What in the world is going on here? I figured it was time for a facelift – a virtual facelift that it is. The cosmetic type is too costly and frankly a little scary. I’m afraid I may look like Joan Rivers. I’m sorry, but it’s true!

Not that Joan is scary, but the cosmetic surgery process and outcome. You just don’t know what you’re going to look like after you come through it.
Aging gracefully will have to come naturally on my terms. Meanwhile, my blog is getting a new look! I’ve contemplated doing a complete do over with another blog. In fact, I took my blogger pal, Les from Time Out For Mom, suggestion to simply set up a test blog to tinker with until I found something I like.
Scraping this blog and starting from scratch sounded like a painful process, as I thought on it. You know, getting my current followers to migrate to my new blog and importing my original blog contents into a new blog would take a lot of work. Instead, I just decided to revamp THIS blog. In short, this equals far less work and headache.
Whew doggies, I will say this much a blog facelift is easier done than the facial kind. I’m not done yet, but I’ll get there. Who knows, maybe I’ll be like Joan Rivers and decide another change is order if I’m not happy with this facelift.
What in the world have you been up to? Besides pulling my hair out from graduation and college preparation, I have worked my backside off, literally. I’ve pushed myself to get those jiggly places not so jiggly anymore. I’ve ridden my stationary bike for a minimum of an 90-minutes most days in which time I can log 20 miles. Yesterday, I stepped my game up and pedaled 40 miles. Whew, all I can say is shaping my blog up is much easier work than it is to do the ole body!
Why torment myself, you ask. Other than appearance, (I’m not a vain person, but I do take pride in the way I look) my number one fear is Type II Diabetes. This runs throughout my family. My grandparents have it, my mother has it, and most of her siblings have it. The real kicker here is none of them are what I would consider obese people but obviously enough overweight to cause the Type II gene to go bonkers. Now, they’re stricken with this disease for the rest of their lives. I don’t want any part of that world!
Where in the world are you today – physically and emotionally? I count my lucky stars and thank the good Lord above for blessing with excellent health. We have only one body. It’s up to us to make the most of it. The Bible tells us our body is the temple of the Lord, and yet many people abuse the temple. I can’t point a finger at anyone without pointing four back at myself. I’m guilty of abusing my body, too.
What folks often time fail to see is that emotional well-being is an intricate part of having physical wellness. Bad habits such as over-eating, smoking, alcohol or drug dependency are by-products of stress, guilt, low self-esteem, anger, depression, etc in our lives. Recognizing, managing, or eliminating emotional turmoil is the key to your success for a healthy, youthful, and beautiful you.
Where in the world would you like to be? With this wacky school year winding down, my mind keeps wondering to a little vacation or staycation time or anything that has to do with relaxation is marvelous!
Going through our waist deep mound of photos for the slide show presentation stirred the yearning to return to Maine. What a beautiful place that is, especially along the coast line! Those mysterious, romantic lighthouse along the rocky shore captive my imagination. It would be awesome to spend a night in one, don’t you think? Take a look for yourself…
