There are Copers and There are Complainers
Bloom where you are planted,
Make lemonade….
all those things are just words,
But for Nancy, it is no problem.
Nancy had a serious neck injury that required surgery. Most of us would be laying in bed. Not Nancy. She joined us at knitting one day and just drank her Chardonnay through a straw.
The clematis are blooming all over town.
I may have to buy one for my garden. Are they easy to grow?
It is a gorgeous cool summer Sunday here.
I was comfortable for my whole walk.
I got my New Balance Wrist Pedometer and I'm learning.
I'm learning that we only take about 3,000 steps at my job in 8 hours.
I'm learning that with one good long walk, I can reach 10,000 steps very easily in a day.
For me that's about 5 miles a day.
I'm learning it is fun to watch all this.
Let's hope I can watch some weight fall off this summer!
If not I promise not to complain,
I'll just drink Chardonnay through a straw.

Good luck with walking off the weight. I have a pedometer. I find it keeps me accountable.
Good luck on the "stepping." Again, we do what it takes.
Hugs,
Meredith
We walk together after dinner (when it is not raining).
I have been told that I do not complain about some things but I know I do I guess just not out loud or in front of a lot of different people.
It is admirable and so wonderful that your friend behaves as she does. It will get her places in life. My sister had stage 4 Non-Hodgkins. She was given a 5-10 % chance of living. That was in 2000-2001. She had a bone marrow transplant in 2001 and she is living a good life now with her husband and their daughter. She will state that she has chemo brain every once in a while now.
My little niece is going to be 3 this coming week. She was born with half a heart and has had about 4-5 heart surgeries. She will be having more this week. She is what I call the cruise director of my sister's family. She tries to keep up with her older brothers and she is very protective of her 3 month old little brother (he is her baby --as she states so forthrightly).
She amazes all who know her.
Your friend has such a great attitude and it shows in how she presents her life and that is what helps her through the rough times. I wish her all the best.
I'm surprised you don't get in more steps at work!
I'm proud of your "steps"; keep it up!! And take some for me! LOL.
