I absolutely agree Lori..... we are, each one of us, unique!!! As you can see it is nice to discuss things and find out that others have the same reaction.. Especially regarding clothes and balance!! I too watch my feet way toooo much. In my house I'm a pro ..... walk outside and it's slow going... As far as the exercise if someone needs encouragement to do "what you gotta do" we are here for you also. Just put the word EXERCISE in the heading and those who want will get involved. It seems a bit safer than discussing Politics or Religion! :) just kidding!! My one and only Grandchild is visiting me so I am over the top with joy! It's a beautiful here in Virginia...
