Another day in paradise

May 23, 2013

I enjoy living in the South.  Not the deep, "real" South, just Florida.  I get to see green all year round.  Although it is very humid, all that moisture is good for my skin.  The warmth is good for my arthritis.

I am taking a plunge today and starting my workout plan in earnest.  It is nothing major, just walking for 20-30 minutes.  It has always been difficult to keep to a routine, but I had the surgery and now I have to make commitments to myself to honor that big change. 

So, today I will take my sweet dog, Moses (a.k.a. Momo), for a walk through my neighborhood.  My strategy is to make this enjoyable and look for nesting cardinals and finches. 

My other strategy is to feel like one of the "haves" and not a "have-not".  Instead of seeing beautiful, fit people and hating them, I am going to feel kinship with them.  They have taken steps to ensure their health, and so have I. 

Positive changes.  Moving forward.
