My daughter just talked me into joining Facebook, which I reluctantly agreed to—and only to be connected to her and my son. Almost immediately, I was invited by just about all the family members in my generation to be their “friend” on Facebook. I haven’t spoken to many of these people for years and this is a great way to start!
The reason I don’t like joining these kind of things is because you end up connected to strangers who keep you under pressure to entertain them with constant comments and postings. I’ve found that with my family members, I really don’t mind that at all. Also, I know that if I don’t put anything on there for a while, they won’t delete me and they’ll always be there when I get back. I’m so glad I did this and I’m looking forward to getting close to my family again, as I know this will also lead to get-togethers in the future.

Ever think Scrooge had it right before the ghosts ruined his life? Meet Aidan O’Conner.
At one time he was a world-renowned celebrity who gave freely of himself and his money without wanting anything in return…until those around him took without asking. Now Aidan wants nothing of the world—or anyone who’s a part of it.
When a stranger appears at his doorstep, Aidan knows he’s seen her before…in his dreams.
Born on Olympus as a goddess, Leta knows nothing of the human world. But a ruthless enemy has driven her from the world of dreams and into the home of the only man who can help her: Aidan. Her immortal powers are derived from human emotions—and his anger is just the fuel she needs to defend herself…
One cold winter’s night will change their lives forever…
Trapped together in a brutal winter storm, Aidan and Leta must turn to the only power capable of saving them—or destroying them both: trust.

I kept track of my daily progress on paper. Here’s the week in a nutshell.
In parentheses are the goal amounts.
The tally scratches show what I accomplished for the week.
(28) fruit – //// //// 9
(35) vegetables – //////////// //// 19
(35) water – //////////////// 20
(3x week) fish – /// 3 (yes!)
(30 min/7 days) walk – / 1 :(
(3x week) strength training – (none yet) :(
Obviously, I need to do better than I am – especially with the exercise part. At least this keeps me aware, and I know what I need to strive for…
