Pensive

This has been a bit of a strange week.  Nothing dramatic, nothing depressing, just a week.  I guess I have lived with so much drama for so long, I really don't realize that life can be calm.
Of course I miss Lisa every day.  I fervently wish that I could turn back time.  I get frustrated watching all the bogus weight loss plans and products.  I am even fed up with Dr. Oz.  He touts health but a lot of what he preaches now is weight loss products, and skin creams to smooth the wrinkles.  I never realized wrinkles were a health hazard. I also get a bit defensive when they insinuate that if people 'just had a little bit of willpower' or gave up hamburgers and chips, they would look like the latest supermodel.  It is interesting that the people they have touting all that stuff are almost emaciated - that is not a good role model either.  I know people who couldn't gain weight if their life depended on it, and those who can't lose it.  I am not suggesting that being fat is healthy, or that we should not try to maintain a healthy weight.  I only know too well how damaging overweight can be.  However, the media does not stress the fact that 'normal'  is different for different people.  Just an observation.
I don't know how I got on this rant.  It was not my intention. 
We had a few very cold, snowy days.  We spent Wednesday inside - the roads and sidewalks were slippery so we decided it was just best to stay in.  It is sunny today - chilly but at least the sky is blue.
I hope you all had a good Thanksgiving with family, friends and yummy turkey!  Enjoy the weekend!
Lisa:  I miss you always and love you forever, Mummy
