And then just today, I got a commission in the March 19 primary election to be an election judge, an administrative election judge. And I love voting. You guys know I do, because I've talked about it many, many times here on swell, but guess where it is? It's at my high school, my old high school. I haven't seen that place in 36 years. And that's on purpose. They've had several reunions and I've not gone to one

If you want to lose weight and you want to build muscle, that takes work and dedication, that takes time, that takes patience. And you're going to be at a place to where you feel like, why did I do this? Or you're going to feel it's a struggle and you're all alone until you've accomplished. And then you're going to look back and be like, wow, I did that. I apologize. I had an interruption on my phone. Someone called

I don't know if I do, if I don't, I haven't before. But when I say I'm nervous about going to be around people, I am like a perfectionist. I need to get my outfit out now. And, girl, it ain't even until next week, but I want my outfit out. I want to know what my hair is going to look like, my outfit, my shoes, my socks, everything

Hi Evelyn, this is Jl. First and foremost, thank you for the opportunity for me to be able to use lots of the advice that I received on my post from last week about how to respond on social media when someone asks for your thoughts or your opinions or feedback. And I was like, well, look at God, it look at this opportunity to provide, to use the feedback that you all so graciously had shared

And I know a lot of people, it's hard for us to swallow that it's one of the greatest pieces of advice that I was given when I became a mother, when someone said to me, Jl, you were Jl for 28 years before you became pregnant with this kid. You honor her first, because that is the way that you will be the best mother, is by honoring the things that you want to do first

It was because I had put everything in to him, and not in a healthy way, in a very unhealthy way in terms of using him as a crutch. Now, listen, hear me. Hear me clearly. I'm not saying you used your daughters or your husband as a crutch. I'm going to bring this full circle

You got to do what's right for your mental, your physical, your spiritual health each and every day, and anyone or anything that stands in the way of that. To hell with them. That and beyond. Bye

Hey, Jl. Thank you so much for the words of encouragement. I took a day just to get myself together, try to think about things, and to see if I really want to do that. Still undecided, but I'll definitely let them know tomorrow if that's really what I want to do. But anyway, thank you for, like I said, the words of encouragement, pushing me forward so I can excel at being me. Thank you

It. Trusting your intuition is key, because if you don't trust yourself, how are you going to trust others, right? I'm so glad that you brought that point up, and I appreciate you commenting on this. Well, yeah, it's something I'm going to have to think about for just a minute or so, and then I'll know what I'm going to do. So thank you so much

Hi, Ladyfi. I'm a few days late on this. Well, just coming across it. And so one, I want to say thank you for sharing. And I know that you're asking for advice and feedback, but of course, ultimately, it's up to you what you want to do. And that means not even your loving hubby and not even your mom. It's up to you. And I think that's kind of the key word here

Thank you, Anngela. I really appreciate your perspective. I got a couple of answers here, but I like yours because I don't want to do it. I don't want to do it. I don't want to do it. And I don't think I have a choice, though. In jury duty, I have to show up unless I can talk to my doctor. But other than that, no, I don't want to do it
