cultivating me

That is what I will continue to do for the following week as I continue to work on making my walking routine a habit. I had a pretty good week and managed to meet my goal of walking 5 out of 7 days and I am feeling good about reaching that goal again this week. [...]

i’m a bit behind here but that’s ok. i took the day off from writing to spend extra time with my littlest monkey – he turned 8!!! i just love love love birthdays!!! if you didn’t have one you wouldn’t be here and that would probably make man people sad to think about. don’t fret [...]

Enrique today is your birthday!!! You’re 8!!! I cannot believe it!! You are such a wonderful boy and every day you are growing into what I know will be a wonderful man. You are sensitive and extremely kind, always trying to find a compromise or fair solution for every one. You are not scared to [...]

Today, I did not get up in time to take my walk but I did redeem myself by using the treadmill this evening.  I walked for 40 minutes for a total of 2.22 miles and let me tell you the treadmill is just MEAN!  I used a preprogrammed workout and it just kicked my rear.  [...]

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit. — Aristotle I came across this quote today and immediately thought of someone very special to me. I am so fortunate to have a wonderful true friend in my life. I like to call her my bestest best. She was away [...]

As you might know, I need to get off my duff! I have decided to begin walking each day and my goal is to walk 45 minutes at least 5 days a week. I have trouble with staying motivated and with following thru with workout routines but since my health is an issue, I really [...]
