It’s been a good week

I know it can seem like I complain a lot here, but I figure there’s only a handful of people reading, and they’re here because they love and know me.  The weather is crappy, Mercury is retrograde, and there’s been a low-grade illness hovering around . . .

That said, I’ve had a great week, and I am feeling incredibly good today. For the first time in weeks, I made it to all of my exercise classes. I got pushed — hard – in Muay Thai on Thursday and felt great about going again today. How to put this . .  I feel GOOD. Oh, I’m sore and all that, but I feel GOOD.

It is a really good day.

I’ve got work to do, but I’ve been at it for three hours already (and its only 9:30am), and I’m taking a break. A recent pin (on Pinterest) “5 Things That Should be on Your Bucket List” got me thinking. I don’t even have a bucket list. Do I want one?

Nine Years

Today is our nine year anniversary. Amazing to think its been that long. I know that much of the reason we are still together is because of his strength and unwavering faith that I am ‘the one’ during the times when I was not so sure. And since we’re actually getting *married* this year, it’s like we’ve done the hard work already.
