Thank you to those who took time to stop and leave a comforting comment on my recent loss. I'm sure it will be months before I get out of the habit (a 20+ year habit) of looking toward the pasture everytime I go outside to see "where Neerer is grazing." I'm doing better each day.
I know we all have "issues" to deal with - that's life. Several other bloggers I *stalk* are dealing with their own "life changing" issues. Shannon and Nan have recently lost beloved pets, and Debbie is dealing with a son leaving for the Marine Corps. I'm sure there are others, but these are three that come to mind as I sit here and write.
One of my "new" challenges to to find a new place to exercise. Found out this morning that our Curves is closing its doors at the end of the month. I've been a member there since I retired in January of 2007, so I've made some great friends there. It's a sign of the depressed times even though Texas in general has one of the better enconomies as states go. You see from my sidebar that I am a politcal conservative, and I have my own opinions as to how all this has come about, but won't go into here. As far as exercise, I do have a couple of options in the area so will begin checking into them probably next week. I want to keep up my exercise program and I will somehow--if it hairlips every cow on the ranch! (old saying my Granny used).
I did make my Sis a purse for her birthday, and I have photos in the camera. I'll try to get those posted soon. I got into the sewing room yesterday, but just piddled and picked up. Nothing "moved" me yesterday to get me motivated. Oh wait, I did trace off a Burda T from the 2/2009 issue. I did decide to renew Burda WOF this morning, but only for 6 months this time. This afternoon, the dentist.....maybe tomorrow will be some sewing.
Thanks for the shout out!
ReplyDeleteBTW, the Wall Street Journal had a story about Curves fairly recently. They are having problems nationally--the economy is just one factor in their problems. I hope you can find another place to go.
Of course my "life-changing issue" is nothing compared to what the actual Marine recruit must be going through. ;-) Thanks for keeping us in your thoughts - I do appreciate it.
