My picture of the day is of...who else? My baby. I am well-aware that by posting this, I will probably be seen as the cat lady. In my opinion, there are far worse things to be. She always blinks at the flash, so it's hard to get a good picture of her pretty green eyes...
Okay, I think I'm going to get my wish, because it looks and feels like snow's coming outside. I can't wait. I hope I wake up to it tomorrow morning.
I've come to understand that while staying at one job for many years could be admired, there's something to be said for spreading your wings and trying something new. It introduces us to new friends, new experiences, new knowledge. I guess I've always been a person who enjoyed changed, especially if it is self-induced. The worst thing I could imagine is one year looking exactly the same as the last.
As I've gotten older, I've run from the self-improvement jag that almost never works when people make New Year's Resolutions. But there are some things that stay with you, things that you know you want to accomplish. And those things don't die down with the passage of time. If they go unachieved, they nag at you, like if you forgot to lock the door when you left for work that morning.
I've been on a long hiatus from working out. One surgery after another, a bad fall on my right knee and a couple of medical conditions have made working out seem impossible. But I'm slowly getting back to it. I haven't done a full workout DVD yet, I'll admit. But I've been lifting weights for my upper body and doing leg lifts every evening. Nothing major, but enough that I feel it. And I like that feeling, as the strength and flexibility slowly come back to me. So I'm not making exercise a new year's resolution, per se. But I am going to work on it, more and better than I did in the last couple of years. Slow and steady wins the race- something I've had to learn the hard way throughout my life.
