Elizabeth I defending Edward Stanley’s wife and persuading him to be reconciled with her

“We greet you well. Hearing sundry wise of some unkindness and strangeness of late of your part towards your wife, whereof for both your parts we were sorry, and being informed that no matter can be understand by her friends and kinfolks of her desert, but that upon some misliking conceived against her by your children, you should by them be occasioned to deal strangely with her and in other sort than you were accustomed or than is convenient, we, being very sorry to hear of this alteration (considering we know how well you esteemed her and we ourselves having always had very good estimation of her, both for her good parentage and for her own discreet behavior), cannot, for the favor and goodwill we have to you both, but require you either to receive her to such favor as heretofore you did bear her, without inclining to credit such as of evil will and without just cause shall be disposed to maintain variation betwixt you; or if you shall think her otherwise to have defied, that we or some of our Council may be duly and particularly thereof advertised, to the end her friends may understand how to deal for the answering thereof. Who justly think her to be rather by evil will of others than by yourself touched in her fame, and the fault in them by slandering her to you with obscure speeches and not in her at all by any king of deserving. And hereof we require you to give us a letter.”

I'd like to think maybe Anne would've married Edward Stanley, if he hadn't married Dorothy Howard.

I’m not so sure they could’ve. Edward Stanley was under the wardship of the 3rd Duke of Norfolk and considering he hated the Boleyns, I don’t think he would’ve agreed to the marriage.

Day 291: Pounding Pounds

It’s a funny thing about getting older: your body finds all kinds of new and unusual ways to pack on the pounds.

Since last November, I had lost about 10 pounds. Since mid-April, I’ve put most of them back on. Mid-April is when I stopped doing my daily walks because I was putting so much time into the garden--lifting heavy rocks, pushing a wheelbarrow up and down the little hill on our property--I thought I was earning a free pass on contrived exercise. I thought that moving around so much would be the equivalent of doing my hour-long yoga practice and an hour’s walk each day. I was wrong.

I’m a hearty eater, but I think I’m a clean eater. Still, I realize I could make my diet cleaner and my portions smaller. After all, I’m no longer of child-bearing age; I simply don’t need that many calories. Most of the research indicates that a low-calorie diet is one key to a long life. But I also love my carbs and refuse to believe that they should be eliminated from anyone’s diet. Whole grains were put on this earth for a reason and I believe the reason is to make me really happy.

So I’m pretty convinced that no matter how hard I work in the garden, or how many times I run up and down the basement steps, I still have to put in time on the mat and on the pavement. It just doesn’t seem fair that as we get older, we have to exercise more. It’s slowly dawning on me that although our culture teaches us that our sixties and beyond are a time to slow down, that might not be The Truth. Perhaps we’re meant to keep speeding up--or face a slow march toward illness and decrepitude. All of which means I have to push back from the computer now and hit the streets with my sneakers on, my attitude adjusted.
