Jen, Eileen, and Ladies,

Just a quick post on our way out. I hope you all have a great day and make wise choices. If you get a chance, do some stretching and some meditating...

Hi All:

Tried posting previous days but somehow lost in cyberspace. No one has posted yet and is already noon in the East.  Hopefully you are all busy with Memorial Week end activities.

Here it is  hot, going to be in low 90's with Humidex, is what it feels like although officially cooler.  We have many city streets blocked off for Race Wkend, with Marathon and Half Marathon scheduled, but organiers thinking of cancelling or shortening as too hot. Barely a week ago we had night frosts killing early sprouting crops and garden plants.  Our first heatwave, and came on suddenly.

Eating was better yesterday, today supper will be leftover bbq pork tenderloin medallion  shredded on a salad, and just had brunch: 2 coffees, boiled egg and buttered toast, in an hour or so will have a piece of fruit....

Activities are going to be inside in cool of my AC, several loads of laundry, tidying up for cleaner tomorrow ( yes, am messy so need periodic cleaner to make me tidy up before), and then half hour aqua exercises by myself in my condo pool...little kiddies if there with grandparents, are fascinated by my exercises, so hope there are none today. Also have to repot chives and a hibiscus to bigger containers, will do this evening and treat myself to a glass of cold white vino on the balcony  before supper, then movie inside on tv...going to be relaxing although mostly indoor because of the extreme heat.

Enjoy your weekend, stay safe and stick to your resolutions ...

Missing some of the formerly frequent posters like Judy, who was having health issues plus her  daily  entertaining zoo, and news from Eileen.  

thanks Jeannie, I talked it out and it's resolved I think. Some of what I said was very true but hard to accept...my friend realized that piece and thanked me for saying it. The part I regret is that I flared and pounced. I rarely do that. It's much better now. Not crying.

Julia,

I think lately we have all been doing such a great job being positive and uplifting to each other.

Insecurities are tough, and as women, I think we struggle with it so much more than men. We worry about our butts, our boobs, and everything in between.  Plus, as a rule, women struggle with how we are objectified through TV and other medias and then as if that isn't enough, we have to struggle with other women.  I tell my female tutors all the time that life is so hard for us because we are women and if there is one thing I want to teach them is that if one gets ahead, to always remember to reach back and help someone else. That's why I hate, hate, hate hiring new tutors because the girls spend a lot of time trying to play drama games or tearing each other down and I just put a stop to it immediately....those horrible games hurt us in the end and for those who have been the victim of bullying or such, that stays with us for ever.   Don't beat yourself up and whatever you said, just spend a day or two figuring out what you want to say and then apologize.   Relationships, as great as they are for us, can totally suck, can't they?
