my last post was a "hit".

I could tell by the minute that one of you guys read my post. I pretty much got phone calls all morning.

SO...

a) thank you for the concern and love.
b) I felt MUCH better when I talked to YOU this morning followed by a mini-coffee session with another.
c) I need to add that I felt MUCH better after I wrote. I just need to "verbalize" what I am thinking to make *myself feel better. Sorry to freak everyone out.

Which brings me to the conclusion that I have wonderful friends. And not *that many people know about this "kept secret". Just people I trust... and strangers.

I have been in contact with one of my favorite blogs. I don't have her permission to tell you what it is, but it's a fantastic blog about pregnancy. She's just so dang honest that it is admirable. She is brave and carefree and she doesn't even realize it.

Which brings me to points that I am impacted deeply on positive reinforcement and it just makes me feel all "warm and fuzzy". I wrote to her awhile ago introducing myself and she responded so positively. I responded to her last post (I love when people recognize and post comments) and she replied back saying that I am one of her most "encouraging reader friends". So sweet.

Then on to Cf, whom I just told about this blog today (only the second male that I have told!! --- that's HUGE for me!). I don't "know" him, ie we've never met but its very enjoyable chatting with him... all thanks to fb! ha. We have the same name, yet no relation. He gives me positive feedback and I don't even think he knows the impact.

It seems that "thank you" is too little for everyone who cares for me and checks up on me, even though pretty much all of you (with very little margin of error) are in a far-away land!

I might add that I started this blog to help me in my weight-loss, which we all realize has been a fiasco! ha. Well, I will continue to fight "the good fight". But now it seems this blog serves a different purpose... for my friends to catch up with me without "catching up with me".

So THANK YOU. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE! STOP LOOKING OVER YOUR SHOULDER--- IT IS *YOU!!!

On the health-front...

didn't want to do ANYTHING today. Swam for 45 minutes. 3/4 of a mile.
