I also love to read you for the hope you seem to convey, as I see it, through your righting. A hope that quietly under lies your every deed.<br />livhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091094639074377780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-11401399106921057092018-02-02T11:39:07.947-05:002018-02-02T11:39:07.947-05:00I'm glad you are enjoying a break -- we loved ...I'm glad you are enjoying a break -- we loved "The Crown" too! I've heard they're changing out the actors for the next season to get older people. If that's the case, I'll miss the ones on the show now, but it will be interesting to see how it changes! I think it's important to keep working. It may be occasionally stressful but we all need to have a raison d'être, right?

I'm happiest when I walk at least three miles a day. I retired more than a decade ago, and as I look back I think I should have stayed working. It really is a good thing for keeping the brain healthy, vital, and strong. I love that you keep at it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-68450780497211024692018-02-02T03:49:23.249-05:002018-02-02T03:49:23.249-05:00Yes, working as a distraction from what we really ...Yes, working as a distraction from what we really need to do, feel, think? I am with you, I rather crawl to work than consider an alternative and while at work, I start thinking about so many things and ideas that working stops me from discovering.<br /><br />All that duty, female duty, I think.

As women, I think we are programmed to do for others first and meet the needs of others. Like work, this keeps us busy (distracted). When things slow down and demands decrease, we have time on our hands. It, naturally, is a bit unsettling. Gym time, movies and time to pursue hobbies and interests sounds delightful, but also hard to embrace. I, too, must work on "me" time.

Of course, there were scars, and perhaps Charles bore the brunt of them. And my parents loved bridge, too. They played for whole weekends at a time, which I loved because their attention was completely off of us when they did. It was such a social event for them, too; they and their bridge cohorts seemed to so enjoy each others' company. My mom played tournament bridge, too, and up into her high 80s was a force to reckoned with there. She had such a fine brain.37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-45890259621420688972018-02-01T13:32:33.299-05:002018-02-01T13:32:33.299-05:00Well, movies and the gym are sort of for yourself,...Well, movies and the gym are sort of for yourself, right? Although the gym isn't exactly fun. <br />Funny, I've been wondering lately if I should have learned bridge earlier in my life. My mother sure loved it. <br />The episode in this season's Crown that got me was about when Philip had been sent to boarding school. I won't say more than that in case you haven't seen it. <br />May your work worries prove to be needless. I'm sure they will be but as I have said before- I would be exactly the same. <br />You are loved, woman. You are loved. Ms. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.com
