That was my thought yesterday when I read your post. Well, the first time I read it as SCARED spaces, which the bowling alley might be for me. When I read it correctly, my answer was..well, within me usually. I live in a small place without much room to claim as "sacred". The time I take to go inside seems to grant me the most peace, serenity, and comfort. I believe walks outside do that for me as well. I do not really care where I walk. I just love the feeling of walking and being with my thoughts.

One a bowling note: I think 113 may be my highest score. LOL. I tend to get worse as I play.

🤞Meaty platelets in abundance!

Ooooh! Thank you for your share Billie! ♥️

I love walking, too! Maybe one day we can bowl together! 😁

Yes! May platelet production proliferate!

A dear friend once described her start to a new day: “I start off slow then I taper off!”

T-shirt: “Know what’s cheaper than therapy? Admitting you’re batshit crazy and running with it.” 😁

But bowling and softball might be acceptable as well. 😉

I was a valuable member of my intramural softball team in college. I kept impeccable stats, made sure players knew when they were up, and did other things to support our coach. <insert patting-self-on-back emoji> But sometimes I had to actually go out into the field, and things would go badly. 😢 Sometimes, very badly. 😩 Your mileage may vary.

If past experience is a true indicator, my best bet is pick-up for-fun-only games with friends.

I do miss tossing a ball with the kid and Mara.

Psssst! I could ship our feral, neutered male cat to you! He is a fetching maniac! His favorite fetchable is the seal from the top of a milk carton. You can keep him as long as you like. He might even induce Henny to fetch. 🤔🤔🤔 on second thought...

I’d welcome Buster… or any cat, but allergies for others in our house say, “No thanks!”

If Henny regarded him as a bunny he might have a very short half life! Saved by the allergies...

Does flax seed oil work with some sugar? Honey? No, not being cheeky. 😂

After a tumble in gym class that broke both of my radii (as in two radiuses), my basketball career came to a screeching halt. Just as well, I was pretty far removed from being labeled a “sixth man.” Even humorously. So I became the score keeper/time keeper/and rule keeper. I called the opposing team/coach for a uniform number violation and the head ref lost it. Perhaps he knew he was batshit crazy and was running with it?🤷🏽 Nonetheless he persisted. 😁

Having a sacred place inside of us to visit is a perfect place to start meditation and self-care. So many people don't realize that self-care is important. Some think that thinking of themselves is selfish but it's not. So happy that you are able to get out and enjoy yourself.

It’s all good. No, you’re good. No, outstanding! 🎉 And don’t you have one of these 🎂 in the not too distant future? 😁. I won’t tell…

Yes! And it’s a treatment day. I’ve asked my TexMexYankee niece to make frosted cutouts that I can take to the oncology staff. I might have to eat one, too!

Oooh! Do they travel well? 😉

Yes! She packages in paper shreds. I’ve received a few orders and have only experienced a couple of broken cookies.

I felt certain that double entendre would not pass undetected!

So happy for you and your “Meaty Blood”. Trying to figure out a tune for it! Maybe the Muses will sing the harmony? Xoxo
