Finally, someone in my age group! You remind me that I didn't make black-eyed peas this year, which I know is weird for a Northern gal.

Hi Linda! My name is Katie. We have some things in common- I am sober (off my drug of choice) and I am trying to cut back on drinking as well. I also LOVE photography and I have a DSLR myself that I am trying to get more training in!

I also think I have undiagnosed ADHD. Friends?

I would be pleased to add you.

Re: Hello!

[jayregee]

Can I add you?

[annofowlshire]

Ahhh... sorry! The notification probably slipped past me during a busy period.

Hey, you sound like my kind of journaller. I share your enthusiasm for learning (wish I could go back to uni! Maybe when my kids are older) in general and languages in particular. And I like your sense of humour, I chuckled a couple of times reading your intro. Mine is here, have a look, and if you think you wouldn't mind having me along in your journal I'll add you.

Hi!

You sound interesting and type of person whose journal I'd enjoy. Your intention for the new year struck me because basically that's what I'm aiming for with my own goals this year, my own life did go off the rails a bit in 2022 due to my own mental health issues (and in 2021 too, tbh) and I need to learn to cope better when that happens and possibly prevent it from happening it again. My intro is here, have a look, and if you think you think we could get along I'll add you.

Re: I didn't plan on taking part, but I couldn't resist ;)

Hi Katie! Thanks for adding me, I added you back!

[prowler_pilot]

Thanks! I've just added you back :)

[prowler_pilot]

Thanks! I've just added you back! :)

[solteronita]

Adding you! Love your new year walk tradition. I want to find new places to do nature walks this year since I've stuck to hikes close to home for a long while.

[solteronita]

Adding you. I'm also rewatching Gilmore Girls. :D

[annofowlshire]

Hi, added!

I think the key for me to remember this year is that things are going to happen, and I'm going to get derailed during them, but the quicker I remember to get back to doing the habits/practices that keep me on track, the quicker I'll be on my way again. I think a lot of last year going completely off the rails was that by the time whatever initial chaos had subsided, I didn't get back into those helpful habits/practices. I just... kept drifting.

At least, that's the theory :)

[falena]

Added you back!

That sounds like a smart plan and one I should try and put into practice too when derailment inevitably happens. Thanks for the reminder.

Yeah, theory is easier than practice but zeroing in on that is always the first step to success, isn't it? :)

[pasta]

Geez, how are you guys not friends yet. You guys would totally get along. XD

[pianogurl330]

Sure! Adding you now! :)

[silviarambles]

Now we are XD

[pianogurl330]

I like Virgin River! We have some common interests and mutuals in common. Would you like to be friends? :)

[falena]

Hi, you sound like my kind of journal person. I'm definitely very bookish though possibly not as creative as you are. Congrats on getting into your dream university! It's brilliant, I'd love to go back to uni, maybe once my kids are older. My intro is here, have a look, and if you think we could get along I'll add you.

[pianogurl330]

I started on LJ as well and came over here. Traveling and walks in nature sounds so fun! Want to be friends?

[pianogurl330]

Hi! We have some similar interests and similar mutuals. Would you like to be friends? :)

[howsmyenglish]

You sound like someone I might like. Have a look at my journal to see if you'd like to give it a try :)

[pianogurl330]

Hi! I like to read about sci-fi and fantasy as well! We have some common interests and mutuals in common. Would you like to be friends?

[pianogurl330]

I love Gilmore Girls! And gardening! We also have some mutuals in common. Would you like to be friends? :)
