Greetings Sunday Zen People

I think I weighed 148.5 today but my scale was sort of strobing. Could not make up its mind.

Safe travels Ann. Getting in and out of airports is the worst part of it these days. Have fun.

Liz I am at a loss on what to say on your DS incident with birth father. Only that this man must be a fool. Or he may have been gobsmacked by the revelation of a son if he did not know he existed. No excuse but may help your DS deal with it better. Your DS is lucky to have you and your family and not this guy.

Well Diane O, I know you will give Sadie some extra hugs and attention since Atlas has been the dog of the hour for a bit. We do this too with our dogs. Tesla is on a walk with DH but Chip was napping so I will take Chip out later. And they must get an equal amount of dog treats even though they can't count.

Well, I guess I better read the zen guy. When I get around to it. What does the zen guy say about procrastination?

Dinner last night was cold shrimp and some tomato salad. Yum yum for summer treats. But Bonnie150 I want to come eat at your house! Home made ice cream. One thing that has helped me with weight is that I no longer much like to cook and bake. Years ago I often made cookies just for myself. I would get a cookie urge at about 8 pm. By the time they were made I was sort of over it but would eat them anyway. I no longer care for baking - I think because the playing with clay satisfies the need to use my hands and my hands don't work as well anyway.

Gallery duty yesterday wasn't too bad. Quite a few visitors and some sales. We have beautiful hanging flower baskets and in the down time I watered and deadheaded them. Busy hands again. Idle hands find ways to get food and insert it into mouth. Remember years ago when people had their jaws wired shut in order to lose weight? How barbaric was that??!!!! (some people think having part of stomach removed is barbaric. but its not. ).

Nothing profound to offer on weight control. Probably I have not had enough coffee. Diane S

Hey All

I just googled Zen and procrastination and there is lots out there. And Ann's zen guy has an article on it. First thing is to recognize the harm that procrastination does and that it is often out of fear. There are a set of strategies on being mindful and getting out of the habit. Must study more. Of course, by writing this I am putting off other stuff.....Diane S

OFFS!!! Just lost my post...

The gist was I was up super early so I napped this afternoon while Andy watched golf.

Liz, sosorry about DS. Hopefully he can separate his self worth from this horrible event.

Altas...you've done so well!! You have a great Mommy and Daddy!! You're doing a good thing.

I need to get up and cook dinner and finish laundry.

i have to say, it's been fun adding my VSG family to Facebook. I like seeing other important parts of life that do not focus on VSG. Babies. Trips. Dogs. Jobs. Family. Fun!

It's been a great day!

OFFS! Took me a minute, but once I got it, I LOVED IT immediately!
