Life Motors Along...


Let me catch you up to the story of Pennylicious: Joined Weight Watchers at the end of January and have lost 17# so far! I feel good and I look good too! Or so Momin8tor says! And D-man too! I've managed to shed weight without consistent exercise, so I'm working on increasing the exercise. I found a terrific 4.5 mile walk out in the country near where we live that includes a lap around the little cemetery. With a view of the Three Sisters, it's a magical and inspiring walk. My adorible son turned EIGHT this year, so that's been really exciting. I'm enjoying being his mom. These young boy years are very wonderful. I feel close to him still. Life with my sweetie is very nice. We have our issues, that is true; however,we have a solid base of love and trust that holds us up when things feel rocky. It's the first time I've had that, and it really makes a difference! I am more willing to look at my part in what doesn't work for us. Also, it's important for me that resentment doesn't build up. I'm working on getting my tone and attitude to be kinder because D-man is very sensitive...he is a water sign after all!! D-man is working on his stuff too, girls, don't worry! I have found a really good job! It meets 9/10 of my "top ten requirements for a kickass job!" And believe you me, I was very picky when I made up this list. The honeymoon is over and that takes a little adjustment but I know my employers value me and want me around. That feels good! So life is good, all around! I'm looking forward to summer: the lake, visiting CA, riding the motorcycle, etc.
