There is no need to apologize... you can post whenever you want... we will be here.
That sounds kind of exciting being back in Poland... I hope your surgery went well and you are getting your strength back.
That is great news that your father quit drinking... I hope he does well with his sobriety... that is really amazing after 40 years to quit drinking.
You'll be in my thoughts and prayers,
Dave
Like Dave said - never any need to apologise!
I am sorry you feel down at the moment and want to send you love and prayers that you feel better soon.
I think part of this share is missing on my screen and Dave is making reference to stuff that isn't coming up on my screen.
Poland looks beautiful to me - I have always thought how beautiful it looks when I have seen pictures of it on TV. In Manchester we have quite alot of workers from Poland and they are amazing! Just like you -they speak English beautifully. We have some foods from Poland in the supermarket too!!!
I watch Strictly Come Dancing on the BBC on a Saturday night and one of the dancers is Polish - she is married to an english dancer called James. Her name is Ola and she is a stunning dancer.
It is always lovely to hear you share (((Anna))) and I hope you feel better soon.
Love always

Thank you very much...
Most of my post went missing but I am in better form today so there is no point to write that again.
After i wrote that yesterday I start thinking what I would reply on that post myself and I did few things to help myself.
I was always very emotional but during last month Im in crying mood so I might have a mild form of depresion. I know that I have to get some profesional help but I can,t force myself to do that. That the thing that I did nothing about that after I wrote the post yesterday.
I am having a flu at the moment so why I am a bit down as well.
I can,t decide if to go back to Poland for good or to stay in Ireland where I live know. I have more friends in Ireland now than in Poland, I have work, not that I really like what I do but I have money for all my expences.I have a boyfriend, he is polish but he doesn,t want to go back to Poland, all my live is in Ireland now. I spend last month in Poland and I realise how much I miss it why I,m so emotional I think.
I,m doing lots of walking, I,m spending time with my family, I,m visiting old friends and I know as well that that is not like real life That is like a holiday, I don,t have to work, I,m resting alot after surgery, I don,t have any responsibilities. Today I decided to go back to Ireland next week, I,m well enough right now I don,t need to stay on sick leave any longer. I.m sure that my HP will help me.
sending you lots of love
Anna
So Glad to hear from you :) And I do hope that you are Healing Well since your Surgery... Sounds like alot to deal with in a short time, and I"m bettin HP will def. take care of you and what ever your Choice May be...
Kuddo's to your Dad for Stopping Drinking, I'm sure he too is strugglin with his new change, but Faith Always Seems to be near if you believe in it...At Least it Seems true for Me anyway... I have Only Quit a Year ago, but it was def, something I can Now Say I'm proud i Did...
I have never been to Either Place you live, but I have heard wonderful things of Both, I was born a Country Girl and I have a feeling will remain one thru out my Years... Buy the Grace of God I pray...
You are Doing Wonderful in your Recovery, and if ya Have to Cry.. Do So... I Would imagine with your current status, being home, around old family & Friends it is Very Emotional... And thats OK... Feel the Feelings and Release them to HP..
Sending Healing Loving Prayers your way... and I'm with the Other 2... No Need to say Sorry, I'm Just Glad your Here, Regardless of What it took to make it happen ;0)
Friends In Recovery...
Oneness... :-)
Goodness - what an emotional time for you. Like (((Oneness)))) says, you are doing wonderfully in your recovery and for sure your HP who loves you very very much will take care of you wherever you choose to be. ..Ireland is beautiful too and like you so wisely point out, being on 'holiday' can be so different to being somewhere all the time.
You are so so wise and seem so very intune with that 'inner voice' of your HP.
Gosh- to stop drinking for 2 months after 40 years is incredible....I pray your Dad finds the strength and peace that comes with recovery.
Lots of love to you and I will keep you in my prayers that you feel much better soon and that you too find peace and joy and that beautiful things come to you.. YOU SO DESERVE IT.
You are VERY loved (((Anna))
I,m much more better today, I decided to go back to Ireland and I feel at peace...
Thank you so much for all your word
Anna
It is a true sign of recovery when we think of our choices and then go with what is healthy for us.
Glad you are on the mend and wishing you a safe journey back to Ireland...
And I'm a firm believer in crying... if you need to cry... do it... it is a wonderful way to cleanse the soul...
In my thoughts and prayers,
Dave
Isn't peace great? It's a beautiful side-effect of making the right choice for one's self.
Wishing you continued peace, healing and recovery (physical and otherwise!)
