It is time for a little resolve. I have been sort of lost in my fitness/weight control plan of late. I don't know what's gotten into me. I think one thing is that I need to eat better. Much of my calories come from carbs lately. I believe I need to switch to having more protein and adding fruits to my inbetween times. I have a vague awareness of a need to do some other kinds of workout. I mentioned to Paul about starting a weight program this fall. I also want to get in some trail running. That might have to wait for days when the mountain bike or road bike are not good choices. And I think I need to do some swimming. But the pool won't be open this winter. I am stuck thinking about it.
Effigies are used in grieving by providing a tangible representation of what has been lost, allowing a mourner to connect with who or what they've lost , which can help with the process of acceptance and emotional expression, particularly when the loss is sudden or traumatic; they can be used to focus grief and memories around a physical likeness, offering a sense of continued presence even in their absence
