Well I work all weekend so mine would be work related. I can buy myself something really nice to eat for lunch.

As for as doing something good I can give the family members a extra five minutes to visit with their sick love ones in the Critical Care Unit since Im the one who monitor the doors.

Wow- hard to believe it is going to be another weekend. Doesn't matter as much when one is retired. I will be returning to the mainland to see and maybe ride MY new horse. Yes, I am replacing my lesson horses. A great way to move through the dark winter months- horse shopping.

I'm going to a concert tonight with my husband. We try to have dates at least a couple of times a month. I'm 55 and we have been together for 36 years. We have a 21 year old son and an almost 18 year old daughter. We get along as well as any that have held out this long :--). Going to movies and concerts have helped to keep the friendship portion of our marriage going. Many of us know that staying friends after all these years isn't easy so this is something we are working on.

Wow, 36 years, congratulations! Not many couples are able to keep their marriage "alive" like you do. I believe doing things together is very bonding. yes

@amiablePeace77

Thanks. It was a good concert. My husband and I spent so many years being frugal and then one day I decided when it came to concerts, musicals or shows, I would never let the $$ dictate whether we would go or not. I would never spend that kind of money on clothes or other things, but being able to do this together gives us something to do, talk about and just be together. Staying friends is important and these outings help.

Yup. MP. Hey. Good to see you! You helped me a lot by sharing your experiences. We're a little more settled now. I just found 7 cups yesterday. How did I not know about this? It's amazing. I wish my son would join. He's better but mostly resting. How are you, friend?

WE went through so much together, you with your mom and me with my mom and dad. This organization and the way it's set up is so amazing. So supportive and friendly. Wish I had known about it before.

@AmaryllisBlossom

I heard about 7 cups on NPR during a time when I really needed support. I come and go on this group and yes it is very uplifting. I have found some good support here and try to offer mine too. Welcome.

@amiablePeace77 for pampering I make myself delicious food and not push myself too hard.

Helping others by keeping them active and involved in life.
