Mom... and Dad

I talked to my mom on the phone today, she has been sick for a week, in bed with a bug. She is not a fussy woman, but loving and kind, with soft spot for animals. I, of course, only remember her as Mom but I found this slide in a box of my dad's mementos. They had been divorced for several decades at the time of my dad's passing but neither were ever the kind to speak badly about the other. This was taken around the time of their wedding, before kids and life and hard feelings. It makes me happy to see her smile knowing it was Dad she was smiling at. I am grateful today for the love to these two extraordinary people. 

Uninvited Calories

While I am not thankful for the extra pounds the holidays brought with them, I am certainly grateful for all the yummy meals I had over the last couple months. I am also SUPER grateful for Yoga Today ( http://www.yogatoday.com), and Peak Fitness ( http://www.peakeverett.com ) memberships. Bring on the sweat!

An Exercise In Gratitude

I have way more than one thing a day to be thankful for so it shouldn't be any trouble to come up with at least one... that is the challenge.

Today's list:
No hangover - the upside of not getting hammered on New Year's Eve.
Watched Guardians of the Galaxy... it was awesome. Seems like it is the kind of movie that gets better with each viewing.
Speaking of movies that just keep getting better, I also watched The Princess Bride just for good measure.
When Jim got home we undecorated the tree and took it down. It is nice to get everything in the house back to it's non-holiday normal.
