keep smiling

I missed yesterday (on this topic), but I was in the chatroom a bit, so that sort of counts instead. Still clean (Thank God).

As an aside, In the past 2 weeks I've gotten more Karma points than I have in the 6 months before, without writing much more than emojis. I think I'm on to something...

Still clean? Great to hear my friend

Where's the decency?
I gave you the complete unadulterated list of smileys and you didn't use one??

I guess other in a flatline mood, Keep on Trucking / Posting my friend 

:>,  A mini smile for all your next miles.

I was feeling a little sad/depressed for absolutely no reason at all today (except maybe withdrawal...) and my mind started wandering to places it shouldn't. I was able to dispel the thought pretty easily with (hopefully) no further negative effects, but I would've much preferred if it wouldn't have wandered to begin with.

Life would be so much simpler without a mind...

It would be simpler without a ...... as well.
We gotta run with that which is given to us.

I don't really see how life would be simpler without a nose, but if you really think... waaaait a minute, you're referring to something else, aren't you? 

Mr. Cordnoy, I'm fairly certainty I've said this here before, but I feel like I must repeat myself. Your contributions here are always top notch, almost always eliciting at the least a chuckle (if not an uproarious laugh) while often being deep and profound at the same time. Thank you again for contributing!

It was a tough night last night (so bad, I'm even checking in during the day). While I didn't fall, I got way too scarily close.

I know what caused it though. It's a website that has quite a bit of legitimate material on it, yet I somehow always end up on the bad side of it... Frankly, I should've blocked this website a long time ago (it was responsible in the past four both falls and almost-falls). I guess I just kept hoping it wouldn't be too triggering, but I guess I was wrong.

Warning: Spoiler!

Have a day of victory,
Seek help from GYE friends,
Review material available.
Do not leave until you are inspired to be all you can be.
I will daily seek my Maker, and as I do what is asked, I shall bless His name, and pray for another duty.
