Good evening! I'm so sorry for being AWOL! So while I was home and thinking about it I'm jumping on. Just to let you know I'm still kicking here anyway I've worked through a few anxiety attacks and but patting myself on the back for getting through today with a more pisssssed off feeling than having a panic attack because of the situation the boss put a few of us in. An unreal day, but it is over and I am home for the weekend. Happy Mother's Day weekend. I will probably head back down to my mom and dad's on Sunday evening as I work pretty early on Monday. That way I can spend a little Mother's Day time with her. Let me see if I can get a little caught up on posts in the next few days. But for now waving to all and hoping you are all well! Nat

Good Morning!!! Love, light, blessings, and good health.
Carol I do enjoy hearing about all your zoom classes. Hiking with birds & marigolds sounds so lovely. I will try to stay focused and positive myself.
Nat, great to see you!! Sorry about the anxiety attacks. Focusing on my breathing and my surroundings sometimes helps me soldier through those. I had many when shelter-in-place first started.
Sally I never thought I would say this -- but I really miss in person WW meetings. I like having an in-person office again -- although the rent is really not in my budget. WTG on all of those steps.
Jan I am glad that your mother visited as a monarch. I know you miss her and your heart hurts. Sending prayers.
Wow, awesome to have all of us together again. Yes I did: put together another OP day. Home abs, a long walk, spinning class, washed sheets, met with friend(I took the morning off). Worked in the afternoon (I am getting a big break on rent because I sit at the receptionist desk and it appeared my presence was needed yesterday). Soldiering through on my new project. No tight deadline but am waiting to leave to see my folks until I finish it. I have now started looking at portion sizes of zero point foods now that I have been OP for a month. I did fit into a dress I had not worn in a while yesterday -- but it would look much better with less belly fat. Yesterday was day one with OP and portion control! Yes I can: functional fitness (yard), gym (chest/back), home abs, and maybe pick up some lettuce at the Farmer's Market. Tonight Mass & movie. Well, time to put on my big girl pants and check the mail! love, light, blessings, and good health, janet

Happy Saturday. Have to get in early before life takes over. The sun just came out so I am headed out to feed the wildlife. Got to work on those raised beds today but first an errand to the village. Laundry hamper is getting pretty full too. One of my dear friends gave me some cool cards called Work Your Light and today's card was Soul Family and how important it is to gather the people around you who understand you at a soul level. People who are your "chosen" family. So glad you all are in my tribe and on my side. Yes I Can... --remain positive and shine the light I was given. --stay on the right path and eat healthy. --get out in the sunshine. Make exercise fun. Janet: Enjoy your movie! Let us know if you see something great. Just finished The Four Winds by Kristen Hannah. Really good book, especially having just lived through the Covid Pandemic. The Great Depression and Dust Bowl era shows us how easy we really had it in 2020. Those people had true grit and courage. One of my friend's Mother lived through that in rural Nebraska, as my own Mom did in Montana. I can't wait for her to read Four Winds. If you do read this book make sure to read the Author's' Note in the back of the book. So poignant! Nat: I am so sorry you are going through this time of trail. Sending peace and calm. Happy Mama's Day tomorrow. Let them spoil you. Big waves to Sally and Carol. Jan

Happy Mother's Day! Good Morning! love, light, blessings, and good health.
Nat hope you get some rest over the weekend.
Sally & Carol, happy mother's day!
Jan happy mother's day! Hope you are feeding the critters, your home sounds like a splendid nature preserve. I am trying to do that with mine. I have already noted that book, if it is new it might be while before it is available.
Yes I did: home ab circuit, weights (chest back rowing machine) get the back yard mowed. Mass. Movie was a "shoot em up" with Jason somebody. Okay, at least it moved quickly. Something about armored car robberies. I didn't pick it. I have started looking for a trainer but none of them at my weight lifting gym have the sense to get vaccinated. Oh well, guess I will train myself. LOL. Yes I can: finish yard (if it dries out after last night's rain). Home abs. Weights (biceps, triceps, abs). Long walk, bring umbrella. Trying to not work on weekends and put my life into some semblance of normal after 14 months of working in comfy clothes at home seven days a week. My new landlord thinks I need to lose 30# not 10#, I took a hard look in the mirror and he may be right! I sure hope our pool opens soon. At least I see them working on it now.
Love, light, blessings, good health, and Happy Mother's Day! Janet

Happy Mother's Day Sunday to all and ((hugs)) to those missing their moms. The weekend just flies by way too fast. I will be heading down to my mom and dad's a little bit later as I work early tomorrow and I can spend a little bit of Mother's Day with ma!! My DS made me pancakes (huge) this morning. I couldn't finish it all lol. NSV for leaving some on the plate Janet, good to hear you have rented an office. It will help mentally to be able to separate your home and work stuff. And yay for the cleaner being back. Jan, they definitely withstood a whole lot more back when than we had to tolerate last year. Thank you on that little mantra The way out is the way through. No getting around that just getting through it! Waves Carol and Sally. My goal this week is to be more present here and keep caught up on everyone. It will also probably help my stress/anxiety level to keep to the positives. My coping mechanism seems to be avoidance and that isn't always the best medicine. Maybe I should set a daily alarm in the evening that will remind me to check in Take care! Nat
