We are much warmer than we are supposed to be...

The weather has been fairly warm and perhaps that is why I have been able to use the swimming pool still. Monday I was back in it and it was very toasty at 88 degrees with the air hovering not fair from that, and tomorrow I plan on being also in the warm tub like water once again.
Today was my off day from exercising in the pool. I try for every other day. Hopefully, tomorrow the weather will continue to co-operate for me to have another go at it….What, am I British? Yep, I certainly am on my mother’s side, LOL!

The president did arrive in southwest Florida on time and traveled to Arcadia from the Sarasota airport to the solar power station and we saw him live on the TV tell us of his plans for more of these green machines, clean machines, to make us more environmentally safe for all of our futures. He mentioned the wind power programs already started in Massachusetts, and the hybrid cars being made by GM in Delaware, and his hopes for this all to become the usual not the unusual. And to tell you the truth I totally agree. More jobs will come about with all these new and improved ways to protect the ozone layer from bad emissions, and will lessen our needs to deal with foreign oils. Just the one solar plant alone created 400 jobs in a small, few thousand population town!

I have yet to address that this month has been Breast Cancer Awareness Month, every October is, but I am sure that you all do know that. It is hard to miss all the pink at your local retailers including your groceries, runners clothing and the print media that has been using the ribbon symbol wherever it fits on the pages all of this month! I wish I had stock in the color pink! Good for the Susan G. Komen people for their once again super PSA’s! (Public Service Announcements)
Any-who, I hope all women who read this remember that self examination is a monthly thing, not just yearly, and that all women 40 and over should get their yearly mammograms and that even men get breast cancer though its only 1%, so don’t be shy to tell your doctor about any unusual lumps you may find too!
All women are at risk not just ones with a family member who has had it, but obesity and family genetics does make your risk slightly higher plus being post menopausal and being older. Get the facts by going to good informative sites like: http://ww5.komen.org/
Be selective.

Now I will wish you all a good night and to all count those blessings and I will too!
