It is even harder to get back into that perfect groove you were once in (that's what i'm trying to do now).<br /><br />If there is one think I am 100% sure about you my dear friend, is no matter what you set your mind to, you do it...and do it well! You may feel that you fell backwards in 2009, but I saw something else. You rose to a new level with your parents and you handled what life was giving you. You still worked out, even if it may not been as much as you'd have liked, but you didn't stop completely. You are one of the strongest people I know, and I have never thought less of you.<br /><br />Yes, here's to a balanced 2010!ColeC https://www.blogger.com/profile/15118024502702720090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27612005.post-73865492170592926972010-01-08T15:58:47.729-08:002010-01-08T15:58:47.729-08:00You certainly gave me plenty to think about!

Getting old takes courage when you do it well (e.g. taking care of your health and keeping friends and interests going in your life) and it's a NIGHTMARE when you do it poorly. :(<br /><br />More balance in 2010 for both of us!lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11495166674226656034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27612005.post-61172379308817661812010-01-08T13:48:32.505-08:002010-01-08T13:48:32.505-08:00I can really relate to your comment about being in...I can really relate to your comment about being in reactive mode last year. That was completely my year - react to this crisis or that crisis. My best laid plans basically went right out the window.<br /><br />I realize now that I cannot control life, especially health issues. I should have learned that lesson with my mother's illness. But it has taken this round of dealing with my in-laws declining health that I truly realized the frustration of caring for elderly parents.<br /><br />Even when you are not the one doing their cooking and cleaning, it's so hard just to take the lead on filling out a gazillion forms, hiring home health care workers, scoping out assisted living or nursing homes and making sure they have reliable transportation. I cannot imagine doing it all plus raising two teenagers.<br /><br />Here's to a more balanced 2010!<br /><br />Anyway - I'm rambling... sorry!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27612005.post-60099299263452692842010-01-08T10:11:51.219-08:002010-01-08T10:11:51.219-08:00Whatever you decide to do, you will do what is rig...Whatever you decide to do, you will do what is right for you and others, because you always do.<br /><br />GOOD LUCK.<br /><br />:-) :-).<br /><br />MattAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
