Thanks so much for your positive thoughts. Today is so much better. The sun is out and Jack and I took a nice walk 'around the block' - a mile and that was wonderful to get the warm sun on my face.

I'm making better efforts to eat better also. In fact it is lunch time in a few minutes and I'm hunger for something yummy, leftover Sloppy Joes and a banana.

Then back to doing a little sewing. If I do only 45 minutes to 1 hour, it helps my back not hurt. I've already done my first 45 minute session as well as spot cleaning (with the big and heavy carpet shampooer) the carpet where Jack had an accident. so things are looking up.
