WOMAN TO WOMAN

Well I am all around ideas on my blog. Wanting to be eclectic and yet at the same time have a theme. My theme is woman to woman. I am a very strong woman and I am proud of myself, where I have come from  and what I can do. My theme covers, family, depression, menopause,addiction, children,building a home, ranching, caring for elderly parents,poetry, animals,learning to live on a as little as possible, gardening, dreams, inspiration,art and creativity.I guess when I look at  all of this, it is covered by woman to woman. Health and diet.Prison, having loved ones in prison. Foster care. What I want is open discussions about these things. Some one writing in and saying what about this or have you ever thought about doing that.I am a very intelligent, creative person and I love men, (most especially a couple of them!) Write to me about your wife, how you love her. What is it about her that is special. My title an answer 2, means to me, an answer, to living life with out effort. With out thought or passion.In other words put some effort in and some direction and make a lifestyle happen that is rewarding. That will give your children some sense of value of their own. Teach them to be strong healthy and happy. Teach them to care for the earth. Teach them that nothing from addiction to prison should define them. Let us continually define ourselves no matter how old we are. Then you just keep fine tuning. Polish comes in time. So many people let bad things that happen define them. They forever handicap themselves with a bad childhood, or marriage etc. Recreate yourself is what I say. I have experienced it all and I deal with my problems every day, but they do not tell the world or myself who I am or what I am capable of. I do that.   Diet. I am really struggling with that. I have been dieting for five months right now. I have lost ten pounds  to date. Two weeks ago I had lost fifteen. I hate being fat. But even if I end up that way, there are worse things. I was very slim all my life, (by comparison) Then at forty three I had in vetro fertilisation and was pregnant with triplets. At eight months I lost one of the babies, delivered via cesarean, twins. But I never lost all of the weight. Then I went on cymbalta and I gained twenty pounds. I used to smoke years ago, I quit and gained twenty pounds. So here I am today fat and happy. Except when I am not,ha ha. I am happier in the last ten years than I ever have been in my life. I am all over the page with this I know, but I am hoping to spark an interest here or there that might come in and leave a comment, or as I said open up a dialog.for now I guess that is my morning rant. Hope you get something out of it.
