It is Monday morning and I feel almost on top of the world today. I just walked to the post office and back, it sits at the bottom of a big hill and I am huffing and puffing and sweating when I get to the top of it. But I did it and I tell myself that at least I can walk the hill. But I have muscles in places that have been at the beach drinking those unbrella decorated drinks for three years and they aren't happy about being called back to work!

Yesterday, it was beautiful, 87 degrees, breezy and sunny and a bit humid, so I had the urge to garden. I went shopping, bought a few plants, got the last bag of potting soil available. I felt good, even splurged and ate at the chinese restaurant.

Eating chinese for dinner was a nice change as I have been eating a banana and a bottle of water for dinner to loose some weight. Next week I think, I'll start to walk every night with my friend Sherry. Yesterday was a good day. Today, I'm dressed and showered and been out of the apartment all before 9 a.m. Guess I needed to change my ways some. I also plan on paying bills today. I seem to be slowly inching myself back up to how I used to be pre stroke. I guess it all helps in my illusion that I am getting closer to how I was. I am happier with life in general. I have less tension. I appreciate things more. I do have an internal struggle to make myself get back on the computer. I guess I know what a catapillar feels like as it turns into a butterfly and gets to fly away. I just hope I'm as pretty as a butterfly........ Ha!

I have to go and tangle with the sheets to get them on the bed. I keep putting it off, I can't anymore.
