Being A Diva Is Always Work In Progress

-
Do you sometimes feel stuck in a routine that it makes life boring at times?  Lately I am feeling that way.  So the Diva has got to add some spice to my life.  Sometimes adding a touch of variety to your life can break up that boring aspect of your life, and adding some spice makes it more adventurist.

I was talking to a few people just yesterday, and we were talking about getting away from the daily grind for a day or two.  Watching our pennies and the way the economy has been,  planning those long trips might not be something we can do right away.  But just taking a day long retreat or doing something different can make a big difference.  Living here on a beautiful Island, we tend not to take advantage of even going on the beach.  You will be surprised at how many of us do not go the beach, and its right there free, and surrounds us.  We need to explore more, take advantage of all the free stuff to do in your island, or if you live in the main land, I am sure there are lots of free things to do.

We have our free concerts like Sunset Jazz, every third Friday in the month.  I look forward to listening to some Jazz as we watch the sun set down in the west, of Frederiksted.  Just recently we had the pleasure of listening to Dion Parson's and the 21st Century Band, from the Big Apple, who participated in a week long of mentoring activities at the various schools, and ending with a concert at Fort Frederik, and joining them were local talents students, and musicians. Eddie Russel and his crew gave a free Jazz concert in Christiansted. And to add to all that we had another free concert in Frederiksted, with Stanley and the Ten Sleepless Knights, performing at the Veterans Park.  If your not interested in Jazz, there are other things that can be done here on the island.  Sometimes just taking a drive and tour of places you do not frequent can be not just educational but beneficial in lifting the spirits.  Taking your mind off of what is bothering you for the moment and giving you a chance to de-stress.  Stepping away from your problem is a good thing, because once you go back to solving it, you would of had time to cool off, relax and think of alternative ways to your situation.http://www.gotostcroix.com/events/sunset-jazz-in-frederiksted

Well, the Diva is off again, have some projects to complete will be back later on this week........

Being Mindful of your Health

Ok Diva's get off the couch and that chair behind the desk and start walking, or start doing Zumba.  What's it going to be?  Although I am retired, I still stay active.  Sometimes a little too active.  But that's another story for another day. Sitting too long during the day behind your desk, and then relaxing to look at a show on TV can increase your risk for diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic diseases.  And while some of us who do not  like going to the GYM, you can get up and walk.  A cool walk in the morning, walking your dog for instance, and also taking a evening stroll helps. When I retired I took off some weight, but I am seeing that I have to take off some more.  Doing Zumba helped with the first weight off, and eating pretty healthy helped also, but the Diva here likes to go out and meet her other Diva friends, and we like to to have our glass of Wine, as we sit back and have a good time.  I have got to shed these other po...
