I know from being on this board for many years that there are always a bunch of people reading who don't necessarily post. Some of those are folks we don't know because they've never (or rarely) posted and some are regulars from the past who don't post anymore (or as much).
So...here's a shout-out to all of you! Now it's your chance to hit the reply button and at least say hi! Hi only takes a few seconds.

Within the past few months, I needed to FLY badly and Denise wasn't available, and I had the thought "I'll ask Judy." because she was always good about supporting me when I needed to FLY and no one else was available. And then I realized...no, I can't ask Judy.

Hi everyone! I actually hit the reply button. It happens occasionally. Judy really is missed. I don't think she knew how much of an encouragement she was to me. Things are going smooth at the moment. DS hasn't had a siezure for a whole year. He is now on meds for ADHD. That was a very difficult decision. It was a good one for him. My mom had some major issues going on for about 6 months, but now she is on the mend. I am always coming on here. I have come close to posting a few times. I will try to post more.
i miss how judy would start her threads with such enthusiasm!
i do check every day. i have not been posting because not too much has changed. i think i will start teaching fitness again in july to try to earn extra income, and i took on one personal training client. i feel blessed to be able to do what i love and get paid for it.
i have been trying to swim more in the summer. i really love the water, especially in north carolina HEAT! i just came back from mexico, and gosh, i love having clean water available to me, and screens on my window.
Goals: 1. Enjoy life! 2. Be aware, be awake, pay attention. 3. One word 2010: faith

Nothing much is going on here and I'm kind of in a rut. Work bores me, all the daily stuff bores me, foodwise I'm not as healthy as I would like... but at least it's summer.

That's funny, Linda -- this thread got me thinking about BrenauMom. She was always starting new threads and commenting on existing ones, so there seemed to be more new stuff to read when I checked in. Maybe that's why the board seems slower somehow. I miss Judy!
Sometime lurker here - unless you start in about books.
I had a strange, but understandable experience this afternoon. One of my good friends here, in Urbana, was talking about going to Atlanta to visit her son and family before he ships out overseas. We have this discussion (he doesn't ship out every year, though) and I always think I can go and finally meet Judy. Then it hit me. No I can't. I was unnerved and weepy.
I am regenerating from the census job that had me so stressed, I had a stress test and then sent to a cardiologist. All is okay and no more symptoms since I've been unemployed.
Yes, I've been checking in regularly, but not posting much. My focus has been on healing after surgery (seven weeks ago tomorrow) and my progress has been really good. I'm pretty much back to my regular workout schedule (even did some assisted pull-ups today!) but not rowing yet. Still a little afraid of lifting the boat over my head. I do plan to rejoin the team soon, though.
I'm also facing one more surgery -- much less scary this time. I had immediate reconstruction during the first procedure and I've had a temporary implant in place to stretch my skin and prepare the pectoral muscle pocket for the permanent one. We'll be making the swap some time in August. In the meantime, just enjoying the summer and hoping no one notices how lopsided I am. The implant side looks 27, while the real one still looks 47.
