For all of the reasons noted above and in your original article~ It gets me down. (Especially in a political year...) Are you familiar with Pinterest? Not that you need another online timesuck, but it is much more fun - less self-centered - more about visual sharing and LOTS of artistic, design, crafting stuff, homemaking ideas...

Why such a difficult question? I have two issues: (1) a flabby thingy that sits/hangs just above my Cesarean scar. (2) that darn middle-age weight gain. I could swear it came on overnight. Oh Cindy, Cindy, Cindy. Why such a difficult question?

I have two issues:

(1) a flabby thingy that sits/hangs just above my Cesarean scar.

(2) that darn middle-age weight gain. I could swear it came on overnight.

I am unfortunately a very vain and negative person about my body and it feels like such a burden sometimes since the rest of my spirit can soar. My weight gain issue since I hit 45 is so distressing to me and yet I can't seem to do a thing about it. No discipline. Sigh. And I could try Blog Her and kudos to you for doing so. I respect them tremendously but having trouble with the one more process of opening up one more site issue. I'm sure I'll get there again. Have done it in the past.. look for me!

You're so right about keeping your hands busy during an emotional crisis or bad news. I tend to ruminate, and having an art project is so therapeutic. It also helps writer's block!

Just last night I went to work on a project after hearing some distubing news. Keeping my hands busy, and digging in my button jar really helped. I love your pieces, so well put together.
