There is a brand new day on the Horizon and I’m ready to do NOTHING!

Pretty much. I came home and NOTHING but crashed. Just waking up now and decided to peek in and see what you all are doing. A NOTHING fix is just what i need about now.

NOTHING is of no value unless it's shared so I guess now that you're here I guess you can say I am.

Although posts were few today, there was a lot of emotion and sentiment expressed. I remember when NOTHING first started feelings were a no-no. We certainly have evolved over the past year. Sharing gives new meaning to NOTHING. Fw gave some much appreciated encouraging words as did Nucky despite his sorrow.

I know your post was probably just something you pulled out of.....the air......and not meant for me personally, but I've really been taking the time to listen and think about people's words lately. Right now, it appears that I am at that very crossroad in my life. Change is something I rarely cower from, but when it affects others I struggle. I'm used to being the fixer, the giver, and rarely expect much from others. That's what I get for always striving to be independent. It can be a good thing, but when taken to extremes, like anything else, it can also do harm to myself and others.

Another good saying I heard from a dear friend recently was to quit trying to fix things and start realizing. So now realizing has become my mantra to help me to deal with the possible changes by bringing to light truth first, then making decisions based on that and not emotion or putting yet another temporary fix on a situation. Life is NOTHING but too short to waste at this point.

Sorry to bore you all this fine morning. Any day we wake up is a good day, right? I'll try not to make NOTHING a downer or too much like "Dear Diary" - lol. That's why I was hesitating yesterday to continue posting here, but I value your (all of my NOTHING buddies) wisdom and encouragement. And the laughs on here is what often gets me through the day so please carry on. I mean really......CARRY ON :pepper2: :laugh:

Not bored happy to listen. NOTHING is not judgmental since all of us have been through peaks and valleys. For now we are sitting on a peak coming out of a valley but I know that can turn around in an instant.

Thanks, fw. You are NOTHING but right about what you say. As I said before, my tendency would probably be to withdraw, but I hate to let all of you down, especially K. He has worked hard to keep this thread going despite a LOT of ups and downs.

And to be honest, selfishly speaking, this thread keeps me going and is probably NOTHING I should avoid. Lots of care and camaraderie (or is it comradery....hmm) on here and the laughs can be exceptional. Why give that up during trying times??

My tendency is to withdraw also but NOTHING friends are great, kind of like a virtual reality you can escape to when you need it.

fw102807 07-29-2018 07:59 AM

Just realized with all my blabbering I went from being Gold to being Platinum. Kind of like Royal Carribbean except it's not going to help me to get free booze just more NOTHING.

Ever hear of the Serenity Prayer? NOTHING but words to live by..

God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
As it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
If I surrender to His Will;
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life
And supremely happy with Him
Forever and ever in the next.
Amen.
