[MENTION=651]SKendall[/MENTION] - hope you drop in soon

I hope that everyone had a happy AF eclipse day. I was thinking that it must have been so scary before people knew what was happening.

Have a great Monday evening and Happy Tuesday to Glassie

Re: One Step at a Time - August 2017

Ready to wrap up my day here at work. Not a bad day and I'm hoping the rest of the week stays the same.
Techie, hope you're feeling OK.
I did see the eclipse yesterday and it really was something, wasn't it? I thought the same thing Nora, that people must have freaked out back in the day! Hubby and joe are working on the fence again and I hope they're ok as the real feel temp is like 100!
Hope you all enjoy a fabulous AF Tuesday!

Good Evening, All,

I didn't see the eclipse but it was so cloudy here and I really wasn't expecting to see it.

Yes, Nora, I wonder what people thought of the eclipse back in the day.

Techie-please let us know how you're doing.:hug:

Liz, so glad hubs and Joe are working on the fence...always nice to get household projects completed...especially ones that have been hanging on for a while.

Techie and Glassie-please check in...we miss you.

A shout out to AG! We want to hear about Alaska. :-)

Off to work out.

I hope you are all having a happy AF Hump Day night.:happy2:

Re: One Step at a Time - August 2017

Hi Liz, Nora, Rusty, and you other wonderful Steppers. I am doing well. Still sticking to my anti cancer program and making progress. Slow steady progress. I miss good bread. Sugar, not so much. My diet is a tough one but I think it will be a key differentiator is winning.

In other news, I am writing. One short story, and two articles for outdoor/adventure periodicals. Having fun with these projects. Also updating business and marketing plans for my real job. Next week, I will be putting together a module on leadership & Emotional Intelligence.

So, because I lead such a dull life, I am toying with the idea of a cross country bike tour to raise cancer awareness. This is a 2018/2019 goal. There is a lot of interest from other like minded cycling loons I've known over the past ten years. Ideally, five to seven participants.

More to follow... xoxo

Techie, the cross country bike trip sounds great! I was thinking of doing a walk for breast cancer that goes for several days. It's for a good cause and yet it's a challenge, whic I think is a good thing. A win/win. You are sounding great. So many positives going on with you.

Rusty, sorry you missed the eclipse. I wasn't really interested in it but am so glad I got to see it. How was your entertaining/get together the other day?

So CJ handed in her resignation. Her last day, I believe, will be 9/12, sigh. Her boss said that there would always be a place for her there! They're going to miss her a lot. Mark asked me how I felt about it once she left. Honestly, I knew it was coming and it was like a jolt when she said it, but I'm ok for now. I'm hoping things aren't going to continue to build up with me again until I crash yet again. Trying to just stay in the moment and not look too far ahead.

Pauly, Nora. AG, glassie, Skendall TMH waves and hope you're all doing ok.

I'm baaaaaccckkkk! So glad you are here, Liz! When is the wedding? I can't remember...sorry!!! You must be so sad to think of CJ leaving. I know how close you are to your kids...especially your girls.:hug:

Good for you for recognizing that you have to stay in the moment and not think too far ahead. I have the same problem. I struggle with not projecting possible sadness/things that could go wrong in a situation I am anxious about or I am dreading. It usually ends up way easier than I thought it would be. Thank you for asking about my party.:heartbeat: Everyone had a great time...the weather wasn't too hot, and the food was delicious. I only knew one of these ladies really well..the rest of the people were friends of hers...LOL. The coolest thing was...a few of these ladies are very familiar with what I do for a living and know people who would be interested in my consulting services...and asked for business cards. Of course, they each got a full deck of cards to take with them. Hahaha!

Techie my dear...I think of the song by Billy Ocean when I think of you:heartbeat:..."When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going..." You really do! Congratulations on writing a book, and the article in the outdoor magazine. A x-c bike tour...well, it doesn't surprise me. ;-) :-) GOOD FOR YOU! So proud of you, and delighted you are making progress with regard to your cancer treatment.

Well, time for a shower and bed.

Sweet dreams, everyone!!

Re: One Step at a Time - August 2017

I'm here. Long week and just not in a happy frame of mind but I'm fine. Just dealing with some issues. I'll be back.
Talked to hospice today and they are coming out on Tuesday. I don't know why but that just hit me hard. It's not like anything changed - I am grateful for the help we'll be getting but I did shed a few tears.

[Rusty]

Re: One Step at a Time - August 2017

Aww, Nora,:hug:I would be bawling my eyes out at the thought of hospice coming to my mom's house. It would hit anyone hard. I wish I could fly out to CA and give you a huge hug today. Bummer that you are so far away!!!:sad: I will keep you close to me while I am at work.

Liz-I am glad it's Friday, too! LONG Week is right!
