Thank you GL and LH!
You have given me great ideas! Most of the suggestions never crossed my mind, and some you have suggested, I thought of, buy in the back of my mind said, "Is it right for an acoa?".
Wow...I am starting to get excited about it...I knew the cheaper public athletic center was a good bet...or the all womens gym...I have *always* wanted to volunteer!...I love the library, but never thought of checking out the activities--great idea! Each time I considered something, that doubting voice would nag me.
It helps me so much to know that fellow acoa's have tried these suggestions. So now, when that voice says, "Is it right for *messed up me*?" I can say, "Fellow acoas have tried it and succeeded!"....Very powerful! Its acoa approved!
You are so right....Acoa's won't exercise if it is not FUN! I should more appropriately focus on the fun-factor....hmmmmmmm
I haven't got such good advice from anyone I know..
I just needed that extra push, from my acoa family, to know that you guys are doing it, in so many creative ways...
Please keep the ideas coming!
