I Feel Good!

Can you hear James Brown in the background?

I knew that I would now!

An unusual thing, at least I think it is, keeps happening to me. I had thought about blogging about it but hadn't, and then my friend Lou, one of the blog readers and a friend since elementary school possibly even kindergarten, told me it was happening to her.

People seem to wonder if we're sick.

Seriously.

I get asked all the time - how much weight have you lost? Did you mean to? Are you OK? Are you sure?

Her conclusion is that it is an age thing. If we were younger, folks would probably just congratulate us and move on, but since we're over 40 ....

It is just funny, though, because we're healthier than we've been in years. (She recently tried gluten-free living and dropped about 12 pounds I think she said, in a fairly short amount of time.) We both feel better than we have in a long time. And things are good. I recently wore a dress to work that was my traveling dress when I got married.

For those going to check the calendar, that dress is over 20 years old. But it fit like a dream and because I tend to spend my money on classic pieces over trendy stuff, it didn't look like it was 20 years old.

So, I'm in better shape than I've been in for years. Healthier. Able to do more. All that stuff.

And still you get asked the same question - Are you OK? You aren't sick are you?

All I can do is smile and say No.
