Step One

 I want to write again - but I'm not sure about what.

I want to up my exercise regimen - as the two times a week strength training class isn't enough. 

I want a lot more things - but maybe that's what I'll write about...soon.

Because step one is to just sit down at the computer.

Which I have done. Go me. It's 8:45am, I can do this for a few minutes - and celebrate that after I got one kid on the bus, another kid in carpool, the dishwasher started and the counter clean, instead of sitting down, I went downstairs and walked on the treadmill for 12 minutes. I told myself 10 - but found my blog book from 2012 - where KK had just gotten to pigtails, Bubba was in SpEd preschool and we were moving for the first time.

To think of my life since in those last 10 years. It's humbling, unreal and extremely special. 

I'll be reading a few stories to my kids tonight at dinner.

Which I already got out of the freezer and is currently defrosting.

Anyway - I walked for 12 minutes which wasn't a ton, but it was 1,700 steps - all because I chose to put tennis shoes on.

Step one - Confucius was right.

And for giggles - almost 10 years ago to the day - my now-hair-farmer - just got to pig tails!
