Yes, I do very much believe what we tell ourselves, in an internal convinced voice, to have a great effect on our feelings and behavior. So glad your friend is singing.
Joy Thanks for your comments. Yes, you’ve right about things changing with age. I never thought I’d find myself incapacitated. Weird isn’t it? I’m sure we all have had the sense that ‘old age won’t happen to me!’ It seems life had other plans.😂
Hope your recovery after your knee surgery is progressing well.
Nice entry.
Like you, I don't do clothes shopping anymore, and with the arthritis, I stopped walking outside, but I walk inside the house and around the yard. Things change greatly as we grow older and older.

Hats off to you! I don't think I could do what you did. On the other hand, having a lot of people fixing things while you are taking care of the kids and trying to keep them safe would have its own downers, too.
Anyhow, so glad you could and did do all that! That's some feat to be proud of.
Lyn's a Witchy Woman I wish you a speedy recovery from your knee replacements. I understand it’s a painful operation but worthwhile. I’ll be thinking of you on Monday. 😉🤞🍀☘️ Good luck, Lyn
I agree the cheetos aka the man who wants to be Hitler and Putin rolled into one, his ignorance will definitely have global impacts.
I've been getting as much as I can in order before my surgery on Monday, February 3rd. I'm having my right knee replaced followed my left shortly after. Writing didn't fit in for me either. Looking forward to seeing more of you in the months ahead.
weather where I live is also unsettling. Took the dogs out for a walk yesterday had some sunshine but today is fog and rain on top of a couple feet of snow turning everything to slush.
Every year I look forward to something called January Thaw. This year we just had a new blizzard every couple days. If the thaw does not show up properly in February, the sap won't run properly from the trees less maple syrup probably. Anyway, forecast says sunshine tomorrow. If we have a freeze in the night all slush will turn to ice.
If you could change anything about yourself physically what would you change? Why?
If I had been asked this question when I was much younger I could have given you a list.
In my plumper days I’d have wanted to be thinner. After I’d had my babies I desperately hated my stretch marks. My hair has always been frizzy and when I was a teenager I would have given anything to have sleek, straight, smooth hair.
Of course being 80 years old the list is different, and all to do wth physicality. I’d change my arthritic left foot for a new one for a start. I like to get rid of a few wrinkles, and my extremely thin skin caused from having to take steroids daily would definitely be changed to nice smooth thick skin.
So I’ve learned to accept my crooked teeth as part of my look, at least they’re all mine.
My stretch marks are a reminder of my pregnancies and my hair actually is easier to deal with than the flyaway straight hair I desired so long ago.
