Happy Birthday to ALL the birthdays!
Aren't letters after your name a trip? They say you worked hard and you are QUALIFIED to do this thing!
It took me quite a while for that to sink in; in fact some days I still have to remind myself that I do really have skills and that I am not just doing what is obvious.

Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

Hey crazycanuck: Ever considered New Mexico. I'm sure it's bright but cold. Oh heck, you're from Alberta.
We went at end of Oct. and loved it (that was few years ago). The Southwest Indian + Spanish influence is so unlike anywhere in Canada. Also some great rock mountain/cliff formations near Santa Fe..Ghost Ranch area where Georgia O'Keefe, the Painter got inspired.
(Reminds me that I ought to do a blog post about the area..)My Personal blog on cycling & other favourite passions.

Took a step today, a big one for me. Contacted a personal trainer and hope to start working out again very soon.
Just the bit of swimming and bike riding I'm able to do isn't satisfying the urge to work out. I've spent half my life in a gym and I miss it! Found a guy with a Masters in Exercise Phys. who specializes in working with people with injuries... wish me luck!!!

Yayyyy Pax, this is good to hear! It is good to be able to get back to something you know that you enjoy, and even better you found someone who can help you get there while decreasing your chances for injury!

Good for you Pax! I did the same thing a couple of months ago. I'm really liking getting back into a fitness routine.

I meet with him tomorrow after work. I so hope they can create a plan that will allow me to work out with aggravating the old injuries.

Good luck, Pax! There's your mid-life indulgence.

Good point!! I was chatting with my honey yesterday and realized the change I'm wanting: Originally Posted by OakLeaf

I'm really looking at the next couple of years as a segue from eating out/drinking a lot/spending money on tons of wine... to working out/eating right/spending some money on health and spa services.
