Emma1017 ... Which hurts less - Volume Two

[Lori Dee]

Thank you, Lori, Lilis, Davina, and Ellen.  The opinion of friends is far more valuable than my own opinion of myself.   

Of course, I notice my waist in the photo, but I have given up on my girlish figure.  No bikinis for me! 

All in all, it was a fun day and much needed!

I think I gave up on bikinis when I turned 40.

I also gave up bikinis decades ago

I have never given bikinis even a thought.  I am a swim shorts and rash guard kinda girl.

[Lori Dee]

Rash Guard - That's what I wear in the creek, aka jeans. Too many leeches hide under the rocks I move.

Just gotta love that smile!
Do it often. 

Right? Emma has the smile that can stop traffic.

Girl, we all need to unplug from the world a lot of the time. I am thankful because stuff makes me so out of it that I can't be in touch with this more than a day or two a week. I mean not thankful, obviously, but you know what I mean. Now more than ever you can get massively overloaded if you allow it.

But sometimes you just need to live in the world where global communications doesn't exist. You need to switch off. And just be in your own world. Forget everyone else's.

That is why I try to spend as much time as possible in the forest.

Lori... part squirrel. She's nuts, but in the best possible way. <3

Sephirah if I tried to stop traffic in NYC with my smile, I'd be toothless...🤪

Now you all know why I scuba dive. There is no internet under water.

But hey, according to the world, we are all nuts and I couldn't think of a classier group of people to be associated with.
Now pass me some walnuts.

See... I knew I loved you for a reason. Walnuts are my favourites. Followed closely by Brazil Nuts.

Also.. a girl who is down with the beauty of the underwater world is a girl after my own heart.

We aren't who we are because of what's outside. We are who we are because of what's inside.

I've been watching some more stuff by that couple you linked, Emma. Amanda and Shaye? Shaye is so gorgeous. And her wife is equally as gorgeous. Because they just love each other. I used to know a girl when I first came here back in 2008, called Shay. She reminded me of you... quite a lot, honestly. Must be the name. She was around your age, and just as thoughtful... and sassy.
