Left behind after ten years

Two cats? Seems we do have a lot in common! Background on my sitch: they are my cats. xBF always played some with them but mostly they are my responsibility. All of a sudden he really wanted to see them and spend time with them. Yeah, right. So yes, your W may do the same thing.

Yep, everyone says working out is their GAL activity but I don't buy it because it's not really something most people enjoy doing. They like the results it generates but don't really enjoy the activity itself unless it's something like training for a marathon or playing basketball, some specific activity. Hey, I started walking four miles a day but I don't think of it as GAL. I think of it as getting my big lazy butt off the couch and getting healthy. Now my dance classes are GAL activities.

I totally hear you on reconnecting with friends. Facebook has been a godsend these past six months. It brought me back in touch with friends who knew me way back when and that is the person I liked being. It's good to talk to people who remember you that way because it's easier to think of yourself that way. Also, I have a college friend who lives a mile down the road from me. We got together a few times before the bomb but now we do something every week, sometimes twice a week.

So what are other ideas for GAL activities? Is there an old hobby you haven't done in a long time? Something you've always wanted to try? Something you never thought you'd try?

And I'm serious about watching that movie. It will really make you smile and get you wanting to try new things.
