hand hold time

I was in a nasty mood the other day.  Really brutally nasty.  I ended up always feeling this way I guess when fall begins which is a result  of thinking out of time.

I keep thinking let's go to the beach soon, it is almost that time of the year....oh yeah...
Let's shop for christmas presents, woah, hang on a minute.

My body clock gets out of sinc and it makes me cranky.

I have a hard time being right here in early fall.

I lost my cool with my nearest and dearest and they rallied.

My husband held my hand.
My kids and I went swimming and we dove and ducked and made up games and we came out fresh.

The pacing changes, the clock has not yet been set back.

Let's tell time with light and fingers.

Thanks to both,  a reckoning came to be.  Mary Beth Williams' candid advice was to get your heart stronger because you never know when you are going to need it.  She herself has been receiving treatment for lung cancer. Dr Mike Evans' way of putting the exact same thing? "Try to limit your sitting time to 23 1/2 hours a day".   In my day job, I sit a lot. I occasionally rise to retrieve something from the photocopier or to make a coffee, but an awful lot of the time, I'm on my bum.  This is in steep contrast to my night job. At the end of the work day, occasionally in the middle, I have to burst out of the doo
