I think part of that is your joining the hiking group.<br /><br /> I find myself a little envious of you. In Minnesota, where I lived for 38 years, I had many friends. Here in Missouri I don't. That my fault really because I haven't volunteered or joined any group since coming here five years ago. I find myself making the choice to write instead of join. <br /><br />I volunteered in Minnesota for most of my time there and I've decided not to do that again, but I could join a group of like-minded people. I could; but I don't. Instead, I've become somewhat of a recluse. <br /><br />Maybe that's what this last part of my life is to teach me--to be in the moment of solitude. All I know is that life is good.

And yes, there have been times when I've over-eaten and still gotten up hungry. Art can't understand it. When he overeats, he's not hungry for a long time which is probably why he's thinner than I am.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461569436322815787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-16281389815129632672014-09-22T11:43:49.768-07:002014-09-22T11:43:49.768-07:00That sunset is just the best.

At first, I couldn't see a hat on Jonelle's head but when I squinted and leaned in, there it was, after all. She comes up with good themes. <br /><br />What a wonderful sunset view.. that vivid orange is probably stimulated your appetite. ;) But yes, I wake up very hungry if I eat later than usual the night before. I'm not sure if that applies to what you mean.. but similar concept, I think. <br /><br />Thanks for another fun post.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-73902011167811905582014-09-21T10:38:52.644-07:002014-09-21T10:38:52.644-07:00Yes, I do find that when I overeat I have a hard t...Yes, I do find that when I overeat I have a hard time filling up later.
