1/23/13 Treading water, in the quicksand

They weren’t kidding when they said time goes faster as you get older. I swear since I hit 40 it’s going by faster than the speed of light! Fortunately, I am surrounded by the most amazing people who make my life journey worthwhile. This past week, I once again celebrated being born. I have always enjoyed birthdays, and not just mine. My Mother always made us feel special no matter how old we got. Of course, with a January 20th birthday, I have historically shared that day with crazy world events like the Presidential Inaugurations, MLK 3-day weekends, and even a few Super Bowls...so YES, I do feel special. This year however, was special because I am surviving adversities, and am just ever so grateful that I have cultivated friendships with some of the most outstanding people anyone could know!

Three weeks into what I am hoping is a fabulous 2013, I am trying to find my inner peace, enhance my health & well-being and continue to work on digging out of financial crisis. It’s going to be a long road, but with the support I have, I remain optimistic. Not getting overwhelmed and hiding from the world seems to be the biggest obstacle!

I have signed up for my first 5K in early February, always nice to have a goal for my workouts. I know I also have to work out a plan for the upcoming FSU baseball season. No, I don’t play, but I’m a strong spectator, and worse yet; a super strong tailgater! Can I find a better balance at tailgates of better food & less adult beverages? Only time will tell! Meanwhile, I will continue to pursue my dietary & exercises changes on a daily basis as I figure out what works best for me.

    First of all - happy birthday - I am really sorry I wasn't able to make your get-together! I will be at Cookies too - it's going to be a blast. I don't talk too often of financial struggles (my family and friends may disagree) but we are struggling through that too so you've got my support there. Savor every moment (okay, even if it means a few less adult bevvies at tailgating) and know that you are appreciated!!
