@Go_Gal_Grow Thanks so much for sharing. Way to glow, gal! Very inspiring story of a healthy journey.

@Tabatha_Cain - Excited for you this week. Congrats on closing! Have a fun time moving this week. Very nice.

@patti241 - Good morning! @Kurtize - our first snowfall comes today. Yay! Can't leave winter behind until.... @Dianedoessmiles1 - We ordered her a fitting 100th birthday bouquet. She loves purple and roses and flowers so I'm excited she'll get it today a day early. I often send her cards. She always loves them too! My list…

@Patti241 - oh what GOOD NEWS! He must be so happy. You too! @Kurtize - Amen to February! @Dianedoessmiles1 - looks like we are getting our snow - up to 7" forecast - on DMIL's birthday. We will not be traveling to see her and family on her day. Turns out having her "gender-reveal" party last July was a great idea! LOL.…

@DNjoys - Amen! Thank you for sharing. @patti241- same. I'm wintered out and we haven't even had snow! Forecast for this week. I can see an end coming and I'm grateful for that. @dianedoessmiles1- My DMIL is a self described - Tough old bird. A God fearing Michigan farm girl - At peace with her existence, she's always…

@Kurtize - That's such an awesome deal for you. Florence is wonderful. Best wishes as you make the move. @Patti241 - That is good news for him. Did you have to move to the other hospital? Prayers for you both. @Dianedoessmiles1 - same ole dawg here. Slower, yet still moving! WOOF! Got the puzzle done. Cute, food trucks on…

@Dianedoessmiles1 - Glad to hear of a quick rebound. Now hurry and shake that bug! @Patti241- just catching up. What's the latest on your friend? Hugs and prayers for you. @Kurtize - So glad to hear of your DH's good news. Where in Oregon are you moving? We live in EO on the Columbia River near Pendleton.

@patti241 - so sorry to hear your friend is still no better. Sending you some love and good energy. My day started strong and then I fizzled out. Both papashop and I are dragging around today. Going to call it a day and hope for tomorrow. My best to all of you.

Dropping by to say, "hi!". Papashop and I are learning to line dance. We want to be able to dance to our DGS's music when we see him. With 4 left feet, we are slowly getting better. 🎶 @Dianedoessmiles1 - YouTube has great dance moves, we are able to watch and learn. New tricks for old dogs!

@Patti241 - Prayers for you and your friend. It must be exhausting for you - back and forth to hospital with slow progress. Hang in there. @Kurtize - Animal blankets here too! Sure do appreciate them this time of year. @Dianedoessmiles1 - Snow report?

@patti241 - Good morning. How is your friend today? You getting enough rest? @Dianedoessmiles1 - We have a smart TV and an antenna for local channels. No FOX - we don't pick it up here in our area. Their signal is out of range - over a big hill from us. I agree the new cheapy antennas do work good. Our DS came for the…

@Patti241 - Good morning, Patti. Very sorry to hear your friend is back to ICU. 🙏 Please take good care. @Tabatha_Cain - Good luck with your upcoming move. Hope for it to all go smoothly for you. As for the closing dates wonky, go with your gut feelings. You know best. @Dianedoessmiles1 - Snow it is then! Yes Papashop is…

@Kurtize - More wise words. @Dianedoessmiles1 - Love youTube for learning. Thought I should post this while thinking of it. You know the HALT system for hunger? Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired? My issue with it - It has negative words I don't want to advertise. I had an enlightened moment. LOL The fridge with our new…

@Dianedoessmiles1 - That's a puzzle! So cool. WTG listening to your body and doing what you can. I've been fortunate to continue daily yoga practice and it sure makes a difference for my mobility and overall fitness. Just keep plugging along! @Patti241 - how's your friend today? Sure hoping for improvement.

@Dianedoessmiles1 - Your volunteer group sounds fun. Got in Yoga early. It's been a good week for me. Been getting into new exercise routine for several weeks and for this week 1, fitbit agreed, today was best a rest day. So Papashop and I played pool, puzzled and did some housework at a comfortable pace. @kurtize - Zig…

@Ceriusly1 - I have beachbebe requesting membership to Shape Shifters. Have not seen mindovercakes. Approve or deny beachbebe?

@Dianedoessmiles1 - I'll check out Ceri's post today. TY. A drive through that beautiful park = good for the soul. Very fine day. @Kurtize - Glad your knee is improved despite getting yelled at! @Patti241 - 🙏 for your friend. Hope he gets back home soon.

@Dianedoessmiles1 - Izzy kitty fun. Am I seeing Fairy lights on your puzzle? 3d titanic? Wow. We are doing a 2000 piece beachfront this winter. I mean it. Spring should be here when we get 'er done. 5x harder it seems than 1000 pcs. I agree. The self care wheel puts ME back in the driver's seat of a great day.…

@patti241 - Good day! @Dianedoessmiles1 - Yay! The self care wheel is a real boon to my day. I open the computer and there are the things of which to plan my day. The visual really helps! Hope yours helps you along like mine!

@Patti241 - Tag. You're it😊great to see you. @Kurtize - Thank you. Really enjoyed the read. Listening again to "A new earth" as I walk. Witness of the spirit, same information received from the book today. @Dianedoessmiles1 - Love your wisdom. Thank you. @Tabatha_Cain - Home inspection and the new place both sound very…

@kurtize - Glad you DHs surgery went well and that he is getting relief with the meds. @Dianedoessmiles1 - my healthy habit for winter is Rise & Shine - getting my exercise in early in the day. Also this includes a morning regimen of self care, wasing my face with cold water, fixing my hair and general hygiene. It's easy…

@Kurtize - Yes, prayers for all in CA wildfires path. Prayers for your husband's surgery. @Patti241 - Good morning! Excited for the challenge start. The HH focus fresh and new. I even made a journal, lol. Not very crafty in that way, folded some fancy paper in half and tied yarn for the binder. Made 2 and Papashop started…
