Hi From the Hot South

  I hope everyone is drinking there water.  All of you who have it cool.  I just wish I could sent you some of this heat.  I have not gotten out to swim yet as it has been too hot.  The last I heard they heat index was 111.  It feels awful outside and one does not want to leave the house.  I am going to go out soon and brave the heat to swim in a hot pool.  This morning the temp of the water was 94 degrees.  I have been drinking my water but have not yet goten out to do the IE.

   It is so nice being able to hear from all of you again.  Have a great day.            Alice

Well I'm stocked up and ready to go....

Hi my dear friends, went and re-stocked the pantry with healthy fruits (cherries,apricots, peaches, nectarines and watermelon) and nice veggies and salad fixins...so I'm set to go...smiling...the water is here lol and so is my determination...haven't done my walk for a few days again, so really need to discipline this area too...

Hope those of you in the heat are taking extra care, and not getting to overheated and dehydrated...may some cooler temps come soon....

Having a quiet night this evening, been fighting a bit of a headache for the past few days...which is unusual for me..this too shall pass..sure isn't from the heat, don't have much..lol..

Esmay, hope you are keeping nice and cosy warm, miss you hon....

Hugs to everyone...

Karen

  I was able to get some rest finally.And I can happily say I did better then just stretching and wigging toes today.Since the temperature was lower,I used a face mask (like hospitals) and was able to go for a short ride in the van.I began itching as soon as I stepped outside,I wasn't able to be out long before the more severe symptoms began to flare and I had to return home..But It was so unbelievably wonderful to be out even for that brief moment.

 

 

  I hope you all realize how blessed and lucky you are to be able to view and experience the beauty of the world everyday Too feel the suns rays touching your skin,to experience the slight breeze as it pass by you.The sound of the birds and children playing in they yards.the bright and brilliant colors of the many flowers in bloom.watching the tree branches swaying ever so gently.even watching the people walking down the street,moving on in their daily life's

 

  I'm sorry shouldn't have went on like that.

 

   You know that saying stop and spell the roses well I have always taught my children just that.It's true we get so wrapped up in our daily routine's and problems we don't truly stop and appreciate that is around us.

And since I was able to do this today,I told DH Maybe I get back to the Y,if it doesn't take long to get me in the building,It is worth the try.I miss the water so much.

hello everyone

and GOOD MORNING.I haven't slept yet--laid and rested alittle though,did some cosmetic care and took a nice hot shower.I am sorry I wasn't here threw the day yesterday,just working threw some things in my mind.I figure you don't need me being down here,you all have enough to deal with getting use to this board and living your own life's.Know I care about each of you dearly and even when I'm not here I am thinking about you.

 

Have a super day!
