    Hello Modsters!

    Sounds like we are all in a mob or something when I greet you all like that. Happy October 1st. I love this time of year. Up in NY the leaves start changing and it's just incredible. I wish it could stay like this all year round. We have the nice warm temps in the day and cool temps at night..perfect.

    Today I begin my journey of being AF for the month as well as a couple other things like exercising in some fashion and eating better. I am just going to take each day as it comes and see how it goes.

    I hope you all have a wonderful day!! Take care.

    Beaches .... Isn't it funny ... I'm at the opposite end. We're in spring and I wish it could stay like this all year around. At present, all my grass is green and I MUST mow for at least 2 hrs per day in order to keep up with the new growth. Buds are forming on most trees, some are in blossom, fresh juvenile leaves are sprouting on others. Tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, jonquils and Dutch irises are stunning. Liliums are tall and full of promise, roses are forming buds. Strawberries are setting fruit. There is a chorus of frogs and an abundance of birds heralding each new dawn.

    Life is deliciously calm.

    I'm still modsing nicely but have decided to give up coffee for October. I've also decided to stop watching mindless TV. I need and want to read more.

    Take care, all of you.

        Good morning all!

        Beaches that sounds so very pretty. We are going for the cottonwoods turning gold. Not a ton of maples so not that burnt orange, fire red look you get back East.

        Tawny, beautiful. I am there! I love the smell of fresh cut grass.

        It does sound like a super time of year throughout the world. We should have some incredibly positive energy for all the great weather world wide! I hear a lot of optimism on the boards!

        Chrysa, great to see you too!

        One day at a time will do it - have a great day all.

        Lots of love,
        Mary

            Morning all!

            Good luck to everyone on their October goals. One day at a time is the only way for me to do it as well. I had a productive weekend so am starting the week off on a good foot.

            Have a great day!!!

              Everone's weather sounds so fantastic! Here it has not stopped raining for days on end and we have flood warnings for this afternoon. I was AF yesterday and will be AF again today. I am offically on the 11 day countdown for my cruise!

              Have a great day everyone!

                        Jen that is so totally awesome!! We are all very proud of you!!

                        Beaches, I know you can do this and it is going to be easier than you imagine looking at it from October 1. I think by the end of October, alcohol will not be on your radar very much any more. We are all so proud of you too!

                        PP, the cruise sounds just wonderful! Great goal too! Keeps everyone smiling . . . all day!! The rewards are endless!

                          Thanks Mary! I am very motivated right now. I am prepared for the beginning to be a bit of a struggle and then it becoming easier with time. Knowing that, I have stocked up on the supplements (every single one I could get my hands on here) and I bought the Hypno CD's for moms. Before Oct 1 began I listened to Louise Hays You can Heal your Life and now I am listening to it again.
                          I just have to remember to take very deep breaths when the triggers come rushing at me and my anxiety level hits the roof (which happens at least a couple times a day) just to get back to a state of calm. Then I will be fine. I need to grab for another drink other than wine.

                              Right Arm Jenna!:goodjob: 30 days! I haven't done that in years,...and 21 of those were in in-patient treatment...(does that even count? )

                              The leaves are changing here as well, looking pretty. I still have a few roses blooming too!:h Gotta love that.

                              We had our first really winter like windy, rainy day yesterday, so last night @ work was actually slow. We only have 2 girls on tonight... so we'll probably get slammed. (Mondays get busy as we're one of the few places open in the 2 horse town...)

                              I do love the Fall, but I also kind of dread it, because I know the rains will be coming for the next 6 months, with lots of wind...and definately no kayaking around here! The rivers swell and turn into raging torrents, filled with huge logs & debris. Hopefully we'll still get another month or 2 of sun...
                              It is exciting to bundle up & go hike along the beach trails though, during some of the winter storms.

                              Happy Fall to those in this Northern Hemisphere & Happy Spring to all you Down Unda!
                              Big Hugs!
