Yes Woman!

I want to do everything! Now that I have made up my mind to be a better partner and to get moving....I am and I want to do it all. Well, not all....but I'm willing to try. I had a seriously full weekend, I mowed the front yard, I power washed the back patio and the patio furniture, helped with laundry, cleaned the house, and lot's more. When I was asked....I said Yes! Instead of being crabby and irritated that I have to help, I am just helping. It feels so good to not be resentful, and to let go of that feeling, because there is absolutely no reason to be resentful. In fact, I think my other half should be resentful of me and my lack of effort.

Now for the getting moving goal....I am so excited about giving a half marathon a try. There is one happening here on the Sunday of Labor Day so I have the whole summer to get myself walking and then I will be able to do it. The other thing that I really want to do is the Danskin Mini Triathalon in Seattle. It is in August, so I don't think I will be able to do it this summer but that is definetly on my Bucket List. I am looking for anybody to join me on these pursuits. One of the coolest things about my weekend is that my partner bought me a bike! I bought a cruiser years ago, but for riding up hills I needed a real bike that could shift. So, we went and looked at some bikes and I got one! I got a chance to go for a ride yesterday and it felt great!

Here is my question for everyone....how do you share these insights? Well, the one thing I can say is that it is okay to have flaws, but you need to accept them, take responsibility for them and then do something about them. I keep telling my students, you did it....own up to it, apologize, learn from it, and move on.
