GOOD DAY TO ALL YOU CHICKS!!
I have not called for a day or two as my computer was down for a while but it is sorted now - it was something to do with the McAfee Antivirus programme- it was stalling on it. My brother had to uninstall it.
I walked 5 miles yesterday and hope to go for a walk soon today. My eating is good but I am slipping up on the water!!

Patty - CONGRATULATIONS on your 1.8 pounds loss - that is great news.

T-girl - you have so much energy!!

Semo - hope the wedding went well - let us know all about it.

Lauri - it is hard to stay OP when you are at a party but you did make up for it a bit when you didn't have supper.

To everyone have a good OP day

Take Care

Anne



Just get started

Instead of worrying and complaining about how difficult it is, just get started. Rather than wasting your time and effort on excuses for not moving forward, just go ahead and get started. There are a thousand perfectly good reasons to delay, to procrastinate, to avoid making the effort. Forget about them all and just get started.
As soon as you begin, you put momentum on your side. And momentum is a powerful force to have working in your favor. As long as you're standing still, time and momentum work against you. Yet the moment you get up and get started, you turn that momentum around and put it to work for you.

The small effort it takes to get started will pay off many times over. Why just sit there when you could be getting wherever you desire to go? Why let time work against you when you could be using every moment to your advantage? Even though conditions may not be perfect, now is the perfect moment to start.

In an instant, whenever you decide, you can be firmly on the path to success and achievement. Just get started, then keep on going, and before long you'll have it done.

Good Moring Ladies. I have just joined this site and am looking forward talking with you girls about weight. I have been on WW for 4 weeks and lost 8 pounds. I walk but only bout 2 miles as I have had foot surgery. My biggest problem is I LOVE FOOD. Nothing better than a good Mexican Dinner. I now save that for once a month. I volunteer in a Hospital I am a cuddler for the babies in the NICU unit. I Live in california am married with 3 grown girls. I do not call them my Kids they are my Adult Relatives LOL. I have 2 grandchildren ( the apple of my Eyes)
I will check in each day as it helps keep my spirit up to see others in the same place I am at. Have a Nice Day.

1day@atime 05-27-2002 02:07 PM

Good Afternoon Ladies

Welcome Spkrleyes37 - Way to go on your 8 lb loss... That is great.. I bet that is a great job, getting to hold those newborn babies... There is nothing wrong with eating a Mexican Dinner, it just making the right choices. Instead of the chips they bring to the table have corn torillas. You can order fajitas, & ranchero beans. On Ww you can have most anything, it's just you have to count the points. Maybe you could bank some points before your night out?

Mooz - Way to go on your 5 mile walk. Glad to hear your computer is back up.

We'll I going to cut it short today... Last thursday & friday I was cleaning house & shampooing the carpet. We'll saturday morning I woke up with the runny nose & lots of sneezing. Saturday night I got the worse earache I can remember & finally on sunday I went to the doctors. I was a major ordeal just finding one open on a holiday weekend. I got me some meds & have been sleeping & blowing my nose most of the weekend. I'm getting ready to go take another nap.

Hope everyone is having a great day. staying OP... talk to you all tomorrow..

t-girl 05-27-2002 05:38 PM

Hey all hey all . gotta love it, Hey that massage really revved up my energy that therapist is DA BOMB!! Yewwwwww!!I am taking a day off from working out, had taken a few hours of me time, jump in the car and ride and look and see, love it. Well how is every one, hope you are having a beautiful day, :lol: gonna go and tae bo in the am early... Well then , ttyl take care everybody!!! have a good one!!

SEMO 05-28-2002 10:00 AM

Okay, today is a new day and a new start for me. I’m sure that I have gained as I have sort of let myself go. (After all, I did had a great excuse, right) :D
The wedding was just beautiful and all went very well. The Church holds 250 and it was almost full so we think that including the wedding party that there were around 225 that attended. My new DIL made a beautiful bride and of course my son was the most handsome groom that I’ve ever seen. They didn’t want a fru fru wedding so the only music was string instruments, and no singing. I’m setting here getting goose bumps as I think about how beautiful it was. Of course I cried but keep myself composed. As I get older I’m sure more open about showing my emotions. The reception was fantastic, lets see….. they had a big fountain of wine and probably four tables setting around the room with finger foods and five or six different types of cakes. (Wonder why I remember so much about the food?:ink: :ink:) The waiter/waitress all were in white jackets and the two wedding planners were there for every need. The banquet hall was decorated so nice and there was a big tent outside for the beer drinkers. The weather was perfect! It rained about an inch ten miles from there but not a drop on the wedding or reception. Everything was just perfect…….
Now I have to go back to my real life. LOL …I’m ready to get some discipline back into my life, I’ve just been eating everything and feel really bad after doing so. (Physically and mentally)

You all are doing great!! And a big welcome to our new gals you’ll love it here!

Anyone heard from our Jen? Think that she went AWOL with her hubby?

Well work calls so I had better run.

1day@atime 05-28-2002 01:18 PM

Good Afternoon Ladies

Semo - The wedding sounds just wonderful. I"m so glad you all did not get any bad weather. And the cakes... I know I would of tried everyone of them. That is something that i just can't resist.
And your right, it's time to get back on track.

Lauri - Did you all get a chance to build the deck? I can't remember if that was this weekend or last? I do remember you were going to watch the Indy.

T-girl - Hope your doing ok... Hope your back doing you Tae-bo?

Mooz - Hope you had a good weekend too. I know you have been getting lots of walks in. Do you live in the city or in the country? I have these images of the beautiful hills that I see on tv.

I'm feeling much better today. Still have some pressure in my ears though. This morning I was worried about going to work, I work in a highrise building, but I got plenty of chewing gum & chew all the way up to my floor. I have been OP all weekend & have drank my water, so hopefully I have another loss this thursday. I have not exercised the last few days & will probably not tae-bo til the end of week. I want to make sure I get rid of what I have..

we'll I need to run... talk to you all later..

mooz49 05-28-2002 01:33 PM

GOOD EVENING CHICKS!!
I have not been for a walk today yet but hope to go later.

Semo - so good to hear from you again and the wedding sounded really beautiful. It would have been very difficult not to sample all that lovely food especially at you son's wedding but now that it is over you will soon be back on track and motivating us as well cause we need you to!!

Patty - glad to hear you are feeling a bit better and you are still OP and drinking H2O. You are wise to skip the exercise until your body has recovered as you could do more harm than good.

T-girl - rushing all over the place as usual!! YGG That massage sounds wonderful - I would love something like that!!

Spkrleyes - WELCOME to our little group!! You will get support here and it is especially good to post every day. CONGRATULATIONS ON LOSING 8 POUNDS - that is a brilliant start for you!! Another walker - great and 2 miles is excellent!!

Lauri - Hope you are having a good OP day.

Take Care All

spkrleyes37 05-28-2002 03:10 PM

Thank you for welcoming me to your group. It helps when you have someone to talk about diet and exercise. Lord knows my DH will not even walk to the front door to answer the door bell.
He does not believe in dieting and thinks I am missing out on life's good stuff. I LOVE him dearly however will never change him. I am glad there are some of you that walk approx 2 miles at one time even my daughters outwalk me. You gotta know they are a LOT younger that me. I am glad you girls have a good sence of humor. I Love a good laugh. Thank you again for the support. Till we meet again. Spkrleyes37

SEMO 05-29-2002 09:59 AM

Good Morning All! Did pretty well eating yesterday, however didn't get enough exercise in but will do better today. Had to make a run to town after work yesterday to return the tuxedos and then dropped by the grocery and stocked up on some low cal/fat foods. No excuses now!
All the kids are back home safe and sound. They aren't taking a honeymoon until August, after the bar exam. The youngest is taking a summer class and doing an internship....then...... only one more class and he is out. Yeah... (not wishing his life away, mind you, just want to have some money for a change)
Okay here's my plan for today: 1. Stay on my eating plan without any slips 2. Min of 30 min exercise 3. Clean the frig (thought I'll throw in a little housework while I was at it. ;) )
Well, I must run.... one of these days the boss is gonna figure out that I really don't work as hard as he thinks! heehee

spkrleyes37 05-29-2002 11:19 AM

Good Morning All:
Semo I dont know how you do it. I went through 3 weddings
(we had 3 Daughters) and after I was through I didnt need any kind of weight program I lost weight like nothing during that time. Thank goodness they are all married and that is done. Where in Missouri do you live I was born in Cabool Missouri and had relatives back there. Cabool is out of Springfield. I did OK yesterday :D I did my walking drank all my water. I think I have drowned all my inside organs!!!!!! I weigh in on Saturday that will tell the true tale. I hope everyone has a nice and weight loss day.

1day@atime 05-29-2002 01:06 PM

Good Afternoon All

Today has been another good day. Staying OP & drinking my water. Right now I am fighting off the urge for something sweet.
I have already eaten raisins.

Semo - sounds like you have a good plan. Just start back at your own pace & soon you'll be back where you left off. Is your son & his new bride both taking the bar exam? That is great to have some lawyers in the family.

Spkrleyes37 - You said you joined Ww. Are you jounaling? I find that, that really helps me to stay OP.

Lauri - Where are you girl... Hope you our running somewhere.

T-girl - Hope your doing ok to... When is your move back home?

Mooz - I'm sure you'll get your walking & linedancing in. You're doing so great, you can't stop now...

SEMO 05-29-2002 01:33 PM

Just checking in and so far so good. Ate cereal for breakfast and just finished a Lean Cuisine lunch and drinking on my water. Have a power bar scheduled for about 3:30pm then grilled chichen for dinner.
Spkrleyes, I live on the other side of the state. I really didn't have to do too much on the wedding. My DIL is well organized and so is her mother. I eat when I get nervous so I've been bad.
Patty, the DIL is taking the exam. My oldest has been working in Nashville for over three years as a project mgr.
Okay, better get back to this stack of work. See ya later.

GOOD MORNING CHICKS!!
It is a lovely morning and I am feeling good. I walked 2 miles yesterday and tripped and fell while I was doing it:o fortunately I was not too baldy hurt except for my pride!! I was linedancing for 3 hours last night.
I have not been walking so much recently as our little linedancing club are trying to raise money to buy a Spirometer for the local Health Centre. One of the girls and myself decided to organise a raffle and so far we have collected 37 prizes from the local shopkeepers.We sent out letters to other businesses and have received £460 in donations so far and we have not even got the tickets printed yet. Anyway that is why I have not been getting so much walking in recently.

Semo - I see you are right back up on this here old wagon!!
You will feel so much better for it. It must have been stressful with the wedding even if things went to plan. It is a big event in a mum's life.

Patty - well done in staying OP and drinking your water and you will soon be out walking again.

Spkrleyes - you are doing great - walking and drinking water and you have definately hydrated your organs!! YGG

Lauri - hope the running is going well!!

T-girl - I have no doubt you are rushing about as usual!

Have a good OP day all

Take Care

spkrleyes37 05-30-2002 08:13 AM

Good Morning Girls.
When I say morning it really is morning (EARLY) I got up at 4:30 today. Maybe I just wanted to start this Beautiful Day Early.
All is well on the Home Front. I will get my exersice today at the Hospital where I volunteer. They really run your legs off but it is well worth the time to volunteer.

Mooz I hope you are OK. I always have a fear of falling ( I call it tipping over) Just as long as you are not hurt. Good luck on your raising money for your project. I love your cartoon however I need one that stops fat from going to my stomach.

A good day to All of you ladies. Get your exersice and WATER your insides.

SEMO 05-30-2002 09:42 AM

Good Morning Ladies, hope everyone feels as good as I do today. Back on my vitamins and I can tell the difference. Didn't quite make all my goals yesterday but will today. Ended up helping hubby farm after working late yesterday. After he got home from work he wanted me to bring the soybean seed and stay out there with him while he planted the last of the farm, which I did, then we rode around looking at all the back water. Lots of farm ground and roads still under water. When the river reaches a certain point they open the flood gates which in turn floods low ground. Didn't get that frigerator cleaned either, dang it. Got some sicence projects growing in there! :D

Mooz, so glad that you weren't hurt. I'm not very graceful at all! And good luck on the fund raiser.

How's Patty? Hope you're feeling better.

Hi to Lauri and T-Girl.

Better run, have lots of end of the month stuff to do. ((Huzs))

1day@atime 05-30-2002 02:03 PM

Good Afternoon

Had my weigh in today and didn't do anything. No gain or loss... I"ll take it. I did not exercise all week, plus the meds kept me down. Feeling better today, hopefully just a few more days of this.

Mooz - Glad to hear you did not get hurt. I did that a few weeks ago, but fell on my keys, I was was sore for a day or two.. Good luck on your fundraising.(What is a spirometer?) I also do fundraising & my job it to solict prizes from every restaurant & hotel or actually anything).. then we give the prizes to our top walkers... I really enjoy doing it.. & it's for a good cause..

Semo - Even though you did not accomplish all of your goals, one of the main keys is to stayed focused. Your takeing your vitamins & drinking your water & eating healthy. Just take it one day at a time... I thinking helping out on the farm has to count for something too...

Spkrleyes37 - Wow you sure did have a early start... I was snoozing about that time...Glad to hear your on top of things..

t-girl 05-30-2002 07:29 PM

Hello everyone, Op is the way!! but can be quite some work, lol, it helps when i do my walking pumps me up , I did it and tae bo tomorrow, it is gettin better and better, Imma post my wt in 2 days, and there wont be a gain, no waywell tyyl

GOOD MORNING CHICKS!!
Thank goodness the rain has stopped for the moment and the sun is shining. I am in control. I did not get walking much yesterday as the rain was terrible:o but I was linedancing for 2 hours. We have to dance at Ballymoney Agricultural Show tonight and then we are going on to a linedance later so that will keep me on my toes!!
Patty - no gain is good considering you were not able to do any exercise - you asked about a spirometer:-
Quote:

A Spirometer is an instrument that measures the amount of air a person breathes. Doctors use spirometers chiefly to diagnose certain respiratory disorders and to evaluate treatment.
A spirometer measures changes in lung capacity, which may indicate the presence of various disorders. For example, inflammations and tumours reduce the capacity of the lungs. The instrument also measures the speed at which air moves in and out of the lungs. Such diseases as asthma and bronchitis narrow the air passages, reducing the rate of air flow.
T-girl - you are doing so well - walking and Tae Boing!!

Semo - glad to hear you are in good form and you seemed to have a busy day yesterday!! It's lovely to hear about how people in different parts of the world spend their day.

Spkryeyes - WOW up at 4.30 and I thought 7 was early!! You are doing great!!

Lauri - hope all is well and that you are getting fitter and faster everyday at your running!!

HAve a great OP day

Take Care

Anne

Good Evening

I was not able to sign on earlier, pretty busy at work.. & i'm just getting home from work..TGIF... I'm hoping to get some rest this evening & hopfully back to walking tomorrow.

Mooz - Way to go on your linedancing & good luck at the dance tonight. I'm assuming you all are going to perform?

Lauri - Hope your doing ok... Haven't heard much from you this week.

Semo - Hope your doing ok too...

Spkrleyes37 - Hope your having a good day too...

mooz49 06-01-2002 04:45 AM


GOOD MORNING CHICKS!!
Gosh it was quiet in here yesterday!!

Patty - yes we were doing a demonstration last night. There were 14 of us alltogether and we danced for an hour. Then we went on to a dance and danced from 10PM until 2AM. I was not in my bed until 3.30AM and I was up at 8.30 so I am exhausted today but I did most of my housework yesterday so I would not have so much to do today. I hope to go for a walk later on and I hope you get your walk in too.

Lauri, Semo, T-girl, and Spkrleyes - hope you are keeping well and OP

Have a great weekend all

Take Care

Which one?

If you live this day to the fullest, there are regrets that you will never have to know. Make the most of each moment, and there are pains you will never need to experience.
Think of how many of your most difficult burdens are largely of your own making. By virtue of the actions you take on this very day, you can avoid so very many similar burdens in the future.

The things you do right now, and the things you fail to do right now, can affect every day for the rest of your life. That can either be a golden opportunity or a wicked curse, depending entirely of what you do with it.

Just imagine all the great and wonderful things you can begin to create right now. Just think of all the things you could do that would soon have you looking back on this day with gratitude and satisfaction.

Five years from now, you can look back on today and be overwhelmed with joy, or overwhelmed with regret. Now is the time when you can decide which one it will be.

-- Ralph Marston

spkrleyes37 06-01-2002 09:04 AM

Good Morning All:
Well today is the big day WEIGH IN. I have real light clothes on
no heavy jeans and will take my shoes off LOL. I have been good getting my exersice and watching my points real close so I am not too worried. Just when I think that the fat monster puts its foot on the scale and wham overweight

Mooz I dont know how you do it your linedancing and all the other stuff you do but keep it up you are a good example for the rest of us.

Semo: Seems you got a couple happy events going on in your life. A wedding and a New Lawyer to be in the family. My DIL is an attorney too. She is about to sit for the patent bar shortly. We are proud of her so I know how you must feel and a wedding is always a happy time too. Enjoy!!!!

T-girl - Way to go on your 3.5 weight loss... You go Girl. I'm glad you found the key to what motivates you.

Spkrleyes37 - .75 is a loss too... Way to go... Hey a loss is a loss...

Mooz - Wow you are our Linedancing Queen... as Taz would say.

This past weekend was a busy one for me, I had a list of errans I had to run, get tires rotated, oil change, etc. I didn't get the exericse in like i wanted but I was OP all weekend...

SEMO 06-03-2002 02:24 PM

Hi girls! Hubby and I celebrated our 33rd wedding anniversary Friday night then got up Saturday and went to the lake. We got back late last night but needed the time away. Don't even want to discuss what I ate and drank! Doing good so far today except for the water and I have a gallon jug of spring water in the frig just waiting on me.

Congrats on everyone doing so well on the exercise and weight loss! A big WOO HOO for all of you.

My niece is having a yard sale this coming weekend so I'm going home this evening and gather up some stuff. One of my goals for the summer is to de-junk some of the stuff laying around the house. It's just hubby and me at home and you wouldn't believe all the junk I have packed in every nook and crannie. Guess part of that is living in the same house for 24 years. Even if I wanted something that I have stuck back I wouldn't be able to find it.:cool: And besides that how many empty butter tubs can one person need!!! :lol:

The guys all worked Saturday and Sunday so you know what my desk looks like. I've run a ton of invoices this morning and now I need to put them together and get them filed. You guys have a great day and will talk to ya later!

Jen, if you're out there we want to hear from you and find out your trip was. But most of all we want to know how you are!!

spkrleyes37 06-03-2002 09:25 PM

HI ALL:
It is early evening and I am pooped. My daughter and I power shopped today. I really enjoyed her company but when I walked into the house my husband almost fainted by all the bags I was hauling in.

Semo I'm happy you had a good weekend at the lake. Our anniversary is coming up at the end of this month. 46 years with the old boy. If you need more butter cartons let me know I thing I have a truckload we have lived in our house for 35 years and I still have those little plaster handprints out in boxes in the garage. I dont know how I will ever say goodbye to this house as we have all grown up in it. GOOD MEMORIES.

1 Day at a time:
sounds like you had a real errand weekend. Maybe you will get to slow down this week.

Untill tomorrow.

GOOD DAY CHICKS!!
The weather is miserable here this morning. My mum has another urine infection and I had to get in touch with the doctor on call to get her more antibiotics. I also have to see the dentist this afternoon. My eating is a bit haywire when I am stressed out.
Will call later.
Anne

SEMO 06-04-2002 09:50 AM

Good Morning to All. I ended up working until 6:00 pm last evening but still went by my storage rental and dug out some stuff for the yard sale. Brought hubby's pickup to work today and going back to pull some boxes out to go to the dumpster. I've never seen so many spiders... Felt like things were crawling all over me and couldn't wait to get home and shower after I left there.

Mooz, sorry that your Mother isn't feeling well, she is very lucky that you take such good care of her. Some people do not realize how difficult that job is until they have done it.... my hats off to you.

Spkrleyes, thanks for the offer but I'll pass on the tubs...It's sort of like they just multply when they go into the cabnet.

Patty, T-Girl, Taz, Jen and Lauri hoping that you're having a great Tuesday. The temp is already 80 degrees at 8:00 in the morning and it's humid.

Chow for now.

IndyLauri 06-04-2002 09:56 AM

hi ladies! I went camping this weekend. Had a good time but too many marshmallows! LOL
I have not run in awhile. A few weeks ago I had two huge blisters on my left heel. I wasn't aware of them at first until my work shoes rubbed on them and they were bleeding. I took to riding my bicycle instead which is still exercise LOL!!
Work is killing me. (not literally I hope LOL) Since we've moved our offices I have been verbally abused on a daily basis by people who couldn't find it and liked the old location better, blah blah blah. I am telling you, I pray for strength regularly just to keep from slapping these people and getting fired. ROFL And these are the younger women! The elderly ladies we see are always so wonderful. I felt like telling one young women that I had 90 year old women who could find the place. Sorry. Gotta vent sometimes!
Mooz, that picture looks like the place I was camping this weekend! It freaked me out at first!
Congrats to SEMO on your wedding anniversary. I have been married to my high school sweetheart since November 1, 1980. This December 26 will be the 25th anniversary of our first date!
Well, gotta get ready for the salt mines!
lauri

mooz49 06-04-2002 03:39 PM


GOOD EVENING CHICKS!!
WEll I am in much better form this evening. Mum is feeling much better as the antibiotics started to work very quickly. I have been to the dentist and he says he should be able to crown the teeth that are giving me the problems so I am happy about that.
My eating has been good so far and I hope to go for a walk soon.

Lauri - glad to hear you had a good weekend camping - sorry to hear about your blisters though! It must be unpleasant to listen to those people giving off to you but they are the ones with the problem!!

Semo - glad you had a nice anniversary and it is ok to slip up a little on a special occasion as long as you get back on track again quickly!!
Hope you do well at the yard sale. I was just thinking about de-junking our house today as my two eldest are home from university with all their stuff and there is not a lot of space to put it all!!

Spkrleyes - CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR .75 LOSS!! YGG
I've never heard it called power shopping before but I will call it that from now on!! I am going power shopping with my daughter tomorrow!!

Patty - good for you staying OP and so long as you kept yourself busy you can get away with not doing exercises.

T-girl - CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR 3.5 POUNDS LOSS - all that rushing about and exercising has paid off!! YGG

Taz - nice of you to call in and see us and Good Luck with your book and your new guy and don't forget we will want to buy an autographed copy of your book!!

Take Care All and I will call in the morning

Good Evening All

Today I only worked a 1/2 day.. We had a work celebration & we all went bowling. It was alot of fun other than I know i'm going to be sore tomorrow. I can already feel it in my back. I also went off point when I had the 2 choc. chip cookies (they were right out of the oven) couldn't resist.

Semo - Congrats on your anniversary. I too need to have a garage sale. Actually I started gathering some items to get rid of.

Mooz - Glad to hear your mother is feeling better & glad to hear the dentist can take care of that tooth. I know when we get stressed we do turn to food, but during this time also try to keep your linedancing up. Exercise is a good reliver for stress....

Lauri - I sure hope those blisters heal. Are you going to continue running? I know you had a 10k coming up?

spkrleyes37 - Power shopping? sounds like fun... Just wish I had a powershopping bank account..

We'll I need to run... I need to mow the back yard...

Good Morning Ladies. Yesterday wasn't very productive for me, one of the guys fell and broke his arm and I took him to the emergency room. We left about 9 and didn't get back to the office until almost two. I hate to say it about our local hospital but if it's anything major you better not stop there.
Trying to get myself motivated to stay on program, do great most of the day then I end up blowing it. What I don't understand is that I went over a year and did wonderful and now I can't seem to get through a whole day. Maybe today will be the day that does it for me.
Hubby is interviewing for a promotion today so say a little prayer for him (while your at it mention me too). He likes the job he has now but this would be more suitable for him.
Okay I'm off, you all have a great day.

Good Afternoon

Semo, I can relate... It's so hard staying motivated. Last week I did not have a gain or loss, but I didn't exercise at all because I had been sick, and this week it's so hard to get back to exercising. I know I need to do it if I want to see a loss. I have slacked off on my journaling, but I know I have to got to get back on track. Are you journaling? drinking your H2O, Maybe you could for one day focus on one item... like drinking water... make that your day's goal... then the next add something else. We all know what to do...It's just doing it...... Like the nike add says..." Just do it"...

To everyone else, hope your having a good day...

Hello All...

Semo, I just happened to read this & thought it might help..

STARTING
POINT

Regardless of how far behind you may be, you always can choose to move forward.
Though people and events and circumstances may conspire against you,
you can decide to move ahead anyway. Success depends on your direction,
not on your position. No matter where you may be, it is always within your reach,
and you can always begin to work for your own special success.

It's perfectly okay to be where you are. Because from where you are,
you can move steadily to wherever you desire to be. Sure, it's probably
not the ideal situation, and yet it is a starting point. It's the starting point you have,
and one from which you most certainly can move forward.

It will happen because you decide to make it happen. It will happen because
you'll do what's necessary to make it happen. This day, this place,
this situation is your starting point.
Now is your moment to reach as high as you care to reach.
Don't let anyone tell you that you can't do it. Decide for yourself and start moving yourself positively there.

-- Ralph Marston

Good Morning Ladies! Thanks Patty, I needed that.

Not much going on around here, had computer problems all day yesterday and they aren't fixed yet today. Currently waiting on the help desk to get back to me so we can re-install a couple of programs.

Okay, their on hold gotta run.

Good Morning to ALL:
Have been very busy. I have a Grandaughter graduating form High School. Planning a Party.

Semo: I hope all went well with you Husbands interview that is a very stressful event. About the Hospitals all Hospital ER rooms are the same. I Volunteer at a Hospital and their ER is always full and the wait about 3 to 4 hours. Give yourself some quiet time Read a Book - Take a long bath with bubble bath and a little yellow duck - do something nice for yourself it pays off.

1 Day: Hang in there maybe we better all listen to Nike
You mow the lawn???? I could not do that if my life depended on it. Glad my DH like it. Those Cookies sounded good I love sweets.

Mooz: Glad to hear Mom is better it is really scary when a loved one gets sick.

Well gotta run I volunteer at the Hospita today. I cuddle sick babies. I think it is more fun for me than the sick babies.
Have a good day.

Norma
