Not getting any younger.

Weighing in...over.  I used to be a pretty good athlete. I could jog up to ten miles. Then, family life took over for twelve years. Now I make up excuses or I am afraid to start training again. My mood must be deteriorating because I have to stop and start every few minutes. Nevertheless, I signed up for a five mile run in June. I'm trying to be sociable and get off my couch.  Happy trails.

That is great that you are jogging again. Keep working at it and don't give up. I use to jog a little and don't even try anymore. Walking is my exercise now.

I wish I had the will power to exercise. I just don't. It's good you have a goal in the future :)

Good for you for pushing yourself when you don't want to.... That's hard to do

If you think that your mood is deteriorating I would monitor it daily for a couple of weeks and if you need to see your doc sweetie.... Big hug of comfort and support... xo

    Today mom and I are taking Moo and Copper to the vet for vaccines.  I'm watching a movie having coffee while copper snoozes in between my knees.  What does Thursday look like for you?

    Does anyone here have a comfort item you carry with you when you go out? For example this is my doll, Annie, and I've recently been bringing her with me when I run errrands flor have an appointment. Holding her comforts me. I've bought her clothes, crocheted for her, I recently bought a personalized blanket with her name on it.  Just wondering if anyone else has a comfort item.
