I love the way you write and the way you think. Indeed, you have the right ideas and have taken so many positive things from your recovery. <br /><br />I'm learning much about how I fell off the codependency wagon last year after Stef died. I'm doing the one day at a time thing myself right now. Sometimes one minute at a time. But I'm determined to find the kind of peace in my soul that I was getting to before I lost my girl. <br /><br />It would be nice to see some pictures of your boat, as you work on it. I love sailing!<br /><br />Peace - D<br /><br />(p.s. - I sent you an invitation to the blog.

Fall for us is Blast Furnace Season, but our winters are kind of nice! I miss snow though. <br /><br />Dinner on the porch sounds so nice... so does your easing into your retirement. I hope you enjoy the process while getting your new boat ready. <br /><br />:)Her Big Sadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07872091902506034704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-87920966255788742692010-08-25T20:49:07.457-04:002010-08-25T20:49:07.457-04:00beautifully written post - the only peaceful thing...beautifully written post - the only peaceful thing in my day today.

I love fall, and was happy to see you reflect on a memorable summer, and look forward to seeing pictures of your new boat as she progresses.....drybottomgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10702877045042502693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-27482439116596853302010-08-25T12:36:24.363-04:002010-08-25T12:36:24.363-04:00The ability to allow one's self to just relax ...The ability to allow one's self to just relax and be is a gift.~~BRB Queen~~https://www.blogger.com/profile/14076594460274713944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-81186545522190661292010-08-25T12:32:49.444-04:002010-08-25T12:32:49.444-04:00yum your dinner sounds fantastic.
