Hi Jenny! Nixie here with happy tidings. *Smile*

*CakeB* HAPPY Eleventh WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM
"Anniversary Reviews" *CakeP*


I found your name highlighted in the anniversary forum, and it's my pleasure to drop off a review to honor your accomplishments.

Overall Impression
You mentioned that your work was based on real-life experiences, and I related to this in a snap. What is that "Some Thing"? The same happens to me.

A few thoughts
I admired your pluck while reading this. Although the difficulties were discussed, I found some light moments when you stood firm and insisted on making way for your desires. Simply adding updates at the bottom of this piece illustrates dedication.

Doctors can make a mess of anything, and it seems you've been a beneficiary *Rolleyes* of medicines. One time, a doctor prescribed a medicine, and I gained 65! pounds. He should have taken me off those meds.

You stressed taking personal care of one's life, and that is so true. We're numbers in a world of other numbers. We have to decide what's best for ourselves before taking advice from someone else.

Lasting Impression
Another discovery on my part. Some things simply can't be changed. Accepting this truth and allowing oneself to dissuade guilt relieves tremendous burdens.

Even though one may feel judged, the truth is, everyone else is concerned with themselves more than us. We are stories written in someone else's mind. Who knows what they think of us?

It's much easier to continue exercising regularly, rather than stopping and then trying to start again. But life happens. Last year I broke my elbow, and I was laid up for six weeks. How weird that breaking your toe turned into something nastier. I've also had one thing lead to another that thwarts my regimen. Right now, I'm using a ballet work-out that's effectively sculpting my muscles. It's tremendously challenging. I have to push myself to keep on track. This time, the holidays interrupted.

I police my thoughts because what I think about is what happens to me. Ah, that's another discussion.

Happy Anniversary, Jenny! I enjoyed reading your work. It gave me an opportunity to vent some of my own thoughts. Connecting with someone is much more important than linking contests and showing word counts. Opening up and sharing life experiences takes a lot of courage. Your friendly manner was engaging. *Wink*
