Great Weekend

I had a fabulous weekend! Thursday I walked with my good friends in the park. Friday I played poker with friends I've have known for a long time and my ex. My ex has a new girlfriend and is very happy! One day not long ago she thanked me for splitting up our relationship. I don't feel guilty anymore, now that I see she is happy! Maybe I did her a favor! Anyway, I am glad that we are still good friends; she is a good person.

Saturday morning, I helped some gals move, they hang out at the same coffee house I do, and I thought it would be nice to get to know them a little better. I made wonderful discoveries. One is a fabulous artist. I may just have to talk to her about painting a Southwest big picture for over my firplace. We'll have to talk! There was another girl there who is writing a book, I believe about social group and organization. She is already published so this won't be her first. How cool is that! They all had their specials talents and specialities. I think that is what makes people so interesting. All the gals were very welcoming! They are very nice and I am so glad that I offered to help.

I love doing things with a lot of different people and on Saturday evening, I accepted an invitiation and had dinner with Pat and his (and mine, now) friends. We all belong to the same walk/run group. Pat is a wonderful cajun cook; the pork tenderloin was excellent and the company superb!

Sunday afternoon I fortunate enough to get invited to a BBQ, so I drank a couple of beers, enjoyed good company, and ate the most delicious steak. We wrapped it up with a viewing of the L-Word. What a great group of gals I met this past summer. One was missing; however, I would have liked to have seen her!

I had a hearty appetite because I ran 10.66 miles this morning in one hour and 55 minutes. I know that is dreadfully slow; I always think that I can work in increasing my pace later, but later never comes. It felt good to run though, and I think that I actually got a runner's high for a change. It was beautiful cool day with low humidity and that is diffinitely a plus! I felt my right knee just a bit on the way back, but not too bad! I take every supplement I can find for connective tissue, cartilage and bone. It all seems to help! I am blessed with good health and I am grateful!

I'm very fortunate to know so many wonderful, educated and talented people! They all are very special and talented in their own way . Life just doesn't get any better than that!
