I find myself having a hard time getting to my blog and I am soory. This has been a very stress filled week and I am really trying to do my best. A very good friend of mine lost her father to cancer this week and of course it makes you reflect on things in your own life. Jim also lost a special cousin to death this week and we are dealing with arrangements for his services. But as always there are positvie things to keep me balanced. Dayne spent the night tuesday, so he walked some with Becky, Jax, Jim and I, not as far as usual, but thats ok. I should say Dayne rode his bike, he can ride without training wheels, now he needs to learn to stop. lol. Dawson has been a big comfort to me with his words of wisdom. As usual I am thankful for my family and their support, we are trucking along to Texas, even tho it is a few miles this week, I am moving. I need to mention Toby, Jax, Rose, Dayne and I walked to the library. Guess which dog got loose and made an entrance into the library? Until next time.

Jim and I went to the YMCA and exercised because of the rain. I like going to the Y with Jim, they will be closed next week for annual maintainance, so we are on our own next week. On Friday night Madison, Brady, Blake and I took a short stroll, but we did move. Saturday we played at the park with Dyan, G and gang. I enjoyed my weekend even tho I didn't get as much walking as I planned, I spent valuable time with my family. The great-nieces and nephews bring much needed joy to my life and I am very thankful for them. I have gone 64 miles and I need to pick up speed or I won't get any where, so I will work on that for now. Thanks for your support. Stay tuned for the next update.

I am sorry I haven't been blogging. I have been having some bad times and I am getting back on track. Becky, Mr'T', mom, Jax and I walked last night. It was nice to have mom join us, I enjoyed that and it did encourage me. Becky and I are getting back into our routine. I don't know what I would accomplish without her. Becky is my encouragement and she doesn't push me, not hard anyway. She lets me set the pace. If I don't feel like walking, she encourages me and lets me decide. I am trying really hard to get back to my routine. Jax is a big help, he misses his walk if I don't go. He needs out as much as me and he really enjoys it. When let him loose to run, he is such a joy to watch. He is usually wet from head to toe, but that is okay with me. Heather, thank you and I promise I won't give up. Madison is going to walk with me this weekend and I am looking forward to that, thanks Madison, see you Friday. Until next time. I will update you on my progress and where I am at.
