The Greatest And Most Social Sport In The World: Pickleball
What is Pickleball? Pickleball is a fun sport that incorporates various elements from other racquet sports like tennis, badminton and ping-ping (aka table tennis). Pickleball is played both indoors and outdoors on a badminton-sized court and a slightly adapted tennis net. Just like ping-pong, pickleball is played with a paddle and a plastic ball with holes; the balls are bigger than ping-pong balls. Ping-pong balls do not have holes but are made from plastic. Pickleball can accommodate one or more players, just like in other sports like soccer, basketball and bowling.

3 Journal Prompts for Self-Compassion Newbies
We’ve all heard that we should practice self-compassion. We spend every waking moment with a voice-over that follows us while we complete each day’s tasks. It’s easy to forget that our internal monologue isn’t neutral. It’s biased, and sometimes it can be negative and wreak havoc on your mood.

Surgery Nightmare
What do you do when a "simple" surgery turns into a medical nightmare? Back in January I went for my annual mammogram. To my horror, a mass was found and an appointment was scheduled with a breast surgeon. Of course, I am freaking out because there is a great deal of breast cancer history in my family PLUS I am a cervical cancer survivor. Consultation with the surgeon came within two weeks of the mass being found. My husband accompanied me to the appointment. She goes into the density and this and that. Words that I heard but was not listening to. Then she recommended a simple lumpectomy because she did not like the look and shape of the mass. Hubs and I agreed to have it removed. Surgery was scheduled not even a month after the consultation. The surgery was scheduled for 9 am but at 12:15 pm, I was still waiting to be taken into surgery. This caused my anxiety levels to rise thus making my blood pressure elevate (not good prior to surgery). Let's fast forward. Slowly coming to myself (or so I thought) from the anesthesia. I could hear the nurse to the left of me say to my husband, "It is taken her much longer than we expected for her to wake up." I could hear the panic in my husband's voice when he asked what could be the cause. As my eyes finally flutter open, the nurse says, "she had some issues during and after surgery."
