Like Diane, I am most at peace near water. Lake, ocean, river, creek, pond, pool, boat, canoe, kayak, air mattress, snorkeling, floating on my own back. I am wonderfully buoyant, in fact when I was obese, I used to worry that if my children needed rescuing from the bottom of our friends pool, it would be a struggle for me to get to them. I actually practiced. Even without my big fat flotation device, I am somewhat like a bobber. My husband claims my bones are hollow.

So there is a lot of water to enjoy here today. Melting is in full force and with the drips from the roof and the water running in the gutters the whole of outdoors sounds like a giant fountain. We don't experience flooding in my town, due to topography, but I know the sound of trickling water is far from soothing for many others around me.

I've done much better after carb tantrum yesterday. Keto type eating does not seem to be netting me much weight loss, but at least it has arrested the upward tick. I am trying to keep a philosophical attitude, collect data, and then evaluate yet again what I might need to do to lose some regain.
