Guest guest Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Oh Ruth, I hope I didn't make you feel like I thought you were whining! I am a type A personality and always go through that stupid guilt trip whenever I am not doing anything productive, So I guess I was trying to pass along what the wonderful people on this board have taught me. Get over it and take care of you. For me, being idle makes me crazy, so I've been finding things that I can do sitting! Forgive me if I didn't explain it well!

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Terry you did not make me feel bad.I think it is great that you can still do the things that occupies you, I know I am blessed to still be able to do the little stuff.I have read a lot here and realize there are a lot of us that have slowed down from what we used to do. When is the wedding for your grand daughter?
