Another fresh new year is here . . .
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and
fear,
To love and
laugh and give!
This bright new year is given me
To live each day with zest . . .
To daily grow and try to be
My highest and my best!
I have the opportunity
Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
And sing more joyful songs!
- William Arthur Ward

Welcome all to 2013 may your year be filled with fun, family, love, and many Q's!
I apologize for things being so very quiet around here this Fall. The earth continues to spin and the light of a new day dawns whether you are ready for it or not.
Where to start....
Happy Anniversary to the BLOG ;-) A year ago I
jumped in with the masses and started sending my thoughts and photographic journey out into the electronic abyss. At the time, I would have been surprised if 100 people had tripped over this site. Really, what do I have to say or add to the collective thought that others would bother to read. And really it was not my intention to have this blog read by others. Just a way to journal, think out loud, problem solve, and just maybe connect with some others that would lend their thoughts and ideas. As of this writing this site has had 3247 page views! To me, that is so very amazing! Along with visitors from all over the world! Simply jaw dropping to this small person in my little space of life. Thank you to all that have stopped to share in my life and experiences. Your visit is so very appreciated and enjoyed by me. Now if I could just get you all to talk with me by commenting lol. I would really like to hear/read what your thoughts are!
Anyway.... This time last year I refused to make any resolutions. I just listed my hopes and plans for the coming year. In review I am proud to say I have managed to accomplish a few of my plans.
Weight: I managed to get very close to my goal weight this year. I spent the spring and fall very happy with my body and myself. I once again felt like I looked good (healthy, fit, with day light between my legs, and a lot less jiggling when I run). I managed to run all summer at least 4 days a week and made Surf go with me for endurance training for him. I listened to my body and
ate what I was supposed to. I won a kayak race and my first triathlon, partnered with my husband. HOLY SMOKES we won our division in our very first triathlon!!!!!! (40-49 year old team kayak and there was more than 6 teams in the division!!) Amazing, simply amazing!!!
