Hello Everyone! How are you today?

It's nice to be back, how have you all been? As I stood in the living room talking with Ed this morning a flash of red caught my eye. Isn't he beautiful. As I watched him flit and fluttered from one branch to another I smiled. Some believe this is a sign from a loved one that passed away stopping in to say "Hi". I asked him to stay a couple more minutes while so I could grab my camera, and he cooperated. This was a wonderful way to start the day. A hello from heaven. 

After enjoying a visit with hubby and one of his friends over to watch the SU basketball game, I woke up Mags and planned our day. She enjoyed time with a good friend and I returned to the gym. After over three weeks of fighting illness, it was GREAT to get back on the treadmill and sweat. My goal was to achieve 30 minutes with a 10 minute massage as a reward. I'm happy to report I managed 40 minutes on the tread mill, with even a couple minutes of running before relaxing on the massage bed.

As I ran with my running/walking playlist jamming in my head phones (yes I wear head phones and not ear buds) I found myself thanking God for the renewed energy, improved health, the inspiration, motivation, and encouragement He continues to offer me and those I love. There have been some changes in my life that have helped spark this renewed faith, hope, and energy but I'll get to that in another blog.

For today, I just wanted to say Hello and "I'M BACK!!" Are you ready?
