Doing what we want to do is a lot more fun that doing what we have to do. Air Force Girl is swimming almost every day. When she was on swim team we couldn’t even bribe her to swim at practice. But now, because for almost a year she couldn’t swim she realized just how much she likes it. Now it is fun again, now it is something she wants to do.
I have been looking at work out alternatives here at Gpa’s. There is the Y and they have a great parks and rec here. Both of which are cheaper than Curves and have more opportunities. I think I will probably go with the parks and rec, they have swimming, aerobics, weights, yoga to name a few. It is something that I want to do.
Being here with Gpa is something that I want to do. I miss my home and Hubby and Army Girl very much. I know that in the end we will not regret this decision.
Funny story: Gpa and I were discussing celery and its benefits for fiber which lead to the following story. Gpa lived on a farm and they used to feed the cows lots of fibrous foods to keep them “loose.” This would make the cows produce more milk. Gpa’s oldest brother Robert was milking cows, when one of the cows let loose, poor uncle Robert received an earful. He hightailed it to the shower in the milk house and was there quite a while trying to clean himself up. When he finally emerged from the shower he was greeted with much hilarity and more than one “can you hear me?” Gpa says Uncle Robert was one of those happy people who never really got mad.
I hope you all have a day doing what is fun, and if you do what you have to do, try to make it fun.
Happy thoughts for a happy day.
