Thanks, Pas and Pat..for the little boost of self-image. I've actually put on quite a bit of weight since those pics were taken three years ago, during which time I think I have done this to "insulate" myself from further attempts at dating! I "clean up" okay, I guess, getting up each morning to face the day! but if I get myself in shape, looking like a "hottie!", LOL! , it will now be just to feel better physically and mentally, not with the intention of attracting anyone! No conversations with fellas today in passing and going about my business. I think I have to look at them for this to happen! and usually I keep my head down or eyes ahead! I did have a lovely lunch with the young female student who shares the grad painting studio with me. She's my daughter's age, is a high school art teacher in Ohio, married with two small children. Such a lovely girl! It was fun!
Love
Patty
