It has been a long hot summer and I have hibernated in the apartment with both my AC's blasting most of the summer. I don't do well in the heat which is why I do the winter Olympics (you remember my medals from skiing?) Anyway, Fall is my favorite time of year with the leaves changing color and the days getting cooler. It rained today for the first time in ages. I have changed from winter sports now into ARE YOU READY FOR THIS ONE?????? You got it, I have been weight training for the last 2 1/2 months. I love it. I have found my muscle frame to my body again and believe me I don't want to loose it again. I can't believe what we can do to ourselves when we don't exercise and take care of our bodies. I was a mere weakling unable to lift things or do curbs because my core muscles, thighs and back were like wrinkled prunes. My knees yelled ouch, no stairs, all the time. Boy, you should see me now. I am strong able to lift the water jug at work and the AC from my window...and watch out curbs...I lung over them....my new career.....I am training for the Boston marathon in 2014 and Muscle Girl of the Year in 2012. My son Brian is my first challenge for arm wrestling next time I see him. He is trembling. So I'm busy at the gym. My stampin days are pretty much past except for an occasional new card for someone. I am reading alot more and enjoying it. I am engaged in a bible study and also have a community group with a friend called Mending Hearts. So if you have a crack, gorge, valley or any hurt in your heart, blog me and we can set up some time to pray for you. God is great, He is a faithful Father that will fulfill his promises and the desires of your heart. He always finishes what he starts so I am looking forward to all the great things that are going to happen in my life, my family and those whose lives I am lucky to touch. So I hope you are one of those people that will be a divine connection that I will meet someday and we can talk about LOVE. Be blessed and know that you are much loved.
