WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR APRIL 2018

barbiecat

Heather, Congratulations on the launching of your book. It will be so meaningful to so many people.

Rebecca, that would be a wonderful retreat at your house. I could teach line dance along with everything else we'll be doing.

I have been sleeping much better since I made meditation a regular part of my life. What I now about meditation I learned primarily from reading Dan Harris's two books, "10% Happier" and "Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics".

Today started as a sunny beautiful day and I had high hopes of spending time in the yard. When I finished my household chores and took out the garbage can, there was rain mixed with hail, so no yard work today.

Stats for today:
*16,000 steps
*200 minutes walking Sasha and Bessie
*148 minutes riding the exercise bike
*one minute 15 second plank

I too down loaded your book first thing I saw your post. Read part of the intro but had an appointment for my macular degeneration check, anxious to get reading it.

I think you are amazing. . By the way, I am a counter and patterns person myself.

Rebecca, love your thought of ringing us all up for a cup of tea. What a fun get together that would be. Nice posted pictures.

If I could make it happen I would! Where in Washington are you Betsy? I'm in Whidbey island. I am kind of a homebody, and hate long drives, but I do have this fantasy that we're all in this comute, planting veggies, sitting in hot tubs, and clapping as Heather darts by running, and all the ladies that bicycle whiz by! It's great to ponder!
Rebecca

Rebecca, I'm in. One thing though, we have to bring Heather in from running at dinner time. I would be in heaven to attend one of her dinners. I love your imagination

Oh and some one really needs to ask Wendy NOT to have her honey bees in our "bed".

Did Jillian Michael’s Banish Fat Boost Metabolism DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to do the water class.

Heather – I’m so very proud of you writing that book. You’ve been thru so much. I can’t wait to read it!

Rye – I can’t help wondering how we managed to keep those non-weighted hula hoops up for so long when we were little?? I must have missed the fact that Joyce is on Facebook

Lisa – jeans for $5 and $4 – that’s well worth it!

Carol – why not make a trip to NC and you can see the ceramics in person?????? You're always welcome!

Matchka – I think of you and your hubby all the time

Suebdew – only good thoughts and prayers for Connor

Kristine and Felicia and tchickman – welcome!

Mojayhawker – welcome! Glad you jumped right in

As I’ve said before – Rebecca, you are a hoot!

I’m always so impressed with anyone who can grow flowers. I have this uncanny ability to kill everything except weeds.

Janetr – I, too, laughed at the bee typo.

Went to Rummikub tonight. I didn’t have dinner and guess I probably overate there.

Sue: Your flowers are gorgeous. What a lovely yard! Keeping your grandson in my good thoughts.

Lisa: I hope your son appreciates the tough love sooner rather than later. It takes a while for some of us to get the message. I am the slow person more often than I'd like to admit. :embarassed:

Evelyn: I don't own a kindle either, but my phone and my computer both work for reading books. I still like the feel of a book in my hands from time to time. Usually it is a cookbook, but not always.

Barbie: I would love to take your line dance classes someday but I'd likely goof up and might even cause wrecks among the dancers. My biggest challenge in dancing is direction. I get left and right mixed up most of the time. :embarassed:


We got quite a few things done today and I've irritated DH along the way. He's gone up to bed already. Our day started before morning light when our smoke detector went nuts. We got the batteries changed in the one that uses them. There are two at the top of the stairs by the bedrooms and a third on the ground floor. It was the two upstairs that went off. It is all taken care of now. Thank goodness.

Off to York today. Didn't sleep too well with excitement, but I seem to be keeping the cystitis /thrush under control. I'm still drinking cranberry juice.
It suddenly struck me this morning that DH may be getting his anxiety back because I'm going to be away for a couple of nights. He wouldn't say anything. He will be fine.
Yesterday we read through the excursions brochure for the cruise and decided on which ones we want to go on. Picked four. One is a hike!!! One a train ride and one a small boat trip and waterfall. One is Hitler 's army holiday camp.

I'm having my book delivered to my friend's place in York because I have never seen seen a copy and I will have left before my copies are delivered today. She can have it as a present. Excited to see an actual physical copy!!!!!
Please write reviews everyone. Love you
I will update you on my trip. Going to do slightly less exercise this morning because I will be walking around York. Must get in the strength training though.

Stopping by to let off some steam. I'm sitting outside the lecture venue, which is locked. A guy comes by inspecting the lecture rooms. He goes in, and when he comes out I ask if I can go in now, as I'm lecturing there soon. With a bit of a sneer he says No, the room will unlock automatically at the booked time.

Thanks a lot, I say. The room is booked for 8:45 and the time is now 8:37.

His response: It's all about money, you see.

GRRRRR! Of course he's right, it IS all about money these days. I just wish it wasn't.

Thanks for listening. :flowerforyou:

Have a nice trip Heather.

Heather - done and dusted - review should be showing up soon... it's really good! And deeply disturbing, at the same time. So many echoes in my own life, while having a completely different experience. But it does explain some of my own behaviors from that time in different ways, and thank you for that.

I am on the train! Had trouble getting on the WiFi but I've made it at last.
Glad quite a few of you are enjoying the book. You seem to be quick readers! I really wanted to convey a flavour of the times as well as champion the child I was and give other children a voice. We don't often hear about the lived experience.
Again, thank you my dear friends.
