Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

Snow day. Again.

    Cold and snowy.  A good day to stay indoors.  Just ask our dear dog, Sadie.  She has been my walking/running companion for 9 years now.  We've gone thousands of miles together.  She is so much better for my health than a treadmill could ever be.  But she is getting older now, doesn't like going too far, and can't jump into the back of our car any longer.  Maybe she is smarter than I am...she wants to stay where it is warm and dry. 
     I did my half hour of exercises this morning and scooped snow for 90 minutes,  which is my version of weight lifting.  Thanks to our wonderful neighbor, Matt, for the scooping help and for the conversation.
     No weight loss yet, but no gain either despite having company all weekend.  That's a good thing.  I am feeling a bit stronger and more flexible.  Here's to good health.
