Jacqueline's Journal ~ Dancing in the Street

Terrell, Me & Judy

I'm having a great time in the Bay Area. The weather has been gorgeous everyday since I arrived so I'm really enjoying all the sunshine. The past few days I've just been hanging out with my friend, Judy. We've been walking everyday because both of us want to look our best for the wedding this Sunday. I gained a few pounds before arrival and am doing my best to shed them. My dress has no room for extras!. I've reduced the calorie intake and cut out the wine (the hardest part) but it's hard. I'm on vacation! 

Judy, Frank & Me

Today was the ultimate test. We met friends in Walnut Creek for an outdoor a concert. Thank God my friend Terrell brought fresh fruit. That helped reduce the temptation to eat a burger & fries.

The concert was so so. Rock & Roll is not quite my thing. I'm more of a R&B kinda girl! It was fun watching all the people dance to songs from the Beatles, however. I also ran into an old friend, Frank, that I haven't seen in years & years.

Party Over Here

Getting together with old friends is great. It's hard to believe I've known the one's in the pictures as long as I have. I met two new friends (not pictured), Jan and Al. It turned out that we knew a lot of people in common.  Al grew up in the same neighborhood even though I didn't know him then. I'm now invited to he and Jan's 40th wedding anniversary party. Can't wait to see who I might run into there. 

Enjoying life is a major part of self-care. There are actually health benefits to having and maintaining a social network. 

Self care = Self-love.

Together we thrive,

Jacqueline
