Hard Stuff

I’ve always carried extra weight, yes fat, around my middle. Annoying but not too bothersome until recently. Since breast cancer surgery in February, and radiation in May, I have been taking a preventative hormone drug. The plan is to take it for five years, One of its side effects is fatigue, and I can get quite cranky about not having the energy to maintain my usual social butterfly life. Plus the fat increases. I’m often lethargically annoyed. As a chronic optimist these changes have indeed been hard.

Uplifting Stuff

One day, my dear friend Tracey Peterson came to visit. She looked fabulous and bright eyed. She brought some melon to nibble on, and after purchasing a copy of Return to Center, told me about her weight loss using Weight Watchers. (WW). Note: We waited until Sunday Service, when we would both look marvellous to have our photo taken.

Discipline is not my strength as demonstrated by my grumble about fat, while not doing anything about it. But Tracey was so encouraging I bought into the idea. The WW app is now on my phone and I’ve discovered a whole new world of healthy recipes, accountability to take my daily walks, and to eat more consciously.

When was the last time you were inspired by a friend and made a healthy change?

Here’s to your continued resilience!

Two: Patricia’s Helpful Blogs/Articles

It is a privilege to be part of Mark Black’s circle of friends. I know him to be a man of short stature, yet he holds a high standing in my eyes and within the Canadian professional speaking community. He is also well respected by the international audiences to whom he delivers his message on resilience.

Throughout the book, Mark describes his journey of facing life-threatening events. These include spending much of his childhood in hospitals due to heart issues. As a young adult, his dreams were curtailed by the necessity of receiving a heart and double-lung. . . CLICK HERE 

Do you have people in your circle who drain your energy with constant complaining, criticizing, or moaning? Whether they do it consciously or unconsciously, you might feel like you’re constantly dealing with a “grouch.” Grouches can take different forms, and it can be exhausting to manage their negativity.

Although I typically avoid name-calling, let’s simplify things by calling them “grouches,” inspired by the well-known character, Oscar the Grouch, from Sesame Street.. CLICK HERE
