Re: Recipe for disaster??

Hey Marcia Great ideas on your list. I think it is important to let go of some of the
stuff they gets you way too busy and tired. Enjoy your family and your work in moderation and pace yourself as you have said. Jean I am glad I am not the only one that dances around the house. I am always doing ballet (have no idea what I am doing) around the house room to room when classical music is on. My daughter who is a dancer quite cant believe what she is seeing. I have been a medical secretary in many hospitals here in Toronto for 30 years. The last 10 years I have been working for two wonderful women, both family physicians. I have decided to stop working (I know I am very lucky I can do this). I want to spend a lot of time with family, but I will be filling in when staff have sick days and holidays, that way I can still see everyone. I will also be starting soon to volunteer in the chemo unit in one of our hospitals. Its funny now that I am not working I think is there anything I would like to try now. I said to my sister I would love
to be a waitress in one of the laid back diners. she said are you crazy, I said no I just
want to say to someone "kiss my grits" ha ha anyone remember that. love Lois
