Well last week september.. Crazy 

Weather grim here..i need to do some gsrden work too. 

Need provisions,.. Shops are calling 

Felt complacent yesterday. Urge to buy scratch card but didnt as i knew it was a pack of daft to re start pointless habits. The human side of me will always prevail st times..

All for now..

Stay safe all

Boo

Hi Boo,

I took the kids to see that film last week. My boys loved it but daughter not so much.

Winter is coming. I feel your pain. Rain, cold and grey skies but we’ll get through it. The excitement of Christmas is just around the corner. 

Keep running, keeping walking Henry and keep meeting up with friends.

Take care.

RR

Good Morning Boo,

Congratulations on two years gamble free. A wonderful achievement.

Its so bizarre. I was happier for you reading your post in bed late last night than I was for myself last week. I kind of took my milestone for granted and never gave it much of a thought but this is so wrong. Us humans take things for granted far too often. How quickly I forget the turmoil and pain of two years ago.

I wonder now, as I type this message, where would we be now if we hadn’t stopped two years ago. How much debt? How much chaos? How much pain? How would our self esteem be? What about relationships? Two years of not gambling is fabulous. You have done so well.

When I think about both of our journeys now I recall other things taken for granted - the timeline. We quit gambling through a time of National medical disaster and National lockdown - both unprecedented in my lifetime. These were periods of worry and concern. These were periods of isolation and often loneliness with little to do to pass time yet we still prevailed. We both endured loss during difficult times yet were never sidetracked, never looked for any excuses.

I am very proud of you. You are a person of tremendous character I think.

I hope you take the time to realise your accomplishment and give yourself a big pat on the back. Well done.

RR

Good Morning Boo,

Thank you for your quick reply.

I agree with all that you say.

The older I get the more November to February seems to affect me. Last October we had new neighbours move in and we barely spoke to them until Spring time - you just don’t see people the same. My kids will be out playing with friends in the street all through summer and then as soon as the clocks change, along with the weather, they barely get out.

I have always been a sociable person who loves meeting up with friends etc but I’ve hardly seen any friends in what seems like a very long time bar the odd occasion. Covid and restrictions are responsible of course and we just need to accept this but it’s tough.

Anyway, Christmas is coming and that is a magical time of year and I’m already looking forward to that. Just need to focus on good things at the moment and get through the change in season.

I definitely need to find more time for running. It has become so important to me in the past year or so.

P.S. My wife has started to make some noise about wanting a dog. I’m unsure. I was always a dog person and had dogs growing up but my wife was a cat person and so we got a cat. The poor cat died last year and we were all devastated. I’m so used to a cat now I don’t know if we’d cope with a dog. I think my daughter would love a new kitten - she was so upset when our cat died. She still keeps a picture of our cat by her bed. Bless her.

Hello 

Well our snow has gone and its warmer.. Brr its been cold. Heating ramped up.

Generally life running smoothly.. Reading st the mo around the world in 80 days.. Easy read and nice story. Jigsaw abandoned as henry likes to keep investigating the pieces..

Any thoughts on gambling. Yes but not strong urges. I think this time of year is a money thinker month.. Expense of christmas etc.

Just sat here waiting for daylight.. 20th if this month brings lighter evenings slightly.

Everyone take care.

Boo

Good Morning Boo,

I hope you are well.

I am reading a John Grisham book called the Judge’s List. It’s fabulous. I am reading more in the autumn/winter and loving it.

I hope you have nice plans for Christmas and I hope the dog is enjoying his winter walks and then being all cosy indoors.

Take care.

RR
