

Those things won't make

life perfect but they sure

this strange ride more fun

[Linda]

A walk down a country road

is good for body heart

and soul

[Linda]

Its okay to look back and

see what went wrong.

its ok to observe how

our actions have contributed

to some of our current challenges

but don't live there don't allow

yourself to wallow in regret

and defeat rise up forgive

move on

 

 

 

 

 

[Linda]

Take care of yourself

go for a walk eat your

favorite food get a haircut

cry if you need to take

a vacation have a drink

do what you need to do

take care of yourself

because at the end

of the day you're all

you've got

[catlover]

Great words Linda.  Thank you.

[Linda]

The universe is

saying to you today

let go of attachments

to old memories

release what needs releasing

and enjoy life don't be a prisoner

of your past be a creator

of your future starting now

[Linda]

Its time to just be happy

being angry sad and

overthinking  isn't

worth it anymore

just let things flow

be positive

[Linda]

Its ok if you fall down

and lose your spark

just make sure that

when you get back

up you rise as the

whole damm fire

[Opah]

Turn your processor off every now and again,  Let the world solve its own problems for a bit.   Load up on Loving happy memories,  run, swim, jog swing, play or just relax. step back and shift your self into low gear.

There will always be world problems to solve, but one day you are going to look up and your kids will be grown  that restraunt you always said "we need to go to" is now closed or the one you really wanted to say I love you to is gone.

Your Emotional, Mental and physical health should be #1 on your list

[Opah]

I f an angle came down and told you they could grant you one wish,

What would your wish be ?

World Peace ?  A end to Illness,  For all evil to be gone ?  there are catch 22s in almost all wishes, so think about what your wish would be ?

 Mine would be simple. or would it ?  I would wish to be happy and then POOOF   

I could end up One Happy little Shit !

[Linda]

Its okay to be sad

after making the

right decision

[Linda]

Happiness is not

the absence of

problems. It the

ability to deal

with them

[Opah]

Has dancing really changed much thru the years ?  let see what you think 

 

 

[Opah]

 

Sunday, Sunday So good to me 
Sunday mornin', it was all I hoped it would be
Oh Sunday mornin', Sunday mornin' couldn't guarantee 
That Sunday evenin' you would still be here with me

Sunday, Sunday, can't trust that day
Sunday, Sunday, sometimes it just turns out that way
Oh Sunday mornin' you gave me no warnin' of what was to be
Oh Sunday, Sunday, how could you leave and not take me

Every other day, every other day
Every other day, every other day of the week is fine, yeah
But whenever Sunday comes, but whenever Sunday comes
But whenever Sunday comes, you can find me cryin' all of the time

Sunday, Sunday So good to me 
Sunday mornin', it was all I hoped it would be
But Sunday mornin', Sunday mornin' couldn't guarantee
That Sunday evenin' you would still be here with me

Every other day, every other day
Every other day, every other day of the week is fine, yeah
But whenever Sunday comes, but whenever Sunday comes
But whenever Sunday comes, you can find me cryin' all of the time

Sunday, Sunday Can't trust that day 
Sunday, Sunday It just turns out that way 
Whoa Sunday, Sunday Won't go away 
Sunday, Sunday It's here to stay 
Oh Sunday, Sunday Whoa Sunday, cant trust that day

Menudo didn't help this morning, regular start time 10am

First text message 6am and its been running ever since

So my normallt soft start 10 hour Sunday has now be came this Head banging running around people freaking out  14 hour day

 Have a hard time getting this picture of Me kicked back out on the smoking patio with a nice Long Sweet Bourbon   cigar, I can taste the Bourbon and then the sweetness on my lips., then I wake up and shovel another spoon of menudo into my face.  I have noticed that I have been building up my sugar free hard candies.

come to think about it I have not made it a year since I started my quit a could years ago.  !

 well damn it I want my year ! I want my forever ! No crappy morning Sunday or other is going to take that away from me !

But it is still amazing how real your addiction  can make your illusions seem

Opah you have sighted in on your quit, focused, and pulled the trigger. You're a hunter- you know once you pull the trigger you can't take it back, you live with the conc3quences of your decision.

You quit smoking. You already pulled that trigger. There is no going back. Get that through your head and it'll be much easier!! Time to skin that quit, salt it, stretch it out and pin it in place

[Katgirl]

Keep up the good work, Opah! I agree with you about Simon and Garfunkel. They are certainly a favorite of mine. I was lucky enough to see them perform. In fact, I got to hear Art sing “Bridge Over Troubled Waters” the very first time he performed it live, in concert. Great memory! 

[Opah]

'You quit smoking. You already pulled that trigger. There is no going back. Get that through your head and it'll be much easier!! Time to skin that quit, salt it, stretch it out and pin it in place"

Ace you have such sweet Quit talk, you silver tonged devil  !

and you are correct when I level down my barrel and put anything in my cross hairs it is a done deal
