Happy Birthday, Alex!

Alex is 8 today!  Birthdays are a big thing and need special attention (I think so, anyway).  And, for Alex, this year meant a long weekend of celebrating. 
 
Thursday evening, a visit from Uncle Eric and Aunt Maria and his baby cousin.  Then we had a great weekend with my family down for a visit from Indiana.  Then we went and spent the afternoon at Stone Mountain.  Later today he'll get to go golfing after school with Pawpaw.  He has his golf clothes all picked out and ready to go.  He loves golf!







This is us after we hiked to the top of Stone Mountain.
Love you, Alex!

    I've been to Stone Mountain when I was younger and cannot wait to take my own family on a vacation there one day :)

    Thanks, ladies for visiting my blog and for your comments. Stone Mountain is fun...my favorite time to visit, though, is at Christmas.

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 have come to realize that those that take precious time to invest in me deserve better from me. 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...

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...
