Me too.

Sometimes there is often nothing better than cool refreshing water.

What is something healthy you like to eat and drink on hot days?

Is chocolate milk healthy?  I know it's not.

Carrots and celery sticks are good.

@WharfRat

I think a glass of iced homemade almond milk with unsweetened cocoa powder, sweetened with Xylitol or stevia is okay, but in moderation of course. The bought versions often contain much sugar!

Carrots and celery sticks are great snacks in my opinion!

@amiablePeace77 hello I too would like to find peace inside and out. Being over 50 leaves me few to talk things out that are confusing to me now that happened when I was young.

I am a 65 year old female born in Jamaica, Queens NY, moved to Manhattan Greenwich village at 8 years old which will always be the love of my life that Its my plan this is where I will take my last breath.

On hot days I drink mo stly water or occasionally sparkling water.

I e get have 2 adult children a girl and a boy. I first became parent at 21 years of age.

A zfes as no I cCC. Lost my mom when I was 34 but was abused by my step father from 9-21 years old and from my ex from 21-31 years old. I got away from him after he strangled me

Went to a day treatment program from 34-54 that gave me the chance to live life and appreciate everything in the world.

At 44 my a man who later became my common lose husband who taught me what love really felt like and showed me what it was to be loved, accepted every single day.

Since his passing still thrill in his love as well as God

I am now out of living life being abused, appreciating life, nature, and freedom, my family. I’m now in the secular Franciscan 3rd z order of St. Francis learning all I can about God and living gospel to life-life to Gospel.

You've lived a very rough life for a long time. I wish you did not have to go through this all 💙. I'm glad you found the one who taught you the true meaning of love. So sorry for his passing, it must have been hard for you. I hope you will find the support you need on the site.

As crazy as it may sound-no one asks to be accused who ever does. Yet I needed to find ways even with those bad things to be grateful for it. It was those things that helped make me into the person I am today. Ex: if I got hurt it taught me how to try my very best not to hurt others then that pain that was done to me helped me not to do to others thereby helping me to be a better person.
