Wow, Kirie, great stats for June. I agree, Darrelyn’s comment makes me want to walk and walk and walk…

: )

Thanks for the posts about comfortable clothes. And everything else in this wonderful saga, everyone! I find soft organic cottons that fit nicely (not baggy but not tight) work best for me. But my mother always said to dress up for going out, and I try to do that – minus heels, though. Won’t do that to myself any more! I love Darrelyn’s post about walking until her feet blister. I keep track of my walking, yoga, and meditation as well as my writing and submissions. In June, I walked/hiked 44 times in 30 days! Writing earned a count of 22. It’s easier for me to walk for miles because I’m in the moment. Walking a few stairs up to my study overlooking Dabob Bay – well, that’s more of a challenge.

Thanks, Cynthia 🙂 It’s the thyroid, but not for another month : /

Obvioulsy, I just love the whole idea of doing something like a book for a theme 😀 I’ll have to start thinking about this for when the time comes with my daughter-in-law!

Donna! Great to hear from you. The baby shower was precious–with wild things everywhere! And a copy of the book for guests to sign and Max cut-outs on the glasses. Best of luck with your surgery and speedy recovery!

I like black, simple lines, no frills and no fuss–casual not fancy. Jeans and jackets. And boots. Short, loose dresses for summer with flat sandals. No pointy heels. Comfortable but not sack-ish. And I’m going to work on translating THAT into real life. Thanks for the inspiration, Miss F.

Sarah, I, on the other hand, live in a very social community. And yes I am finally taking the time to know myself…

Darrelyn, what a wonderfully peaceful comment. Thanks so much for taking the time to write it up here–you should post on your blog too, with a picture of you in a hat : ) I’m jealous of all the walking (even the blisters) and all the thinking. This is where I want to get to: “And when I do accept an invitation, I’ll wear whatever I want.” Good for you. I also wanted to say that your writing here reminded me so much of my all-time-fav Ellen Gilchrist. Also also, you would have loved this shower with all of its Wild Things–on the food table there was a watermelon boat complete with sail and a tiny blackboard reading “I’m going to eat you up!”

I love the theme of her baby shower, and I definitely prefer “comfortable” 🙂
