Telling My Stories and Discovering Your Stories

Announcement #3 ~ Trying to Get Healthier ~ Again
08/11/08

Okay well ... Violetkey and I are tired of being unhealthy ... I put on some major tonnage this last winter and it's not been just falling off during the summer. So ...

We'll keep you posted on how it goes. Right now I'm just working on getting more exercise (doing better), remembering my vitamins (also doing much better) and not eating desert every time I leave the house. The latter has been most difficult. NY does mighty fine deserts especially upstate in the small towns.

We started a Google group and invited the other girls in the family and Linda ... but ummm ... so far I'm the only one showing up to that party. ... have to work on my encouragement skills too. Like, I'm sure everyone is out working on their plans. I also need to make sure everyone actually got their invites.

The rules for V and me (& the group are)
#1 you make your own plan ... it's hugely personal
#2 no one gives advice unless advice is asked for (I've already gotten my hand slapped on this one & deservedly so.)
#3 E N C O U R A G E

Alrighty ... well .. it's a life change thing ... so I'll be reporting on the life changes.

Oh and I started reading Maker's Diet ... hmmm yeah ... thinking on that ...

I enjoy your comments. And I want you to enjoy reading each other's comments. To that end purpose, I moderate comments. If you're impatient, MeeboMe.

Commenting Ideas
  • If you do not have a blog or site, skip the "web site" line, pull a name or "handle" out of your head, write a note, push the button. (No excuses!)
  • If this entry reminds you of a story of a similar place in time in your life, you are welcome to tell your story.
  • If you discover your story is taking more than 3 or 4 paragraphs (and if you have a place on the web for your writings), I will not be insulted if you take your story back and finish it at your own site. But then I will be disappointed if you don't come back and leave me a summary of your story and a link -- in the comments.
  • If you have already written a story about a similar place in time, please feel free to leave a summary and a link.
  • It's never too late to make a comment or tell a story.

Hi! This is a great post about becoming more healthy. Very in-keeping with your "things to do" post on twitter! I saw your tweet re: the Hudson Valley Segway Tour. It's AMAZING. I went on it just a few weeks ago while visiting our dealer there. You also couldn't ask for a more beautiful day with the weather. Jack and Jason are wonderful and will take very good care of you...tell them Sarah from Segway says hi and make sure you let me know how it goes! ENJOY!

Dude! I want to be in your Google group. I've gained 20 pounds since January and like you, I'm trying to start slow by adding exercise, eating a little better, and taking my vitamins.

It has been too long--thanks for your last comment after the earthquake.

~ Hey Lady, So great to hear from you! Check your email for the rest of the news ~pam

    Why does this Site Exist?
    10/26/06
    My website is largely my memoir ... my musings, photos, encounters, life's stories.

    But what really thrills me is that when I let go of my stories, it's like sending out little sail boats out on expeditions. Very often they come back to me filled with other people's stories. Continue...
