I am now within 3 weeks of being alive again for a whole year.
Less than a month. It just hit me really how close my rebirth day is; how close I am to the end of this blog (keep the cheers to a minimum).




I looked back over some of my posts. Some good, some pretty poor. They have definitely evolved over the year. I kind of got to thinking how I had evolved over the year.


I have lost 30 lbs.
I have gotten religious about running at least 3 times a day.
I have gotten used to taking pills for a living.
I have gotten VERY aware of my weight and how much I eat. I actually panic just a little if I gain any weight, or feel like I went over 1500 milligrams of sodium in a day.


As you might imagine, things have taken on a new priority in life. Missing events for my kids actually hurts now. I mean I always hated it, but I actually hurt a little this week when I had to miss the open house at the kids' school.


I am noticing my age more now too. I just realize that I have been around for a while. I am not "OLD" per say but I am actually old enough to be a grandparent without TOO much of a stretch.
(For those of you who doubt....47....48 for all intents and purposes....at 23 I could have had a son, 46 when he has a daughter, & there you go....my fictitious granddaughter would be 2 years old; a toddler)


I crossed over to where I don't feel invincible anymore. Sort of a sad thing, but maybe a good thing. I am taking better care of myself. I am working with the kids to make sure they take care of THEMSELVES as best I can while letting them still be kids.


This blog has grown and changed. I have changed and hope I have grown.
Three weeks to reach a year. I'm looking forward to it.


Good night & God bless.
