Newman, to me, this is about "negatives" and "positives" and balance in one's life! I don't see anything wrong with a thread where one can dump or unload. I think that is a good thing. But, I also think the thread for positive things in life is just as important!

I am talking about balance here, Newman. Think about the negatives in your life, analyze them, ponder them, learn from them. But not 24/7!

Make time for the positives, even if they are teeny, tiny little positives. Dwell on them for a while. Ponder them, learn from them, analyze them. Just don't leave them out of your life!

I have a feeling if you had more balance in your life, you would be a much happier person, Newman. I truly do!

If you would like to know more about my thoughts on this, let me know. I am just waking up at the moment and I need to collect my thoughts..the brain is exactly awake yet!

I say, eat a banana. It's a fun fruit and can make one feel good. How can a bright yellow fruit with the name BANANA not be positive?

I must say that I am thoroughly enjoying this thread. There have been so many interesting comments and perspectives. It is a thread where I enjoy going back through and re-reading many of the posts just to try to absorb what everyone has said.

Newman,

Costa and I are thinking about starting a "Pay It Forward" thread. If we do, I hope you will check it out, along with others. I learned about the idea from her and I totally fell in love with it!

Costa,

Got any thoughts or comments you would like to share here re: pay it forward? (Sorry, kitty on lap..hard to type at the moment)

Baby, that's a nice idea! Why don't you go ahead and start that thread so any discussion/ideas will take place there, since it's a bit different topic than this thread. That way we can keep this one on track.

I was reading through the thread and wanted to let Dogdoc know that I would let her know when Nicholas Cage gets a divorce right after he marries me.

Thanks Karuuna,

I am thinking about the new thread. I just wanted to put my two cents in here about the idea of the "Pay It Forward" thread. It's not really about the thread, itself.

I am just trying to get across the idea of give and take, positives and negatives, doing "feel good" type of things compared to doing nothing. To me, the idea fits in with baby boomers feeling negatively about themselves and/or their lives.

Baby, I'd still suggest you start it separately. From experience, once these things take off, they tend to take over an existing thread. :-)

Oh, Karuuna, I plan on it. Sorry, if I was confusing others. It wasn't my intention to put anything more about a "pay it forward" thread here.

I was just trying to throw the idea out about how doing positive things can make a big difference in one's life and the lives of others and therefore, make them happier with their own lives. And I thought mentioning the "pay it forward" idea (not anything to do with the thread, itself) would be a good thing for some to ponder on. It might help them look at their lives differently and feel better about being baby boomers and all that goes with that..sorry!

I promise, girl scout's honor, I shan't mention another word about it!

Native Texan, Nicholas Cage is mine. I have been waiting for him for a long time. He was so nice in Guarding Tess.I don't know what he sees in those other women. You could have him after me if I get tired of him. (won't happen).

You know Dogdoc and NativeTexan, you could share I am sure Mr. Cage is man enough to handle both of you.

Allright, I got an honest to goodness .."babyboomer,living alone,changes" question. Can I ask a question here?? I want to know, how do you meet thease guys..I dont like bars,I dont go to church, Im mostly a homebody. But I do run into some real sweet guys at the grocery store,vidio store, walking in the park, Im a chatterbox, and will talk a storm up with strangers, and I usually feel its mutual. I met a guy in the grocery store a week ago and we talked over the ournges for quite awhile.. then had eye contact threw out the store, he was in the checkout line next to mine, and we continued our conversation, I totally enjoyed this exchange and could tell he did as well...but grocerys baged, and his was done befor mine..waa, and he turned and winked and a little wave as he walked out,looking over his shoulder as to check if I was still looking, "I was" and I threw him a smile... Allright, here is my Question, How could I have made that cituation happen again.. does a girl give out her number, I am to shy to do that, and I relized that Men have a really hard task to do that as well. Im pritty sure I would have felt so awkward to give mine out, "what if hes married,what if hes not" maybe hes kicking him self too....My daughter said to shop at that store more..... Im over that one cituation, but from you men out there...when is it right to approuch someone, is that to forward?? or do guys like that?? allright, does any one else have this problem, one fleeting moment of a heart pounding high only to see it walk away and never know if it could have been somthing or not...

Chewpito, back when I was "looking" I went at a Tae Kwon Do school and took karate for 12 years. I was in my forties then and although I was not great at it it was good exercise. The men outnumbered the women and they were all nice. You get to meet men who are athletic and willing to work at accomplishng goals. I had a great time.

Now there's an idea. It's not aerobic is it? You could still learn with breathing issues?

Sparring is aerobic and some of the kids had to use inhalers. Most of it is learning forms and self defense. We would go to competitions with near-by schools. Testing to go to the next belt
was a learning experience.
