We are family (too)

do do do do do do do di. (if you don't hear the song then apparently the music is just in me.)

I read this blog post today, and it made me think of my family. If you've got time, read her brother's post too. Ness writes:

"God gives you family for lots of reasons. The main one is to make you a better person. They alternately annoy the fire out of you and love you. The best part is happening now, with all of us figuring out how to forge friendships with one another that go way beyond just being related. I miss them. I miss them all like crazy." Happiness is a Butterfly.

Resolving in 09

I'm resolving to be happy and healthy and grow me in 2009 - not weight wise, but personal growth. Better person and such.

Back to routines after the holidays, we head to the gym this morning. And I should have expected it, the gym was packed! The locker room, the main equipment studio, the upstairs walking track. I jogged on a treadmill upstairs by the track, an area I usually don't use, so while on the treadmill I watched people walk and jog around the track, watched myself in a mirror, and listened to music for 20 minutes and a little over a mile.

It's exciting to see people wanting to take hold of their health and resolving to get fit, and the positive side of me says yay for healthy fit people in 09! Funny enough, Ry had no issue having his own lane in the pool and said the men's locker room was no busier than normal. I am making an uninformed hypothesis here, but it must be women who resolve to loose weight.
