SEASONS CHANGE~~~

It has been a while since I was here, so very busy. That is a good thing but not always, eh?

Well, it is surely winter-like these days where I live, though we have only had a dusting of snow, but, my favorite light was shining brightly today and that had been the first time I had seen the sun in days. Gloomy, rainy, windy, cold, and, just that time when you feel like hibernating... Still, life goes on and you do what you have to do...

It is a dark time of year, I am drinking hot chocolate, and, I have not been around much, wonder if I should change the title of this site to Dark Chocolate, Dreary, and, me??? Hahaha... I had my green tea today and now I am drinking dark hot chocolate. I buy those big bars of bittersweet dark chocolate and add 3 squares to a mug of 2% milk and microwave for 2 minutes and 35 seconds. It is full of antioxidants, calcium, Vitamin A and D, and, man, does it take the edge off, plus it is delicious, with less sugar and barely any artificial additives, so, that is my evening drink these days... Actually, I like it year round, but, I have to cut back on this. If you stopped and added all those squares up throughout a year, that is way too much chocolate going on.... Hahaha...

The Holidays are rapidly approaching, only 35 shopping days as of today~ Where does the time go to? Seems like just weeks ago it was 80 degrees....

Do you realize how very much there is to learn about blogging and monetizing those blogs effectively? It is like learning science of an unusual nature. Who would have thought that it was so intricate, so diverse, so full of it? Besides all the technical aspects, research, marketing, and other similar aspects, we have to learn who and what to be leery of. There are so many shameful hoaxes and scams it is unbelievable. And, some are so good, that you have no idea until it is too late. Yes, I am learning, and, becoming paranoid all the while. Fun stuff though, because I like the challenge...

Starting Monday I am going to begin a winter workout program. I have to get into top form and stay that way. I have a photo engagement on Jan. 19Th and I want to be at the best I can be. No sense in paying a pro photographer if you are not going to like what you see, eh? Oh, life is so funny sometimes. We make decisions, some based on necessity and the rest are based on self-esteem....

I really want to study and practice Tai Chi, but, for now will stick with Yoga, Pilate's, and, the elliptical trainer, plus crunches, lunges, squats, and, any arm routine I can... Weights, some, but, nothing too heavy. I do know that I have to do this and I have to stick to it, and, actually, if you can stick to a routine in the winter months, the warmer months will be a breeze...

That is my update for the time being. Having so much to do, my posts might be sporadic, but, I will get back on track soon.

In the meantime, everyone live life to the fullest, embrace the moment now, and, cherish all that which touches you. Stay healthy, fit, and, above all, happy... love and peace...
