Bella,

No, it's not on horseback...but that would add a definate different edge to it!! And I can just picture the faces of some that I fence with. They'd love it! I've attached a picture I got from online that shows a fencer in full gear.

PS-I don't know if the picture will work. The last one I attached didn't. *finger's crossed*

OH!! Fencing! Of course! You know what I was thinking of - jousting!!! hahaha Silly me!! How funny.

Good on you Lisa. Must be great fun.

Detailed and cleaned every bit of dust from in and outside of computers and work areas, among a lot of organizing and other cleaning.

Had a wonderful conversation with my daughter at her bedtime that lasted 40 min. Omg'sh, Her humor and smiles are precious. We really, really enjoyed this time, and without a single interruption!

Thouroughly enjoyed this evening, as well.

I went for coffee this evening. Out.. in a busy coffee shop with someone I had just met.

I had some anxious, heart-pounding moments. However I did have a great time and a great talk. I am so proud of myself!

Good for you, Bec! I'm glad you had a good time.

I had an interesting experience I'd like to share with all of you. I thought I would treat myself to a massage, specifically, shiatsu. I was nervous about it considering how hyper-sensitive I have been with anyone touching me. I didn't get a shiatsu massage. I ended up receiving a qigong treatment. Simply, I think it's a form of Chinese medicine. It was a rather bizarre and foreign experience, but a good one. I have never believed in energy work. After today's experience, I am more open-minded about it.

Tude, what was involved in your session?

I went to the first day of a weekend graduate class I am taking. It's hard to go and be involved, but I think it helps me be a better teacher, so it's worth it.

kers, I don't know what she did. I am not familiar with meridians, chi, stagnation, chakras and the like. Quite honestly I don't believe in that stuff, yet I don't disbelieve in many things due to my own ignorance. I'll try just about anything once.

Best I could without getting worked up, I shared some of my recent difficulties and experiences. From her perspective it made sense. She said something about my patients' negative energy stuck inside of me causing an imbalance. I don't know, it's all foreign to me. Then she showed me how to do a qigong exercise to do at home. It reminds me of tai-chi. It's supposedly clears toxic emotions. Then I layed on the massage table and closed my eyes. I am shocked I was able to do this. It's difficult for me to be still and even more difficult to trust someone. Then, I am not sure if I understand it at all. Did she use her energy to try and rebalance mine? Being quite the skeptic, I would not believe it's possible unless I experienced it. Afterwards, I was very tired and in a bit of a daze and relaxed. Am I still skeptical? Yes, but I am going go back in a couple weeks. We'll see.

Well, this didn't happen today, nor is it about me, but I did want to say I am really proud of Anthony for how well he has managed his PTSD despite stressful situations of late.

I made my boyfriend talk to my mother on the phone. She would have driven me crazy and stayed on the phone for about an hour, and I just can't deal with her today.
Instead she spoke to him for about two minutes, he hung up and promptly said "You owe me big time!!!!!" He was joking, I said I want a present for industrially cleaning his house, carpets upholstery walls etc. I wasn't joking. ta da!!!!
