"Nice. Let's go through this again..."

I've undertaken "fitness" again.

As I've gone for walks in the last several weeks, I've thought I had better document it (hell, it might actually WORK this time!) and though I've left various pieces of myself on the web for all to see since I was 17, none of them felt right to return to. None felt like home.

I haven't blogged since my friend Earl died - a year and a half ago.

The only thought I've had about that was from the end of one of my favorite books when I was a kid, "Go Ask Alice" (yes, yes, I know it's fake, but at the time I thought it was the most heart-wrenchingly real thing I'd ever read.) At the end, she decides to stop writing in her diary - that adults had a support network of people to talk to and didn't need to write it all down.

I haven't felt the tickle... not even a little this whole time... until now.

So: this is my "establishing shot"... I'll get to the messy stuff later (where I've been, where I'm going & why... and why in the world I think that - at 30 - I might finally get anywhere near my goals when I've failed to do so thus far since I was in elementary school.)

It's late.

:-)

... but this should prove worthwhile.

  1. Awesome darling!! I'll be here to support you all the way! And I LOVE working out, especially walking! As long as its nice out (i.e. Not raining, above 60 degrees, etc...) I go walking at least 4 miles every day (to the post office and back). On really nice days that I have extra time, I'll walk to the grocery store, which is in total a 6 mile walk. Really really good for you and a really rewarding feeling! KEEP IT UP!
