I guess everyone is busy these days. I started addressing my Christmas cards a few days ago. Yes, it's early, but I can be slow as a turtle, so I start early. I'm also getting out my winter clothes, putting away summer clothes, and cleaning out my garden as well. No time to be bored; that's for sure!

A couple of months ago, I decided to go gluten free. My doctor had suggested it occasionally--more like a "give it a try and see what happens" kind of thing.

It's a lot of work and takes a lot of concentration, reading labels and researching food products online. At first, too, I got so tired! It later dawned on me that it could be related to going GF. I did some searching and sure enough, others had the same issue.

The fatigue seems to be gone now, and I'm feeling so much better in general. I only hope it continues! From what I've read, going GF can also help neuro issues. I sure hope that is true, but who knows for sure? I think going GF and whether or not it helps can just depend on the individual person. I would guess it's not for everyone.

I hope everyone is feeling okay. Best wishes to all! smile

I know it’s quiet but maybe the reason is our administrator is updating the forum. He is working glitches out and redesigning the pages so maybe some are having a problem getting on. I did try out the new design for our posting when I posted to Puppylover yesterday and I really liked it! The printing is larger which is great for me. I need to wear magnifying glasses for our print right now.

We did hit 3 million posts either last week or the week before so that’s a great milestone! HealingWell will soon be coming out with all the great changes and we will probably end up with more traffic and more people to help. Stay tuned!

Hi Lj: We seem to be stuck on "cool and damp" here. Have not seen any snowflakes in the air yet, and I hope they hold off for a long while. The good part is that I'm getting more inside work done. smile

I will keep you posted on the GF, especially any changes from now. So far, so good. I went to a thrift store and found a few GF cookbooks, so that was helpful.

Thanks for the update on the update, Sherrine! Good to know. I sure agree about the larger print. I seem to need that every couple of years or so. The changes sound very positive and something to look forward to, too. Cool! smile

Hello all. I've been popping in and out some lately, and I have noticed the slow down. Hopefully with the new format (the home page looks really nice) things will pick up.

It has been hot, hot, hot, where I live. The temp is hovering around 90 with an even higher heat index. That combined with the ragweed/mold has made for a miserable couple of weeks. I'm very much looking forward to cooler weather. But I will probably be back to complain when it's 20 degrees and frigid. :D

Hope everyone has a good week.

Hi, all. I've had a month of not doing much but sleeping. A virus hit and went into a sinus infection which of course messes with fibro. A cortisone shot later and antibiotics and I'm feeling somewhat better.

I love fall and it seems to have hit our area. Cooler temps and lots of rain at the moment. All's good, though for us anyway. Prayers for those that may get impacted by Hurricane Michael. It's been a strange year weather wise.

There is plenty to do and I need to get started. I've actually started a bit of my Christmas shopping but it was because I just happened to see something that was right for a few people. Now, to stash the gifts where I will remember. LOL

Im so glad you are feeling better, Lendi! What a way to spend the end of summer! But now you can enjoy the fall weather.

As far as Christmas gifts go, make a list of where you hide them. That’s a must! I buy Christmas gifts throughout the year so I don’t have to do a lot of shopping at one time plus it’s easier on my budget. I write down what I bought and for whom and where I hid it. I keep my list in my top dresser drawer...hidden by objects in the drawer. If I don’t do that, I’m tearing the house apart looking for the things I bought. 🤷‍♂️
