Birthday: April 23

Title: The Matriarch

Bio: Just been writing forever and I always thought I was a better writer than I am but no matter, I write. Never thought I could paint but I love it so I do. Dancing and writing and painting fill me up. Some people think my kids are the most interesting part of me, and pretty much so did I until my late sixties. Now, I'M the most interesting part. I crack myself up! And I don't care so much whether I'm a great writer or artist or dancer or not, just so I do what I need to do - which is keep on writing and painting and dancing and living. To life! is my motto.

Today is the two year anniversary of my heart attack. The top picture is at the Parthenon last December. The bottom picture is at the Hermitage a little more than two years ago, before I had the HA.

At the Parthenon Before the HA

You'll notice my son-in-law hasn't changed a bit - but I've lost 85 pounds. If you want to know how I did it, check out KaySheppard.com

You look terrific. Good for you. I've taken up Zumba and yoga in my old age. I recommend both. The Zumba is fun, and the yoga is, well, good for you, especially if you hang around your computer a lot.'

Good luck!

Thanks BFN,

I do NIA, aquablast, which is a cardio workout in warm water, and swim laps - but I've done both yoga and Zumba - when I figure out how to be retired, I'll probably add both back in, at least as alternative.
