I took this picture on May 5th. It was the last time I exercised.

On the way home from this amazing hike, a stop that was out of my normal routine ended up changing the course of our family's life.

That is a blog for later (I'm hoping this week).

But going through some pictures on my phone today, I found this flower, and it reminded me of my personal goals - the ones that compliment getting to live out the big life one - the daily little goals that keep me moving.

Time for exercise (at least the kind I've like doing) has been non-existent, and I haven't yet adjusted my routine to find other things I can do in the small amount of time I have left every day.

I know that May and June are out of the norm because we are trying to so much in a such a limited amount of time, but I also know that I feel the absence (of exercise, of 6 small meals, of water, of sleep) - and that my health is fading as a result.

In a word, I feel far too "soft".

I hope you enjoy this picture as much as I do, I think for awhile I'll make it my profile to help remind me.

Spark On!
