Trivia and coincidence seems to fascinate most people

With that said, tonight’s blog is going to mention some interesting to me coincidences.

Today, on the anniversary of the death of Princess Diana; and also today would have been my brother's 81st birthday.
The coincidence or what have you is that Diana was born on July 1, 1961 and I was born on July 1 as well, but not the same year. Now many will think that's ridiculous, but to me it is an interesting twist of fate. Here I am a not too healthy woman in her golden years and Diana was in her prime and well and suddenly is killed in a horrific accident, at way too young an age. My brother, on the other hand who lived to an age of approximately 70+ a few years, which here is considered a fairly decent life span, the Princess was only 36. Does this seem fair?

I know that life is not fair, I can hear you all screaming at me! Stop that!
Kidding, but one must admit that is an interesting tidbit of trivia for me.
We all miss Princess Di. And I think it's important that her sons know exactly how much she meant to us as a world.
She was giving and caring and honest about all that she did.
For such a young woman she touched so many people, with her kindness and gentle demeanor. Her sons should know this about a woman, called mother who was loved by the world in her short existence. Not many know people of this quality and although I did not know her personally and her being younger than me she was someone to look up to and try and emulate. She set into motion a world where women knew that they could do anything and still be kind and decent while doing it.
The world will have a long wait until there is anyone at all like her.

Moving on…
I am still a beginner at this Dragon program that I am still not there yet.
Well, I played hooky today from learning more about the program.
I received a phone call about the trial for that new medicine that I was going to get involved in, but sadly I finally got on the scale and told the nurse my weight. My worst fear has happened I gained more than I ever, ever weighed in my entire life, even more than when I was expecting our sons. And now I am out of the trial due to being 8 pounds too fat bringing my BMI over the limit.
Am I to be a failure in all my current ventures? I sure hope not.
I would exercise but as you know if I get overheated I end up on IV steroids, which just causes me to gain more weight ironically.
I challenge my readership to help me to figure out what I can do. The heat is my enemy; since I have to wear cooling vest over 80°. I already eat healthy foods, lean meat, fish, chicken, fresh vegetables and fruits, also low-fat or no fat dairy products, whole-grains with portion control.
My medications are too many, I need my 18 pills and one shot a day to keep me going health-wise, and due to them I have the metabolism of a sloth.
Someone, out there has to have some type of idea.
Oh, and yoga is out; since when I was in healthier times I took it for two years, but now with spondylosis and cervical stenosis, twisting is no good. PS: remember that I am an Aquacize instructor and with weather permitting I still do range of motion exercises in the pool, except they do not help in losing weight.
HELP! PLEASE! Please!
And thanks for listening or reading.

So on topics that are interesting to many or were just to me, allow me the first to wish you a very happy good night and ask you kindly to count all your blessings and share those overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
