Year of the Dog

Every year I make new year goals.

Some years have been over the top and I accomplish nothing I write down.

As I have aged,

I make goals that are obtainable.

This year I want to:

 

 Maintain my weight

Learn to Accept

Minimize my need for sweets

Go to the temple 4-6 times

 

This year I truly intend to complete my goals.

I have love and support and help and a plan.

That was a lot of 'ands'.

 

We have spent the girls' break playing.

Playing together and lazing together,

and I snoodle them every night before bed.

 

Ella and I have been playing acrobat again!!

She has excellent body control and just enough fear to keep her from panicking and diving toward the ground.

Which I know sounds awful,

but is actually a good ting for small people who want to cheer.

 

On January 4th,

I woke up and went for my last run.

I plodded along the cold path,

my knee protested.

My hip ached.

And I accepted that running does not have room in my life anymore.

 

I got the bike I've been wanting for a year and half,

and I love it.

It's exhilarating to ride

and relief to my legs, feet and knees.

 

Even though I won't be running by Granny, Grandpa, and now Uncle Raoul,

I will still make sure to take the time to careful ride passed them.

 

My pets took the lazing part of the holiday quite serious.

 

I got to finally play with my yoga wheel last night.

I didn't NEED a yoga wheel.

I just wanted a toy for Christmas!!

 Handstands.

Are HARD.

I can not do them unassisted,

or with out the reassurance that the wall is near.

 But I could crouch on this things for hours.

I may not do a lot of things well,

but I have balance.

I'm short.

Low center of gravity.

I'm like a pyramid!!

 

Ella joined me!!
