WAFs =>Worries, Anxieties, and Fears, are the things that hold many of us back from reaching our full potential, according to a speaker I heard last week.
On Thursday I attended a business event that featured motivational speaker Joy Baldridge. She was so lively and upbeat I got tired watching her. Well, not quite, but she made me feel like I have no energy!
I wrote about her talk for the paper and it was published today. Here's the link.
Now tell those WAFs to take a hike. (If only I could follow my own advice.)

Social engagements : fun but exhausting
We've been busy around here, but it's all good stuff.
On Tuesday Kid One and I attended a graduation for a friend of hers at The Sound School in New Haven, a magnet school located on Long Island Sound. Bill was the last of four student speakers and received a diploma with honors. He is going to major in aquaculture in college. Go Bill! We love ya!
Here is part of the school's gorgeous setting. I had never been there before and was most impressed.
On Friday we attended a lovely wedding. We were glad my mother was able to be with us there. She almost didn't think she would be up to it. But she came and had a good time.
The bride is my cousin's daughter. Does that make her my second cousin? Or first cousin once removed? It was almost an exact replay of her sister's wedding last June: same church, same priest, same inn overlooking New Haven Harbor and Long Island Sound.
I had fun taking a few scenic photos.
I love taking sunset photos.
Got home late and more than a bit partied out. Recuperated for part of Saturday...had to, because Saturday night I attended a surprise Bachelorette Party.
It was a fantastic and emotional gathering of the bride's family and friends, hosted by her sister and four daughters. So many smiles, so many hugs and kisses, so many happy tears. The bride was surprised and quite overwhelmed.
It's the second time around for the bride and groom, who are 69 and 77 respectively. They are a truly wonderful couple. The groom, a widower, just became a great-grandfather for the first time.
Today we have our son's piano recital to look forward to and then, hopefully, a quiet few days until Friday! What's Friday you ask? The Fourth of July and the day our daughter's boyfriend arrives for the weekend.
I'm glad I just got those super vitamins for old people. I'm going to take my first one today with breakfast. I'm going to need something to keep me going..
