Good Morning friends!Happy Forever Fierce Day!I have a special feature today to bring you as I am a member of the Fierce 50, a group of 50 and over ladies that support one another, encourage, and find it wonderful to be 50+ and enjoying life. I am sharing with you some of the ladies, who consider themselves "Fierce at 50", who are non-bloggers but want their voices heard.
Did I get your attention? I am not really talking about me persay, but rather a question I would get asked by adult students before considering lessons, and also a question people may ask themselves once they reach a certain age. After teaching guitar for many years, I have heard the refrain, ' Am I too old... (to- insert interest here) "to learn an instrument?' I can honestly say I never thought there was a time limitation to learning. So, of course i tell the adult that wants to study guitar, of course not!
Happy Friday ladies!February already! wow. Can anyone else completely wipe January off the calendar and be good with that? My favorite season is Fall, cool air, beauty in the trees and nature. Winter, a stark contrast, with bare trees, cold weather and an instinct to stay inside, can make it difficult for one's state of mind and body. Keeping fit can be a challenge, for some, in the Winter months, but also a necessity for those with a chronic condition.
Morning Ladies,How do you perceive yourself? Is it the same way others see you? Often times we are hard on ourselves, and I think, as women, compare ourselves to others or we find flaws in our own selves. I loved this quote by Marilyn Monroe, “ Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.' There are so many quotes about being yourself, and being happy with what you see.
What I have come to realize over the years, is that, i strive to be a good person and the person I am proud to be. All of the insecurities over the years, especially in my youth have faded, as i look at myself as someone who has overcome challenges, a person who cares about others, and someone with a strong relationship with family.
Hello Friends!We all know this is the time of year that people make New Year's resolutions, resolve to go to the gym, lose weight etc. I am not one for New Year's resolutions, but i do like to reflect on the past year and what I may want to change, add to my life, what seems to be working . I also like to review my thoughts on the Blog, what topics I may want to cover, how to improve, and what I can offer my readers. I have always enjoyed writing, so in addition to meeting so many wonderful people, this is something that I strive to continue. I do get frustrated with social media, as it takes up a fair amount of time. I hope to try and make better use of that time.
I am away in Harleysville, PA today for the Christmas celebrations. I look forward to sharing my goals, plans for the New Year, and telling you about our Christmas visit. I want to thank you, my friends and readers for the continued support of the blog, and tell you I appreciate the comments and feedback I receive, it really does mean a lot to me. So, have a wonderful Holiday with your family, lets enjoy the meaning of the Season, have eggnog and cookies, and I will see you after the New year!I will be taking a computer break for...
Happy Friday ladies!I thought I would talk about tips or how I enjoy the Holidays with my chonic pain condition, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. If you are a regular reader, you know that I have been dealing with this genetic condition for almost 10 years now. People without a condition may find the Holidays stressful. Lots of running around, preparing the house for company, shopping for loved ones, making meals, and possibly traveling. If I let myself get overwhelmed, I can easily feel anxious or stressed as well. If you are one with a chronic pain condition, I hope to share some of the ways to make the Holidays enjoyable, and not set you back with your health during this time.
Happy Friday friends!It has been a bit tougher several weeks as I have been getting dry needling to try and get back on track after Asheville. It really is my saving grace. If you don't know about dry needling, read HERE. It is not accupuncture, but helps release muscular knots in the body. Before you know it, the Holiday season will be upon us, and there will be Gift Guides and Black Friday Sales etc.. on blogs, so i thought I would do something fun and share a bit more about myself, besides my love for Fashion. Several bloggers have shared things about them self recently, and i thought i would join in!
