Health and Happiness

The older I become and the more children I have, the more I become extremely concerned about my health and happiness. I have been wanting to start a group for women to come together and exercise and do interesting things together, but most females I know are very reluctant. No one wants to walk, play softball, or anything that requires movement!! How do we get each other to become more active? Do we always have to wait until it is late in the game before we improve or keep up our bodies? When do we honestly say, "I am going to keep myself together". I think that we say that all of the time, but do not follow through. Following through might be the challenge for many of us. How do we overcome this challenge? I have plenty of ideas about that but no real solution except "Just Do It".

I have always been a very active person, but it wasn't until I hit 30 and had the 4th child that I realized that I may need to be a little more active. Taking care of yourself, a husband, and 4 other bodies can be a challenging task if your not prepared. And that I wasn't, prepared. I want to continue being active and not let the job become the stress in my life again. My husband has encouraged me to include and cut out somethings in our diet. Which has really helped and was an excellent idea.

My creative spirit has been on the hunt to complete and "follow through" on projects. I am excited to say that I did complete a couple of things since my last post, including: a baby blanket (very cute), another hat, a slide picture album, a birthday party and something else. (I forgot). I find lots of new projects that interest me, but seem to have a hard time getting started with those things. Reading other blogs and looking at more pictures has been giving me the enthusiasm to start completing some of the interesting ideas that flow through me. (Regularly I might add).

If you have interesting projects, any health and happiness tips, let me know. I'm digressing now to indulge in some Ice cream and Trefoil cookies. :) Yummy.
