Life is funny, sometimes.

I believe I have come to a turning point in my life.  I feel like a cloud has been lifted and I am enjoying life even more lately.  I am making some changes (for the better), and damn, if it isn't working in my favor.  Here's a few things that I've come up with.  My new motto is, "if you can't beat them join them".  Which means I've given in to my husband's hobby of biking, racing and what not.  I have signed up for a 5k in May.  I'm not a runner, but would like to complete a 5k before I die.  I hope it doesn't kill me in the process.  So, I guess.... the added exercise is good for me.  Hey, what do you know... exercise is good.  I'm nicer and happier which means everyone else is too.

Another thing... Chuck and I have decided to take a different approach to parenting.  Talking nice and no yelling.  gah... We need to keep reminding each other about that one.  It's not easy, but it's working.

So, there are my "ah-ha" moments so far.  I'll keep you updated on the rest when I have them.
