I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps.

quietly in your mind, Alexandria, someone over here sheds a tear and
healing begins?
Did you know that whenever you whisper, "Can I help you..." to someone
quietly in your mind, someone over here sheds a tear and an army of
angels are sent?
And, did you know that whenever you whisper, "I love you..." to

everywhere....
I love you,
The Universe
