I feel like such a senior citizen when I write here. I certainly am old enough to know better than to be in this shape. You know all that stuff about 60 being the new 40? Not if you're overweight and have been for five decades! Knees fail. BP won't come down. Everything sags. Hair falls out. LOL Don't you feel better already knowing you're not ME? You've still got a chance! Change now before it's too late! I personally am hoping to feel like I am just 60 when I get this demon under control.

Thanks for the encouragement for everyone to handle this as soon as possible. That is why I finally had surgery at 43. Now 44 and five months out I am feeling so great and so much more energetic. I exercise every day and I like it! I would never have said that 103 lbs ago. But here I am. Still a long way to go but moving in the right direction toward health. I wish I had started this years ago. I feel great!

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips.

A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
