G'Mornin beautiful folks in FS land🌞

It's supposed to get HOTTTTT🥵 this week here in the Pacific Northwest. I don't do well in the heat cuz of my autoimmune disease, so I'm gonna keep busy here in the AC and doing YouTube exercises. Already went out and watered my plants and moved a few potted ones to a shadier location for the next few days. 💐💐💐💐

Thinking about going to the ocean, but will wait till later in the week when other folks are at work. Oh, the joys of being RETIRED!!

Take care, my dear ones 😎💙😎💙😎

Happy Wednesday!🌞

Well, I'm only down a couple of pounds from when I restarted...but at least I'm headed in the right direction.🌻 Still finding it difficult to log everything like I used to and especially challenged to not eat constantly while watching TV in the evenings with hubby. I'm trying to snack 'wisely' or at least 'wisER' than I have been. 😜

However, I'm doing much better about exercising! Nothing too drastic, but for myself, consistency is a huge win! Since I started using the AARP Senior Planet app and actually putting fitness classes on my Google calendar and reminders on my SmartWatch, I'm happy to say that I'm feeling more limber, energetic, strong and energized. WHOOOOOOP!

Thank you FS friends, for 'being here' for me and for each other!💙💙💙💙

G'Day🌞 (It's way past morning here!)

When I was in middle school, my favorite poem "Desiderata" was up on the wall in my bedroom. I happened to come across it this morning and wondered if the once inspiring lines might relate to our journey here on FS.

"Go placidly amid the noise & the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly & clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity & disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue & loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome disciple, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
