A beautiful fall day....

My friend Cindi will be quick to remind me that Fall does not officially start until Monday, but this beautiful weather and the already changing colors of the trees gives me a great sense of peace and calm.

Fall was my dad's favorite season. As I have 'matured'....I too have learned to appreciate it's beauty. The sights...the sounds....the smells.

The sights: The beautiful trees
The sounds: Geese flying in a V formation heading south
The smells: Fried dough at the fair!!!

So I'm going to continue to blog. I may start one under a different title, but I am going to continue to write. I am so pleased to announce (insert horns here) that I have lost a total of 12.2lbs. I am on my way to my first 15 and I'm very excited. I am also relieved because I have not followed the Weight Watchers program since my last procedure which was August 11th. So, this is just more incentive to get on track again and move forward!

So...I know I have reached out to my blog readers with questions in the past. Your replies have brought me opposite ways of thinking, opened my eyes, and at times absolutely confirmed my own feelings.

Todays topic is one that I hope you can provide your feedback on. And, if you would rather email me then post to my blog, my email is dorislachance@metrocast.net.

Q: CAN MEN AND WOMEN TRULY BE 'JUST FRIENDS'? IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE A FRIEND OF THE OPPOSITE SEX WHO YOU ARE NOT SEXUALLY ATTRACTED TO?

Thanks for checking in.

ENJOY THE SEASON!!!!

Hi Doris,
I think that the older you get, the easier it is to see that men and women can be great friends. You usually get a different perspective from your men friends than your women friends.

It was devastating to hear about Pat, I can only imagine how you feel. He faced his illness with faith and a good attitude and he will be a great loss to the District.

Keep in touch!!
