CarminaFortuna

was the best thing I ever did. I moved from near the same area about 23 years ago, and I never looked back. No more snow, no more ice. The spring and fall months are what we all move here for… 70 or so on average and blue skies and everything’s green. Of course, overcast and brown when everything dies for the winter, or lush green and nearly unbearable humidity in the summer, but still worth it! Go for it! I moved with a suitcase, and I’ve been here since then… that is, the west coast of FL. Wonderful! Come join us! And if you want to add outdoor exercise to your diet program, there’s no cold weather to hold you back!

It took me over a year, but I have been exercising a lot and dieting somewhat… and enjoying life much more. I feel better and look better, although older since the skin takes a while to catch up. Oh,well. I am loads healthier!

rather than in theory. It’s pretty easy to be a good friend from a distance by e-mail, even though I am phone-phobic at home. And I avoid socializing by declining perfectly good invitations most of the time. I really want to be better at inviting friends or coworkers to share my time or by accepting their invitations. I do write letters, send cards, write e-mails. Just wish I could be better at the face-to-face thing because I like spending so much time alone. Maybe I’ll get better at socializing when I don’t have to spend so much time faking it with nasty customers. My coworkers are a dream to work with, nearly all of them. Yet, I still feel the need to withdraw and regroup in the middle of the day sometimes. And by evening, I’m totally wiped out and don’t want to see anyone. Good thing for e-mails with no video in that case. And then there’s neighbors… The ones I on my south side side now are in their backyard with the stereo volume at full blast. Hard to socialize or be pleasant with their door slamming so loudly that my entire house feels like a shock wave hit it each time, and I jump a mile each time. No, here in sunny, beautiful Florida, I hibernate in the house instead of socializing. So I guess I mean I want to be a better friend to my chosen friends, rather than just anyone in general, although I do love humanity in theory.
