    These pics were WONDERFUL and it looks like you have much to be thankful for in 2010. Stone mountain looks like a place we'd like to go (we're hikers). And Alaska is lovely. We want to go back someday and let the kids experience it. Oh, and...okay, just a wee bit of schoolroom envy going on here. ;-) As for the southernmost point of the USA, did I ever tell you about the time I went just a bit further than anyone else when I fell OFF the southernmost point of the USA? Oh yes I did too, lol.
    Blessings,
    Toni

    Fabulous photographs to remember the special moments of 2011.

    We like to travel as well! Looks like you and your family have been blessed with many fun travels to some very neat places. Someday, we hope to go to Alaska.

    Our church runs an Upward program which the children play in as well. No basketball yet, though - not until the gym is finished being built (maybe next year!).

home of the Braves

As a metro Atlanta resident, it seems almost a requirement to go to a Braves game to continue living here.  I grew up watching baseball and loving the game...and have been to a few games in St. Louis, Cincinnati, Detroit...and of course, Atlanta.  The problem for me going to a Braves game is purely mental...having been a Mets and Cardinals fan for years, I just haven't the love necessary for the Braves to call me a fan. However, as with many things in life that I haven't particularly enjoyed over the years, my boys make it so worth my time and heart.  I go watch the Braves because I love my boys...and my boys and I love baseball.  Well, they love what they know of the game...still in training, but getting the hang of the lingo and SOP's of a baseball fan rather well. There are a few things that remain the same from stadium to stadium..."the wave" (Braves' attendees do not always get into this, which is very di...

it's not about me

I reminded myself of this recently. It's not about me at all, this wellness journey I am on to a healhier version of myself. Not at all. Never has been, really. It is about the people who invest in me. My husband. My boys. My family. My friends. They all share themselves with me. When I am not at my best, I'm not giving them a good return for their investment. They get the tired looks, the lack of energy excuses, and the wimpy "maybe next time" cop outs.

I need to adhere to the direction given on any flight I've ever been on that goes something like this: make sure your own oxygen mask is properly secured before helping others. If I don't take care of myself first, my ability to care for others effectively diminishes quickly. My choosing clean eating, drinking enough water, and exercising on a daily basis is how I put on my mask first. Am I perfect at meetin...
