Peace


I suddenly feel a strange sense of peace. Not all the time, mind you, but peace is the overall pervasive feeling in my life right now. Maybe I'm accepting things the way they are--of course I have the usual desire to change the negative, but I'm suddenly seeing that certain things can't be changed, and certain things will change when the time is right.

I'm happy.

Updates: 37 and 4 Months

A few updates now that I am 37 and 4 months:  

Osteoporosis  

At the ripe old age of 37 I am on daily injections for osteoporosis (for those of you who are about to say "see, I told you to stop being a vegetarian!" it is from a past medical condition and not from my previous vegan and current octo-lavo vegetarian diet.:) and they seem to be working.  I have been officially cleared to (finally!) start back at the gym and I have learned that 1) I am way out of shape, and 2) it is going to take a way long time to get back into shape!  But the good news is that I am back to my old ways of kickboxing and step aerobics, even if I am a bit slow and sore three times per week.  (I thought about pretending to the other class members who did not quit for two years that I had a baby and that's why I stopped going, but I figured at some point I'd have to produce an actual baby, and wasn't sure how to go about that since I do not, in fact, have any babies anymore...)

Mama Mia!

I saw Mama Mia!, the movie, with my friend Erin a few weeks ago.  Um...why didn't anyone ever tell me that many of Erasure's songs were actually Abba covers?  I have known Abba's songs all of this time!  Needless to say I got a kick out of the movie, immediately bought the sound track, and am now seeing the play where, I hear, the actors encourage singing and dancing from audience members.

Turning 38

It's official- I don't care about turning 38.  It really is all about the 7's.  Isn't that strange?  Beware of the 7's!    

That's all for now...more updates soon!
