Everything was moved out of my old townhouse on Tampa Bay into the new condo on the intercoastal Monday, February 13th. It is within walking distance of the beach. I can't wait to add daily walks along the Gulf to my daily schedule.

Although I still live around boxes yet to be unloaded and put away,I have also managed to recover from some oral surgery that had a bit too much anesthetic and a bout with the flu. I am starting to feel back to my happy, healthy self. Hurray!

Next stop some classes next week and participation in an exciting day of motivation from speakers: This show is so hot it sizzles. America's #1 Motivator, Zig Ziglar, will be joined by this Dynamic Team of Experts:

business and personal success.

Before next week's educational opportunities arise, I have the Strawberry Festival to look forward to this weekend.

I am hoping that by then I will be off my less than terrific diet of scrambled eggs, chicken broth, mashed potatoes, peas, jello, pudding and milkshakes. Not exactly a government approved nutritional pyramid. It may not be the tastiest but it has felt the most comfortable in my fast healing mouth. I imagine if I continued on this diet I would eventually resemble a pyramid. No way - I will soon be back to my jumprope and diet, fitness plan.

I enjoy the Strawberry Festival and hope to be able to splurge and enjoy a dark chocolate covered strawberry. They are my favorite decadent delight, succulent, yummy.

Today I wish I could beam myself up to Murfeesboro, Tennessee to see my beautiful granddaughter, Hope, in a play. I know she is going to be awesome. She is definitely multi-talented as is her brother Noah. He was recently selected to be in a movie. Both are talented in acting, sports and everything they set their minds to accomplish.

Unfortunately, since Star Trek isn't real so I can't beam myself up anywhere. Instead I will go to the Laundromat and when I get home unpack some more boxes. There or not I know Hope will be fantastic.

It is a beautiful day here in St. Petersburg and I am feeling better. I am a very lucky lady. I hope you too have had a nice day and that things are always getting better and better for you.
