I hope that you all have been smart enough to be contemplating this week's topic even though the post is coming in at the end instead of the beginning?

If so, you have been examining your social life, and reading up on what our membership has had to say about it in the years past. The only thing I will add this year is that social skills are essential for a balanced and fulfilling life. Get to know your neighbors. Show some interest in the world and take up some new activities. LIVE some, yes?

For those who are about to finish strong and have stuck with it all throughout the 60 days, I hope you have laid the foundations of a New You. Change is hard, and it doesn't come right away. As I said at the beginning, you learned bad habits slowly, so you can learn good ones too. Consistency and reinforcement are the keys.

If you fell off the wagon, don't despair. The most important thing is to get back on the wagon, and try to stay on it longer this time. Get back to the good habits, and don't worry if you fell back into the old a little.

Summer is here, and I hope you all will stride into the unknown that this year holds for us with a sense of purpose, a sense of confidence, and a sense of joy for being alive.

See ya next time.
