Morning Margaret, or should I say "afternoon"?? I'm not sure what time it is in your neck of the woods.

Thank you so much for breaking down and explaining to me what that fruit is, all I can say is it sounds lovely. MMMMM good! I take a class at my
gym called Group Centergy, it's part Tia-Chi, part Pilate's and part
yoga, I LOVE IT!! I will never forget the first two days I took the class, my
body was hurting in places I never even knew I had muscles, I wanted to cry. But I stuck with it, and now 6 months later, my upper
body is stronger and I'm more flexible. It helped me out and my back. You said you slipped down stairs in your 20's I did the exact same thing, as it was 25 degrees outside and the railing was all ice and well so were the steps and I lost my footing and down I went of course I had nothing to grab onto as the rail was slicker than the steps and by the time I reached the bottom I felt like I had been beaten with a branch, I ached for weeks and my back has felt it for years after, so I know what you mean about that. There is no doubt you have people checking you out now, with all the
weight loss and all the walking you do, you are sure to be noticed. I would certainly take it as a "BIG sign of accomplishment" and be so happy for what you have done. Maybe it's time to come out of that reclusive stage and begin a new life so to speak. I can only speak for myself, but to me I don't care about the size of a person, if I feel you are approachable I"m going to strike conversation. Life is to short, enjoy what time you have here, and be happy with the new you!! Share it and your experiences, people crave a good life story, and I think you have one. Have a wonderful day today. I'll check back by later!
Hugs
Kim
