We should be having a day or so of “winter thaw”, but the opposite is the only forecast ahead.  More cold temps and snow moving in. Oh Yay 🙁

This morning, I was achy. It shouldn’t have been due to the 1/2 hour of yoga last night. You see I grabbed one of the CD’s from Kripalu and went downstairs to the yoga room. I was doing yoga quite regularly a year ago, then Shane came along and I sort of gave it up. I do daily stretches however no vinyasas. Last night was a fairly easy power routine.  Where was I going with this?.. oh yeah… I was achy this morning. I decided to forego the running initially and do the Elliptical.  After 20 minutes, I hopped on the treadmill to finish 15 minutes running.

It’s inauguration day for our President Elect. By noon, he will be our new President.  We need change. We have elected to Office a younger man to lead us, to look upon for reassurance.  The situation can only get better but it will be a fight, a very tough fight and we need to be very smart and strong to survive. 

Go into this Tuesday with faith and courage.  Look to a brighter future.
