Daily (I hope) motivation
Where I live in a northern clime, the sun won't be up for nearly another hour. But I can tell already that today is going to be absolutely beautiful. Even if we're under gray clouds, gray and shades of gray can be stunningly beautiful. For those of you who need cuddles, give yourself as big a self-hug as you can and make…

How's your New Year's shaping up?
I'm doing well now. I had a rocky start, and a stumble on Friday, but now I'm sticking to it, and have said goodbye to the holiday pounds. I'm back to where I started at the beginning of December, and hope to report a weight loss this week.

Thank you Nmthor!
I gotta say, when I read that we should have our diaries open/public (which I do anyways) I wasn't expecting messages from Nmthor critiquing my diary. But, that being said... after getting a message yesterday, I was spurred to get some real exercise in last night. I'm guilty of "planning" to exercise and then not actually…

Introduce Yourself
