I've been absent from this little blog for over a week. It wasn't intentional. But when you have this surrounding you, it's hard to want to be cooped up inside writing about life.
About three weeks ago, I gave myself some new fitness goals. This has nothing to do with losing weight (although, my waistline wouldn't mind a reduction). It is really about being active. And able. I look at my Grandmothers and see how inactivity will curse you when you are elderly. Both were fiercely independent but not super active in their early retirement years. Now both in their 80s, I've watched their health decline each year. I don't want that for me. Sure there are a lot of genetic and environmental factors that may be out of my control. But I'm not going to just lie down and wait for the diabetes and heart disease.
This blog certainly is not going to become about my journey into the land of the physically fit. But this blog is about my life. And when I'm not here, I'm probably outside. Soaking up some Vitamin D. Moving my body. Breaking the cycle that has plagued the women in my family.
So forgive me for my absence. My heart (literally) thanks you.
