Has it been 10 minutes?

I know I know - "Where does the time go??!!" is just too trite to say - but really - WHERE DOES THE TIME GO??!!

My mom used to say "You DO what you WANT to do." While I do believe that I am still amazed when I look at this poor, neglected blog and realize how much time has gone by since my last post. Guess it's a good thing I'm not doing this for anyone else.... can't disappoint someone if they aren't really expecting anything. :-)

What prompted me here today was an email I received from son #2. It had a link for me to click so I did - here's what I found:
Surprising Signs You'll Live Longer Than You Think - 1 - Women's Health - MSN Health & Fitness

If you know me then you know my health has become a big concern in my life. Not that I'm sick - but I want to be around to play with my grandchildren. I want to get down on the floor and play - and more importantly I want to get back up without having the grandkids all gather around me and say "OK everyone - PULL!"

So I've changed my eating habits and I'm working on changing my exercise habits. I've lost 50 pounds and have another 50+ that I'd like to lose. I won't be anorexic when I've lost that much - really. I can stand to lose it. And that link was SUCH an encouragement to me.

All 3 of our children have been so supportive. So encouraging. So "there" for me.

What a lucky mom I am.
