She's BaaAAAAAaaaack!

 

I'm Back....  (im pretty sure anyway). I don't have much time at the moment but had to check in...  Haven't been on the site since a week and a half ago - kind of got offtrack for a bit after my decadent (but very fun) weekend in Reno...  I had a couple cigs while I was there - but no more - I am still quit!  thats a good thing...  I'm floundering about a bit feeling strange - things in my life are in an odd place - I had let my apartment get messy which is my personal signal that things are messy inside myself too - last night i cleaned and woke up feeling much better....  I need to refocus myself. I haven't really done anything "bad", but I'm not really working at doing anything "good" either at the moment.  As usual, after my long absence I went to the toolbox this morning to hear the video on the "poker game" - it was just what I needed.  in the reading portion at the end, there was a part about winning/losing and looking at the big picture - that was helpful for me....

 

"  If you understand that the long run is what counts, you’ll never have a bad attitude when losing. You’ll never become desperate during an individual situation. You also won’t get overly ecstatic about an individual win. I saw losers at my father’s game so happy over a single big pot that they lost perspective on how they were doing in the game. Or they would win a game and feel pretty confident, only to come back the next week and lose twice as much as they previously won.  The game is won by being consistent and working at your overall life. Remember, success is in the “whole.”

     Life is not a single moment, and you need to play to do your best.  Accept your bad hands and come on, people, ENJOY IT!"  (Coach)

welcome back!

Glad you had a little holiday from yourself and came back ready to take on regular life again- good on ya!

It's glorious here today so I'm off to explore the hand I've just dealt myself...

 

Good to see you back!

 

Things in my own life also being in an odd place, if perhaps for different reasons,  I can understand and empathise with your floundering about a bit feeling strange.  For the past few weeks, I've been doing more than a bit of that myself.

 

It's good to see you back, Amanda.  Perhaps like spring salmon we can be a support to each other as we navigate our way between the rocks on our swim upstream.  (Of course, we probably live too far from each other to spawn at the end of it all. So, maybe just a cheery mutual "congratulations" will have to suffice when we finish.)

 

Glad your back

You make me smile You make me smile

Missed Ya!

I kept checking your blog site, but you were gone, gone, gone.  It made me wonder if you had dropped out or something, but no, then you wouldn't have changed your picture again!  Don't quit quitting!

Way to go! Way to go!
