well, i haven’t hiked them all yet, but my minister of fun was kind enough to take me on a hike a few months ago. it was short, but fun, and although i haven’t gone back out to do another one (yet)...it’s a start.
i think a lot of my shift towards eating healthier has, at its root, two causes. one is my constant fussing about my weight, and the realization that eating healthier is more than half the battle. the other, of course, is that rhapsody always cooks things that are not only delicious, but about as healthy as it comes.
so i must thank her for that.
my youngest sister got married in nov ‘05 and i spent a lot of time with family that i haven’t seen in a long time. and, although it’s not become a very regular thing, i know that the rifts of the past have begun to heal.
