I think I might be crazy...

It has been quite a long time since I have posted anything. My life is pretty boring, and I was the only one reading about my boring life. :) Oh well I am going to start blogging again. At least I will have a record of some exciting things going on in my life.

I have wanted to start exercising, and take control of my health. I only have the one life and I want to LIVE it! Also my friend Tracy just lost her 33 year old brother. That really hit home for several reasons. I had met him a few times and he was a great guy, my friend was hurting, and that seriously could happen to me. I am only 31 years old and I feel so out of shape and generally just blah. So here is where crazy comes in. Tonight I completed my first night of Couch to 5k (C25K.) Basically you run for 90 seconds and walk for 60 seconds several times for a total of 20 minutes. Then you also warm up for 5, and cool down for 5. I decided to do it at night because I didn't want anyone to see how sad it would be. lol So did I make the whole 90 seconds each time I had to run..no. But you know what you have to start somewhere. I am really bad at not being motivated enough to stick something out, but I want this to be different. I am also hoping this might help out some on the infertility front. I will end with a great quote I found.

“You must do the thing you think you cannot do.” - Eleanor Roosevelt

Hope & Patience

I read several (really way too many) and one of my favorites is Mo'Joy. I have been reading her blog since before her sweet nephew Jake passed away. She has the cutest little girls, and is so creative!! Her post yesterday was about choosing a word of the year. She got the idea from Ali Edwards whose blog I also adore. I would love for my word to be Hope... I am hopeful after waiting almost two years this would be our year to be blessed with a baby. I also have so many dear friends’ that are faced with Infertility, and I hope this would be their year as well.

But I have realized my word should be Patience. It is unfortunately not our time but His time. Wiki defines Patience as: the state of endurance under difficult circumstances, which can mean persevering in the face of delay or provocation without becoming annoyed or upset; or exhibiting forbearance when under strain, especially when faced with longer-term difficulties. It is also used to refer to the character trait of being steadfast.

So I have claimed Patience as my word of the year!
