Living more

As I'm becoming less (physically), I'm living more. Today I mowed the lawn--on a riding mower. Brad had to finish up and do the edges and stuff, but it was so much fun and so out of my previous comfort zone. I was also out there picking up twigs blown down from our tree in the last storm with the kids. It was not physically hard at all. These are the kinds of things that 58 pounds ago I would not have participated in. It really felt good.

I wore my contacts for a few hours today, too. I need to get used to them again in order to wear them all the time.

Here I am mowing the lawn. The look on my face in the closer-up one is totally genuine. If you click on the picture, you can see it better. I wasn't hamming it up for the camera. I had just turned a curve and was laughing at the fun of it all.

That first of two new pictures on this post is now my new favorite picture of you, Honey.

When I click on it to see the close up, I can't help but laugh and smile at the look on your face.
