Vail - i think its absolutely AWESOME that you are going to these events that bring you joy, and experience the wonder of travel and making friends of all ages and having experiences you would never have if you just stayed home!!! So i hope you keep going to EVERY single event or concert or trip that you can!! I'm sorry…

Oh wow i can't beleive you're there in England now Suzy!! How did i miss you actually left on the trip!! OMG ten miles!! you are a far better woman than me - what an awesome accomplishment!! Yikes on the sunburn - if your calf muscles scream at you, scream back at them LOL!! have a wonderful time

Vail i thought of you this morning when i saw on the news that Switzerland won the Eurovision this year

Have a wonderful trip Suzy and Vail so fab to hear you've been travelling and getting to see your fav band in concert and even more cool getting to meet fellow fans from all over the world!! That's amazing

I've been laid up for 2 days flat on my back Vail so I get the feeling sorry for yourself - sorry to hear about the virus and hope the hip enjoys its bit of better due to your enforced rest all of the work has been done now except the carpet replacement.. i had the whole place painted on my own dime after everything was…

Morning! Just checking in to see how everyone is doing.. suzy you must be only about 3 weeks out from your trip by now? Vail hope you are doing ok with the hip lately?

Vail i hate seeing those xrays on the screen at the dental office lol... but never seen my skull thankfully! My eye specialist occasionally does this scan of the optic nerve or something.. first time i saw it i swear i could see my brain and all the things stemming out from it... freaked me right out! (Turns out it wasnt…

Hiya Vail! Actually i just got back from pickleball lol.. we couldnt play all week as it was closed to us during school march break so a lot of kiddie events going on... bad timing as i was trying that experiment before my bloodwork about seeing if increasing my exercise in the weeks before my bloodwork would affect my…

oh ok sorry i misunderstood lol.... and yup i get holding off for sure! suprisingly tho the 2 people i know who have had hip replacements both had them in their 60's... im not sure of the reasons they needed them tho... but i think they are the only ones i know of who were that "young" (what i consider young anyway!) when…

Vail - woo hoo on knowing you're going to have a grandson now! how exciting! Sorry about the stress at work hope you are able to get thru it all and that things settle down... have you had a hip replacement already? it sounded like you were talking about a 2nd one ... ? i hope the leaflet gives you some hints and ideas to…

Vail! congrats on the exciting news about a grandchild!! That's awesome!! Woo hoo - any idea when the anticipated arrival date is yet? and Suzy I agree with Vail - thats awesome that you are doing the yoga.. and even better is the great news about your muscle mass being higher than you thot!! yippee!! As far as the 80%…

I'm in the for the beach Suzy.... sign me up!! Am still living in chaos;.. no word from contractors on when they will repair the walls and paint and the insurance company sent the adjustor over a week ago and still no word on what my options are for the flooring.. i built my own "wall" between me and the neighbour as they…

Suzy.. there's a webcast (or whatever you call it) that i have been following for a while.. today in a freaky coincidence they have some weight training moves for beginners.. BUT.. also a section "for those who prefer to go to a gym for strength/resistance training: f you’d rather go to gym to do resistance training, here…

Suzy i did laugh when i saw "apparently my husband & I joined a gym' haha.. once you get going a bit.. i used to watch some of the others and if they looked like they knew what they were doing, i waited til they finished and just asked if they could help me with one thing - make sure my posture was correct for the move...…

I have to admit having a soup in the freezer to pull out on a cold winter night when i'm lazy is a godsend.. and i always forget how GOOD it tastes til im eating it lol.. weirdly tho .. i do heat it up on the stove rather than the micro.. i dont know why it just tastes better to me i think.. that's a good idea actually…

I’m using my phone for the moment, so I have to keep it brief but yes, I agree. There was also benefit to looking back at what has worked for us! Winter has started here, and I find I am craving hearty carby things. But I’m also making sure I remind myself how much I love veggies. Tonight I had cooked spinach and carrots…

Vail a few of the things you mentioned struck home with me - i'll get to those in a minute.. I've been giving a lot of thought to what my "plan" is for my self care this year... its still a work in progress, but i am REALLY focusing on ACTUAL self care, and changing my mindset on a few things.. My first and foremost…

Vail btw.. i loved this from your post.. "We waste far too much energy beating ourselves up about the past, whether it's yesterday, last week or years ago. We need to start from where we are, without judgment."

I came across this little ditty today so thot i'd share as we're only a few days away from the New Year... As we approach the closing chapter of another year, it's the perfect moment to reflect on all the beautiful possibilities that lie ahead in the new year. And what better way to kick off 2024 than with some…
