I Refuse to Do Nothing!
I REFUSE to turn my back and try and act like all is well,
I REFUSE to stay unchanged, to wait another day to die to myself,
I REFUSE to make one more excuse.
It's time for me to follow through and do what I was made to do
... I could choose not to move - But I REFUSE!

2013 goals -
Reduce, reduce, reduce.... reduce weight, reduce clutter, reduce debt. All easier said than done. :)
I've been married 38 years to the same terrific (and patient) guy. We have 4 young adults (2 boys and 2 girls), as well as three granddaughters (1 yr, 3yrs & 7 yrs) who I watch full-time.
I am so thankful that I found this website! I have been in a lethargic fog for the past 8 years, and browsing this site literally SPARKED me awake. I am SOOO looking forward to my journey.
There is so much that I've wanted to do (organize and paint, finally straighten out the garden, finish my quilting UFO's, and most of all, get healthy). I feel old, and I'm tired of it. Hopefully, losing weight will help my heels and joints. I want energy, and I can tell already after a month here, this will give me my life back. No more sitting on the sidelines!

Bucket list since Sparking - did horseback riding, Segways (thoroughly love), and underground tour at Disney. Walked my 1st 5k 11/19/11; ran 9/16/12. Want to improve on time, Disney 5K would be a nice goal Feb 2014.
Add to bucket list - shoot a gun, do a zip line, get good with hooping to do tricks, juggle, learn Hawaiian, and go to Hawaii with my DH.
** DH fighting double cancer (prostate metastasized to bones). Hopefully on God's list is 37 MORE years married to DH.
