(((chinup))), Keeping busy is good, even better when it involves meetings, other people, and new friends. Sounds like you're doing great! (I envy you learning to line dance!) Keep on keepin' on....

Chinup, please share your experience at the open AA meeting. There is one coming up and I'm on the fence about going. I have heard it's such a good thing to do and I really want to.

Chinup,

I am so glad that you have found things that you look forward to do.  Life is worth living.  It sounds like you are going to have a great time.

Best,

Tommye

My thought was when I looked at your nic was, which chin??? I am over fifty and we all are wondering, hey where did that chin come from? Why is my skin so crinkly looking? Am I suppose to have thighs that feel like this???

chin up you sound good. you are doing what I did so many years ago.

i want to share this As I have gotten older,more Al Anon tools, I have learned to accept my lonliness, alone ness better. Depressing times too. Sometimes I just accept it and if I feel like laying around I do, or if I want to read or whatever I do, cry, feel the pain, I do.

It has become easier for me to live now. I used to plan things. And now am in a place of serenity. EZ for me to say when my kids are grown huh?

I loved your post, that is progress. I learned too when I kept busy the down times were easier as I would sit and enjoy my flowers and clean floors.

Up here its hard to be down much. Am blessed.People around here go up to the mountains right up here for vacation, and I live here. But truly the busy stuff ended up enriching my sadder times!

I loved this share. hugs,deb

I agree with Debilyn about being (gasp) in my 50's. I get the blues, still. But you really sound like you
have it together. Cheers to you
