Happy Hour Chatter

Lunchtime musings of a working superwoman: #1: The best place to see people (you haven't seen in awhile) is in the grocery store or liquor store right before a holiday #2: when talking about a holiday feast, everyone has that One dish they look forward to having. #3: prepare for the feast the night before -rummage through your dressers for the stretchy pants #4: remember, wine is meant to compliment the meal, not BE the meal #5: If you don't get along with family, forget #4! #6: eat wisely, go for the pumpkin pie first! #7: to keep your guests in good spirits, steer clear of politics and religion at the dinner table #8: if #7 fails, fall back on #5! #9 find time to exercise after the meal....exercise your right to a nap #10 remember to give Thanks, for family, friends, the gift of health and life, the abundance in which we live, and to always pray for those who may be experiencing hardships in their life and not be as fortunate as yourself.  Happy Thanksgiving to All

Disclaimer:  I'm angry and this is my avenue to vent.  If you have opposing views, I'll listen to them, but I will NOT debate them - not on my  platform.   So if you're looking for a fight, you will not find one here.   My empathic mind and heart is on overload this morning.    It's a good thing I'll be headed to teach yoga in a little bit.   The rest of the day is going to be spent in solitude listing to music, exercising, cleaning and reading.    I'm going on a social media detox for the net 24 hours because I cannot take in much more of the craziness.  The presidency campaign and election has brought out so much hate and anger - friend against friend, neighbor against neighbor, family against neighbor - it's been so sad to witness.  I've wrote about it before, there seems to be no tolerance for anyone who has opposing views.  There is no healthy discussion on topics; the easy route is to impose your opi...
