Today is the February edition of Share 4 Somethings, where we're talking about some things we loved or disliked, accomplished, improved upon or something that needs improvement, and noticed this month. I hope you make plans to join Jennifer and the rest of us! Link-up here. It's always the last Saturday of every month.
Loved - We had Olive Garden yesterday for lunch and I enjoyed that. I'm still loving the books I'm reading. I've started another series by the same author and it takes place during the time of the King Saul. I haven't actually started reading it yet, but I checked it out through Libby. I need to finish another book I have first. It shouldn't take too long.
Improved - We've improved some of our eating habits. We're eating more salads at home and I'm really enjoying that. I've also enjoyed some Cobb salads when we've gone out for lunch. Wendy's has a really good Cobb salad and so does Outback. I'm eating more fish too. He kept telling me to eat salmon. I said I don't like salmon, how about other fish. He said all fish is good except not Long John Silvers. lol We still need to do better, but I think it's not a bad start.
Noticed - I'm noticing more and more that getting old is definitely not for sissies. Seems like so many people I know are fighting health issues of some kind. Whether it's hip replacements, knee replacements, heart issues, cancer, etc. While I know you don't have to be old to need these things, I think recovery is a little harder for the elderly. But even though getting older is not easy, I'm so glad to be alive and I think I appreciate that fact more every day. I no longer just take life for granted.
Thanks for visiting. What have you loved, accomplished, improved or noticed in February?

Cathy, thanks for the gentle nudge to look for a good salad when we're out and about!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. My doctor did a good job of "nudging" me.
DeleteI also try to eat a salad most every day for lunch. Some days I get tired of salad and have a sandwich, but yesterday it was a chicken salad sandwich! Does that count? LOL. I would like to eat more fish, but I don't like to cook it and it is too expensive to go out to eat it. I should make myself start adding that to our weekly menu somehow...but not fried! it kind of defeats the purpose if it is fried! LOL. Doesn't it feel good to get that yard work done? We also hired some fellas to clean up some areas around our property too. It looks a lot better, but it will grow back so fast. I hope we can manage it a little better now that it's cleaned up. Yes, getting older is not for sissies! I know it seems like I have a new ache or pain every day. Especially because I don't get out and do the work in the yard like I used to, and then when I do try to do something I really suffer for it. So we choose to suffer in our pocketbook by paying someone else to do it. LOL. Have a lovely weekend. I enjoyed your post!
ReplyDeleteYes, I think chicken salad counts! lol
DeleteI bet that feels great to have the yardwork done. It will look so good come spring. I think nearly all of mentioned eating better in some form or another!
ReplyDeleteI truly believe the answer is moderation in all and also to eat lots of salad! lol
DeleteIt is always so nice to get a big job done! You are right, it does seem like an awful lot of folks are facing health issues these days...and not just the older people. I know a lot of younger ones getting all these "bugs" floating around this winter and they can't seem to shake them.
ReplyDeleteIt has been bad this year. I feel so blessed we've stayed mostly well.
DeleteI think tree maintenance folk are worth their weight in gold!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't always a fan of salad, but try and have one for lunch 4-5 times a week. So refreshing!
I'm liking them pretty well right now.
DeleteI enjoyed your list!! I'm trying to eat better as well. Some days I blow it but most days I do better. I've lost four pounds without trying too hard. Yay! I enjoyed visiting here today!
ReplyDeleteYay! 4 lbs is great!
DeleteI have Voice of the Ancient on my to-read stack as well and although you wouldn't know it by how long it's taking me to get started, I'm really excited about it! I love Cossette's books! We've been trying to eat better too, and it's becoming easier to make the good choices.
ReplyDeleteI've been enjoying her books a lot!
DeleteI haven't even started thinking about working in the yard, sigh. So much to do, so little time. I have never read Connilyn Cossette's books, but have seen them around. Have a great month, stopping by from Share Four Somethings.
ReplyDeleteGood for you on eating better. I know I've been trying but I do need to add more salmon to my diet. I have high cholesterol and the statins don't agree with me so I'm hoping to lower it myself. Believe me I can relate to what you said about getting old.
ReplyDeleteAll fish except Long John Silvers...that's a good one! Hooray for healthy eating. It makes such a difference, doesn't it?? Hope you are having a good week!
ReplyDeleteCathy, I enjoyed hearing about your 4 Somethings. I'm sure it's a relief having had your bushes cut back.
