What Are You Thinking? Continued 14

Wish I hadn't smacked my nose so hard. I suffer for my art.

The sky is saphire blue, sunlight golden and warm, the breeze is gentle with a chill. Leaves spiral and swoop downward from the trees, one after another, dancing to dance unheard tune. I love days like this- the first kiss of autumn and all it brings. But not today. I want to find a pool of golden light to curl up in and sob.

*hands the lady a tissue*

I know it's not the least bit helpful, but don't shy away from feeling what you need to feel. Pain and hurt suck, but keeping them bottled up is so much worse.

And you have friends here if you need to talk about it. Least we can do for someone who is always there for us!

Which brand? I am always looking for a good ginger beer.

Wegman's has its own brand. But their stores are in PA. I really liked it.

The brand I bought locally, Fever Tree, was good but not as good as Wegman's.

 

[MiaBabe23]

Terrible advice. Do not take Tylenol when consuming alcohol, EVER!

I didn’t have any, and won’t!

Noah Kahan sings about "the season of the sticks," in New England, feeling baren after a break up. I appreciate the metaphor, but it doesn't sing to me. Out in the PNW we have forest fires, smoke season. Damaging, yes. Necessary, maybe. Part of life, absolutely. Usually it is distant, coloring the sun's rise and set. But when the fire is close -- personal -- the smoke rolls like a wave. The sun is either angry red or unseen, and the shadows chang. It burns your eyes. Gets in your chest and makes it hard to breathe deeply. Gets in your mouth, on your tongue, flavoring everything with a little sorrow. Soaks into everything and feels like it will never get clean. And you know it is temporary, it will pass. But in the smoke, it doesn't feel like it.

That is what it feels for me -- the Smoke Season.

I have had Fever Tree. I don't hate it, but I don't love it.

Reeds Ginger Brew - Strongest is my go to, but I am thinking of making my own.

 

[LupineOne]

So. Much. Laundry.
And my lawn still looks like some asshole was playing Jumanji when I was gone.

 

[Mr_bogey]

The light brings healing qualities with it. It warms the heart and heals the soul. I hope that you find that pool of golden light. Let it take away your tears so that you enjoy the dancing leaves and the soon to be crispness that fall brings.

Love this.

You are a good man.

They are in Maryland as well.

I’m missing my brother. I came across a video of him cracking jokes while cutting hay in his new tractor- he got it 4 or 5 months before he died. I can hear the hoarseness in his voice that I thought was just allergies. I know there’s nothing that could have changed the trajectory, but man I wish I would have spent more time.

We need a sad & love & hug react.

I am sorry for your loss, but happy for your love for him.

He was an excellent person. I’m a better person because he was who he was.
Thank you for the kindness

In the end, all we are are the stories we leave. All we can hope for is that those we love can say the story was a good one.

 

[Girly_girl]

Glad I got home before the downpour.

Let me know how that goes. I was thinking of looking at doing that. I use ginger root already to make tea.

I'm ready for turkey and grippos...

Guys! I had tea today too, first time in a while... But I was feeling blah....
Lipton makes a "stress less" that in love the flavors of, and usually makes me pretty mellow too...
I did a double shot....
That is all.... I just wanted to participate in the tea!

There's never enough time that would have helped the loss. At least, for me.

My heart goes out to you.

I really feel that. I keep thinking it’ll get easier. The spring and fall are the hardest.

The next step I take in my career is going to be tough but will worth it. I can either grow or allow myself to stagnate and dwell in the negativity.
