Eye Candy from "the big C" on Showtime
I just finished watching season 2 of the big C - one of my favorite shows. I have to admit I was mesmerized by Hugh Dancy - the actor who plays Lee a fellow cancer patient. Excellent acting. He plays a gay patient but in real life is married to Claire Daines.

I'm back - again!
So it's been almost 6 months but I'm back. A lot has happened including a move.
I woke up this morning thinking about all the lessons I've learned through life that I wish I understood at 50, 45, 40, 35, 30, 25, 21, 18, and so on. Today I kept thinking about "Is this all there is?" I've been there more times than I can count. It happens when I "think" I am stuck, bored, dissapointed, waiting, you name it. The lesson is that it is never "all there is" - there is always something more, something different, something new. Sometimes I've been smart enough to dig myself out, getting out of my comfort zone, initiating change, but more often than not in the midst of my wallowing the universe changes life for me in it's never static - there is always more - natural order.

I've been working on scrapbooks
I love old cars.
Working on a scrapbook of things I like, I thought I'd do old cars and trucks. The subject morphed to roadtrips and a beautiful picture of dusk when the lights first come on driving near a city inspired me to write this:
Dusk
Sun slips.
Night rises.
Eyes scan ...
... Vacancy?
Time to stretch,
relax, unwind.
Let the miles
well traveled
fade with the sun.

Success
Ooops - forgot my Friday quote!
"If you have made mistakes, there is always another chance for you. You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call 'failure' is not the falling down, but the staying down." - Mary Pickford

Autumn
This year for the first time I realize I am looing forward to the cooler seasons. I like the idea that it will get dark early and I will curl up toasty and warm in my favorite chair. I like that closed in, snug feeling. I like no grass to cut and no guilt that I'm not out pulling weeds. I love Thanksgiving and Christmas. I love Halloween too - but no kids out here in the wilderness. The last 2 years I didn't decorate for Christmas. Will this year be different?

Ver-r-r-y Inter-r-r-esting
Positive Thinking and Weight Loss?
"The study participants were randomly divided into two groups. The control group listened to a popular weight loss podcast currently on the market, and the study group listened to a weight loss podcast designed by the researchers and based on social cognitive theory, the belief that some learning can come from emulating the behavior of those we want to emulate. The control podcast focused on making cognitive changes to combat overeating and included ideas such as positive thinking to alter one's body image." LA Times - read the whole article above.

Yes, I'm very interested in the Law of Attraction!

Back on Track!
When I returned from OBX I weighed in a whole 7 lbs heavier! Now almost a week later I have lost 5 lbs. Two more to go to break even.
Was it the orange sherbert (I loved every bite - 2 scoops and I chose it over the banana split I saw on the menu) or was it the pancakes my son-in-law made? Next year we are planning on going for a whole week so I need to stay on track and lose at least a pound a week. So now you know I need to lose at least 50 lbs ... more like 70! When I'm done I expect to float like a butterfly!
