**AND ANY & ALL THAT WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH US~
☀️ This past week was well overall.... And slightly busy.. Last weekend was a usual Saturday morning workout, then getting out & about afterwards for some shopping, a drive, some events, & simply enjoying the Summer weather.... Last Sunday we came together with family for the Day to celebrate a "Double-Birthday"~
🌴 Throughout the past week I got in my typical Work, Fitness classes, Outdoor time, Appt's, errands & tasks... And I got to spend some time at the Lake for walks with the Furbaby, while getting in our exercise & step-goals together... (As well just simply sitting by the Water & relaxing together)~ I also prepped for my weekend Beach-trip (which I'm currently on)...
🌊 This weekend, I'm currently at the Beach for a Short getaway to relax, regroup, & unwind.... (Fortunately we live close enough that we can "squeeze" these in every now & then when there's time), or when a "break & selfcare time" are simply needed... On Sunday I'll be back home to wrap up the weekend by getting back on track with my personal August wellness goals... And get back to my Zumba class, as well as a little more Selfcare time, before starting off a new week ahead~ As I really want to focus this month on simply enjoying these fleeting Summer days as much as I can Body, Mind, & Otherwise~
@PoliteOcean My favorite subject was English and my least favorite was History.
@YourCaringConfidant
I enjoyed English as well! (Especially writing Book reports for some reason, which i know most ppl “don’t” enjoy) lol … The Grammar part not as much…
What did you enjoy most about English class?!
Thanks for checking in to share with us this week!
@PoliteOcean Me too! 😂 I even took honors for it. I did a 10 page report in 2 hours back in high school. I was a major procrastinator. And what's even crazier is still to this day, in an email, I have receipts of my submissions from turnitin my senior year. We're talking from 20 years. Lol. Even though I liked English because of writing, I did not like Creative Writing. 🙃
@PoliteOcean
My favorite subject was French. Learning about the culture was fascinating. My least favorite was Algebra...Aaugh!
@caringShoulder1357
@caringShoulder1357
oh my goodness we are practically Twinning! I LOVED French! Got straight A’s in that sucker! (Now I can barely remember a lick of it)?! 😂 Guess they say if you don’t use it you lose it! 🤷🏻♀️
But like you I DETESTED ANYTHING “Math” related!!! Basic math, algebra…whatever. You name it…
Have you ever been to France?!
“mérci” For checking in to share with us this week!
@PoliteOcean
I have not been to France. I do occasionally get on Duolingo and toy with French or Spanish. What are your thoughts on Geometry? Like you, I despised all math. Geometry, however, I enjoyed. In learning the algorithms, It was so rational.
@caringShoulder1357
Are you enjoying Duolingo? I thought about trying it out myself. But want it to be worth it…
Geometry 📐… That would also be a Big NO! lol… 😂… (I do not like Math in any way, shape, or form)!.. Funny thing is I’m a Nurse.. so figure that part out?! 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
@PoliteOcean
I enjoy Duolingo as I do only the free app. On the occasion that I get the urge to work on a foreign language, it can be enjoyable. However, I only go so far. Once is gets too involved, I drop out. A nurse, how awesome!
☀️ Hey all, Welcome to the Weekend~... How was your week?... My week was good. I only actually worked one day. Had training on Monday, worked Tuesday and was able to take Wed thru Friday off. We went on a weekender and spent some time hiking some trails and looking for some Dambo Trolls Saturday. We managed to add six more to the list of those we have already seen. The downside, It was a 4 hour drive from home....we split the drive on Thursday night and stopped 2 hours in, got a room that we used as "home base"....we had some adventures on Friday by visiting a historical Fort and battle ground and then drove the final two hours on Saturday, hiked around to find the trolls, drove the two hours back to home base and drove the final two hours home today....lots of riding, but the in between was very educational, interesting and fun....
🌴 This is our "2nd" Check-in for August... How are you simply feeling since we've started this 8th Chapter?! I am feeling a little depressed....while it is still nice out, there is something in the air (or maybe my head) that summer is ending.......
🌊 August Celebrates "NATIONAL WELLNESS MONTH"~ ... It Focuses on "Self-care, Stress Management, & Building Healthy Daily Habits for your Overall Wellbeing, Physically, Mentally & Emotionally"!... What are some ways that you could honor your own Health & Wellbeing by Prioritizing your Wellness with some Self-care this month?! I want to continue doing the right things for my mental, emotional and physical health.....I think changing small(er) things is where I need to be right now....I have been focusing on the larger "all or nothing" approach for a long time.....I think I need to change this....
☀️ JUST FOR FUN: So it's "Back-to-School" time for Many... What was Your Most & Least Favorite Subjects in School?! My mind isn't what it used to be....I don't really remember my most and least favorite subjects.....lol
Thank you for engaging us once again this week.....I hope you all have a great week ahead.....
@CyclingThroughLife
Hey there Cycling!~
Sounds like you had a pretty adventurous time?! (Only having to work the one day makes it even better)... There Must’ve been some about this particular weekend because we did a similar thing as well & just took off…. Seeing as how we have a good bit in common I imagine that you are trying to squeeze in the “most” that you can of the dwindling Summer season~ And it sounds like you succeeded in doing so with your weekend… “Interesting & Fun” is always “Icing on the cake” to any road trip. Glad you found enjoyment in it!~
I totally understand what you mean about the feeling of there being “something in the air”…. I think it always stems from the whole “back to school season”.. Despite it still being Summer, seeing school buses again, hearing everyone talking about school, even seeing the stores already placing out “Fall items” in August, can give anyone Un-“Summery” vibes!.. (And typically all have me personally feeling some kind of way myself)… For us “Summer-lovers” that can all definitely give a depressing vibe as the Summer months move by so swiftly?!… So I totally get those feelings~
I think it’s great that you are continuing to focus on your goals of working on your overall well-being. And that you seem to know for yourself exactly what you want & need to work on going forward, And where any changes may be needed. Keep going & keep up the great work as you continue working on yourself & your personal goals.
And thank you for checking in to share your week with us! Always great to hear from you. And please continue to keep us posted on how you’re doing!
@PoliteOcean Hi PoliteOcean. This is my first time posting in this forum. I used to be able bodied but now I'm disabled. I can walk but have very low stamina. I have a good doctor and a good clinic but I need alternative medicine treatment. I live in a high crime area. I'm a Christian but unable to attend church. I try to read my Bible everyday when I'm feeling up to it. Both of my parents are deceased. My Myers-Briggs type is INTJ. Do you know what that means? Well only 2 percent of the human population has my personality type. I have a hard time fitting into groups. I like people but it's that I'm on a different wavelength. I'm not married but I will get married someday. Taylor Swift's wedding made a mockery of everything holy. Marriage is a sacred union. When I heard she was getting married I said to myself "She doesn't want to be married." She's not going to be faithful. Poor Travis he's in for a wild ride. I'll tell you more about myself in upcoming posts.

Hello there! And welcome to the Healthy Living community. It’s great to have you here with us…
It sounds like despite some of the challenges you may face of being disabled, living in a crime area, having a personality that might be different from many around you, & being unable to attend church, that you are trying to do what you can to live as well as you can right now... And I think it’s great that you try to read your Bible daily. Having a good spiritual life can be so important for many in their emotional, mental & spiritual wellbeing. And it’s also nice that you see a future for yourself in a bonded marriage… As far as Taylor Swift, she definitely gets her fair share in the social media doesn’t she?!… But we certainly look forward to hearing more from you & learning more about you. So please don’t hesitate to continue to check in with us weekly, keep us updated, & let us know how you’re doing! And thank you again for sharing with us.
