Lately ...

Lately ... I have been counting down the days until Spring Break. Not because I hate my job, not because I'm sick of my kids, but because I'm so excited for nicer weather, hanging out with friends, and not really having an agenda. Just going with the flow and lovin' it! I will hang here in Fort Worth, spend a day or two in Dallas, a day in San Marcos, and a few days in Austin. Guess I'll be making my rounds.

Lately ... I have been reminded that I have some absolutely wonderful friends. The ones that you know you can count on no matter what. The ones that will genuinely help you in any way that they can. The ones that make you see a side of something that you didn't see before. I got to spend some time with a dear friend this past weekend. We could talk forever. She helped me look at some hard situations in a whole new light, and I'm so grateful. Where would we be without friends?

"Even though we've changed and we're all finding our own place in the world, we know that when the tears fall and the smiles spread across our face, we'll come to each other, because no matter where this crazy world takes us, nothing will ever change so much to the point that we're not still friends."

Lately ... I have still been working out quite a bit and am loving it. As hard as it is to go to the gym after teaching all day, once I'm there, I feel so great. A good run, for me, is about as energizing as having 3 or 4 cups of coffee. I'm not training for any marathons, or trying to lose 20 pounds, I'm just doing it to feel good! And it's working! Okay, maybe the fact that summer is right around the corner does help with the motivation :)

Lately ... I have been busy. I have been working hard and working out. I have been hanging out with friends and loving it. I have gained new outlooks on situations and continued to remember "nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending." Life is good :)
