MOVING!!!

No, not from the house.... But emotionally, physically!  
 
I feel so blessed to have the friends I do.... Ruth, who specifically said she came hiking so she could start living again after her husband died a year ago, triggered something inside me!  We had "met" on a fitness site 3 years ago; last week was the first time we were face to face.  Which is funny, because we both gained weight last year, lol.   But when she came, she said it was time for her to begin.... little did I know that I needed to begin again too!  
She left a salad in my fridge when she left, with stern instructions that I was supposed to eat it (that's one of my fitness challenges, lol)... since then, she leaves me messages every day on the fitness site to check to see if I'm doing it.   So yep, I am, lol... and then I started hiking more, started eating better, today I did step aerobics... MAN, I LOVE step aerobics!
AND WOW!   It was like this beam of sunlight came shooting through me!   I'm excited to get biking again... excited to do weight training... excited to eat well, feel great, go shopping for new clothes (long overdue, lol)... I'm wanting to run and play and explore!  
I dreamt last night that I was camping with all my animals in my van and loving it.... people everywhere, having a great time (well, except for chasing a cat around the campground, lol).   I think I'm just going to have to make that dream a reality... minus the cats, lol.   This is so AWESOME!!!
LATER!
