Good morning, all!
Enjoy your weekend. For some of us that means a break from work, others keep on working, and for some it's just another day.
Whatever you're doing, make time to be thankful for how far you've come. Practise Gratitude, and Self-Compassion.

Hey @Ilovepenguins ,
Time to make another coffee then, if you can't find your original! I'm just about to start no. 2 myself.
Went to Penguin in Tasmania in July, was beautiful - have you been there?
Old age is definitely setting in for me, aches and pains everywhere - that's aside from those in my head!
Don't know what the temp's going to be here today, but it certainly is lovely out.

@JRMum advice taken! I haven't put this cuppa down 🤣
@Shaz51 thank goodness my kids hate coffee 🤣 my 3 yo is hyper enough as is hahaha
I have never been to Penguin! It's on my bucket list though, one day when I can afford to travel again 😄
@Blackbird11, I know you're from Tazzy, have you ever been to Penguin?
I have 2 dogs, one Kelpie X border collie and one Kelpie X Aussie coolie.....soooooo much energy between them 🤣 I also have a Bengal cat who demands, very loudly, for a bowl of milk every morning and night....he's such an ahole hahaha but love him to bits
We had a sheep for a while but she got out with one of the dogs and went for a walk to the in-laws on the other side of town 🤣 was a funny sight to see my partner walk them home hahaha

@Ilovepenguins @Shaz51
I've made my 2nd coffee, suppose I should get going on the day.
I love the sound of your 2 dogs @Ilovepenguins , what are their names? I have my 2 JR's - Harry who's 11, and Cora, who's just 5 months. I love them to bits, they brighten my day. I also have Mr JRMum, also known as Mr Grumpy! That's the household.
Where're you, @Ilovepenguins in Aus?
