Looking together in the same direction.

Looking together in the same direction.
Sea otters hold hands while they sleep so they don't drift apart.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

One picture is worth 1000 denials. (Ronald Reagan)

     My before picture is posted! (See below).   It always surprises me to see myself.  In reality I look nothing like the active, vigorous  younger person I see in my mind's eye, or even in the mirror.   I always have hated photos of myself and avoid having them taken.  I need to work on that attitude.  I am who I am, I am me, and I am beautiful.  Meanwhile, I do have the  picture of "After" me in my mind and I can see myself doing all the things I will be doing soon. 
     Exercise-wise....my plans are falling into place.  I have been doing 30 minutes of stretching plus modified push-ups, and crunches in the AM.  Last night I jogged 1 very slow mile on our newly functional treadmill.  I am easing into this.  Hope to become a jogger soon.  Am going to try out the "Total Yoga, level 1" tomorrow.   Here's to your health.
