WHAT I LOVE THESE DAYS...

I love: riding my bike, even uphill; taking my dressage (horse) lessons to the next level - I'm competing in my first dressage show in July!; swimming naked in my pool; being asked to lead SG meetings; walking and jogging whenever I feel like it and for as long as my mind decides to, not the weariness of my overburdened body; enjoying the touch of my husband's hands on my body--I used to be repulsed by my own body when we were intimate, now I celebrate it; getting my daughter's hand-me-down clothes. These are some of the ways I'm living joyfully every day. How about you??? I'm off to San Francisco tomorrow (my 51st birthday) for a week-long conference. Wish me luck in keeping my food intake under control-I'm stressed about this trip, will be networking with some very high profile folks in my line of work. Love to you all. M.

Wish I could be in SF with you, hae not been there since I lived there in 88 Moved to Las Vegas & have never been back. WAAAAAY too expensive to live, anymore!! Have Fun!! Marilyn, the Bearlady

i have never been to frisco but hear it s an adventure! reenie-happy birthday!!!! you are still a baby! i guess the only thing that i can do right now that i enjoy is getting down on the floor and back up again- running with my grands when i do see them--that was a biggggg motivator toward surgery in the first place for me! if i had a pool- i would swim naked--as it is i have a bike trail behind my house now so i can't even sunbathe naked...darnitall!

i like dancing. i've always liked dancing but now i can dance all night and still breath. i like that alot. happy birthday reenie!
