Some Good Advice

Some Good Advice

On Thursdays I meet with my Weight Watcher group on Zoom. After three years of meeting weekly with many of the same people it’s good to see everyone’s faces and to stay connected. 

As we discussed how we were handling our new set of circumstances in regard to our weight, one of our members offered a very positive bit of advice that I thought I would share with you. 

Each morning when Florence awakens she asks herself this question, “What do I GET to do today?”

What a wonderful way to put a positive spin on a not so positive circumstance.

When we think about HAVING to do something often times we can get bogged down in all the responsibilities incurred. However, when it suddenly becomes our choice it’s a whole different matter. 

Now Florence enjoys dancing so she spends some of her day doing so. Another of my friends has just taken up coloring, and she says she feels like a kid again. Several other friends are out in their gardens planting Zinnias. 

As children each summer day was a new adventure as you got to choose what fun thing you would do that day. Now granted we are somewhat limited to our home and yard, but think about the things you really enjoy. 

Think back also to what you enjoyed as a kid, and give it a go. Just like my friend and her coloring, generally what we enjoyed as a child is still enjoyable today.
