Today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!

[abcowboy]

I think you've got the right attitude Rava, do what you can and try not to let the rest bother you.

Not much new here, we had quite the wind yesterday but not much snow with it so I'm going to head out and check things at the farm. Make sure no trees blew over and check the heat in the buildings as we're going into a deep freeze for a few days starting tonight.

[dill]

Rava, I'm so sorry you are going through so much turmoil. I agree with Cowboy that you have the right attitude, and you must distance yourself from the parts of this situation that are not in your control as best you can. I will say a prayer for you and your dad.

Cowboy, you asked me the other day how Lily looks post-surgery. I honestly haven't seen her teeth yet. She has kept her mouth closed since the surgery except for when she is eating and then her face is in her dish so I really haven't gotten a good look. I'm sure that when the warmer weather returns and she has her tongue out, panting, that's when I'll see it. I does make me a bit sad that she will have a funny smile from now on, but it was necessary for her health and comfort. The broken tooth had jagged edges that her tongue would get caught on and cut when she was running and panting full bore. The bleeding tongue was what drew our attention and the reason we found the badly broken tooth.

Ginger, I'm glad your sister is settling in. Perhaps she make it to 6 weeks. Either way, carp diem!

24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

[Ginger999]

Rava, you have the right attitude. My thoughts are with you.

Waves to all. I'll take another day of freedom!

[Jude58]

Rava, whenever I am troubled about certain situations I always say the serenity prayer so here it is.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change,
the courage to change the things that I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

Looking forward to another day of peace...

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe and thanks for your encouragement. The serenity prayer is exactly what I needed to hear. I am still not sleeping well and trying to turn off my thoughts. Mr. R has been a good resource for listening to me. Today I have made plans to go to a craft festival with several girlfriends and then to lunch. That should help the day pass by quickly and keep me occupied. We are supposed to get some cold weather headed here next week. Our days will be in the high 50’s which is down right freezing for Florida. I have most of my winter clothes up north. May have to make a trip to walmart for some warmer stuff. Ginger, I hope your sister is feeling less homesick and settling into your warmer weather. Dill, it sounds like Lily is making out well since having that jagged tooth removed. Her tongue will definitely be happier. Cowboy, hope you don’t find any weather related issues or problems at the farm. Jude, thanks for the prayer. Hope everyone has a wonderful and sober day. 24 more please and thank you.

Lily might end up with a crooked smile dill lol, but she might cover up the missing tooth with her tongue and look normal.

The Serenity Prayer is my go-to as well Jude if something seems to be getting out of control for me. We have a couple of them hanging on the wall, one in our bedroom, it's the complete prayer that our youngest embroided for me the first year of my quit, and another one in our front entry.

Have fun today with your friends at the craft sale and luncheon Rava, I'm sure it will give you some time away from your thoughts. Things were good at the farm, not too much snow drifting even with the high winds and heat was on in the shop and pumphouse so everything should be fine through the next few days of extremely cold weather.

[Ginger999]

The serenity prayer is a great reminder that I can't control the universe! Thanks, Jude.

Not sure what we are doing today but whatever it is, it wont include AL for me! I'll take another day of freedom

[Jude58]

We've got some pretty cold temps right now but it's going to get worse over the next couple of days. The temps at night are supposed to be in the negative numbers. Brrr...

24 more for all of us please...

[dill]

Yes, same here, Jude. Starting tonight we will be visited by cold coming to us all the way from Siberia! Ugh. It has been a really challenging winter so far. I hope it eases up on us soon.
The Serenity Prayer is a really good one. Thanks for the reminder and for putting the prayer in you post.

My daughter texted that snow is possible this week in New Orleans! Is this weather going to affect you too, Rava?

Cowboy, glad things are all buttoned up at the farm. Keep toasty warm and safe.

Waves Ginger!

24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

Good Morning Cafe. Brr sounds like we are all getting some cold weather (except you Ginger). They are actually calling for some snow in upper Florida as well. Crazy. Dill, I bet your daughter in New Orleans will be surprised. Hope everyone has a good Sunday! I am a little sad that Tik Tok is off the air for now. I have recipes, etc saved on it. Damn. 24 more please and thank you!

[abcowboy]

A nice warm breakfast for a chilly morning in Vegreville...

[abcowboy]

Sounds like most of us are going to experience that cold weather. We'll probably be much colder because of our location, it's -35C (-30F) here this morning, "real feel" or "wind chill" temp is -45C (-49F) and it's supposed to stay with us for a couple of days. Thinking I'll be just staying inside lol.

I've never used TikTok Rava, but sounds like the ban maybe won't last long?

Stay warm and safe y'all!
