A new year…new beginnings. A chance to start out with a blank slate, a clean white page, a new calendar. What does this new year hold? Praying for wisdom this year and a deeper relationship with my Savior.

I didn’t want to do it. I tried to talk myself out of it. I wanted butter pecan ice cream instead. But I did it…
So here we are a couple of days after the 4th and it seems that summer is already on it’s way out. Isn’t true that we spend so much time in the current season wishing it was the next season instead of just soaking up where we are today? The sun is out bright today and it’s going to be hot but that’s ok. It wasn’t that long ago that we were complaining about the cold. So here’s to today and all the blessings it brings.

We are 19 days into the new year and I haven’t blogged yet, even though one of my goals was to blog once a week. So many goals and so little time…
I made a decision last week to start running. While I was home for 5 days sick I had plenty of time to blog hop. I don’t know no how I came to find this site but it inspired me. I am using a program called Couch to 5K. I hadn’t heard of it but it sounded like something I could do. You run/walk for 30 minutes 3 times a week for 9 weeks. By week 9 you are running a 5K. So last Saturday I went to the store and bought my first pair ever of running shoes. On Sunday my dear husband and I ventured out to the local high school track and pushed our way through 30 minutes of pain. I still can’t believe I made it and who starts exercising the week of Thanksgiving anyway?? Tuesday came and we actually made it though again. This time we ran in our neighborhood in the dark no less. Today we made it through day 3 and guess what…we survived. My goal is to run a 5K race before my birthday in April. On to week 2!
I have been sick most of this week and have fallen behind. However, I have vowed to finish, not be perfect. So for day 16 I am thankful for the “Hello Mornings” challenge. While I haven’t made all the changes I wanted to this session, I completed it.
Today I am grateful for all that served or are currently serving in our Armed Services including my dad and granddad. I am so grateful for the freedoms I have today because of these brave men and women.
