Something desperately needed to give after the sweltering summer that seems to have begun at Easter & only JUST released its humid grip on us in the past day or two. Several things conspired to refocus me privately & professionally. One is, of course, the weather change; so too my little health scare earlier this summer. Another was my recent vacation, spent between the graduation of my eldest with his B.Sci. & a trip back to the familiar turf of the NY metropolitan area during which I reconnected with an old friend.
There are future events I need to work to prepare for NOW...not least of which is avoiding the health issues that are plaguing loved ones past the age of 65, with an eye toward improving on my current health status & preserving myself well into the years beyond retirement. (To say nothing of my being vain enough to want to look FABOO at the eventual graduations & weddings of my children & other family members!)
With that in mind, I begin my revamped schedule tomorrow morning, with me arising at 6:00 am for a half hour romp with my mutts before starting the daily grind of motherhood, wife, & hard working employee. God willing it'll become habit long before mornings get cold enough to watch for stray snowflakes (which, around here, is highly unlikely before late January or early February).
Now is the time to adjust my habits toward better health & hopefully see substantial results by this time next year. What better time than Labor Day to start a labor of love?
