Judy's Joyful Journey: Happy New Year!

I can see why some people have more than one blog but I don't see how they have time or energy to keep them up and actually do the baking, crafting or whatever else the blog is about. This particular day, I have many thoughts rushing through my mind. Probably I should start by deleting from my list some of the blogs I like to read but I hate the thought that I might miss something.

This is the assignment I answered earlier today:
"Imagine yourself 3 months from now based on where you are today. Are you happy, healthier, employed? Write down this image of yourself and at least 3 steps you can take immediately to help you get there."

My answer: On April 1, I will be lighter and smaller. I will be walking a minimum of 30 minutes 6 times a week. I will be doing tai chi twice a week. I will have finished knitting the hat I started before Christmas.

Today is the first day of a new year. It is a mild day - so mild in fact that Hubby rode his motorcycle to the city to meet for breakfast with some other bikers. While he was gone, I went for a walk. I have promised myself that I will walk at least 30 minutes 6 times a week. Besides, I am aiming for 10,000 steps daily. Leaving the house is my main problem. I figured if I didn't go today when it is not cold or icy, I will never be able to make myself go when it IS cold or icy. (I know that ice will keep me in but if I am dressed properly, cold should not.)

Believe it or not, there is a couple who were walking ahead of me. You can 'almost' see them at the top of the road. Notice also how the rain has taken away all our snow.
