Is it me, or is it just hard?

Why is it so hard to start up an old habit? Not any old habit. A good habit. It isn't hard to restart bad habits like biting my nails, waiting till the last minute to get things done, or yelling at the kids. But to restart a good habit is nearly torture!

For over a year I went the gym regularly. It was just part of my schedule. Then something interrupted the routine and to get back on track has been nothing but trouble.

So this week I've decided that I have to give it another shot. I've read that it takes 28 days to get a habit embedded in your routine/schedule. I hope that applies to reembedding too.

So wish me luck, and good luck to any of you that might be trying to get back into a 'good habit' of something.

Yahoo, Spring!

It's here!!

The grass is green again and the rain keeps falling. It's Spring!!!

Soon we'll have pretty flowers everywhere. I love to see the little red tips of the peonies poking up through the soil & mulch. There is nothing like the smell of the house on the first day you can throw open the windows.

Something else that yells spring to our family is Udder's & Putter's at Young's Dairy. We love miniature golf. We aren't that good, and we don't usually even keep score, but we do have a blast.

Justin is our master golfer, but last night Layne, Mitch & myself got a hole in one. Josie almost got one, except it was on the NEXT hole from the one we were playing at the moment. That pretty much sums up how her golf game went. Todd did pretty good too. Kept to par most holes.

There is something about playing a game with the family. Something about watching other families enjoying time together. Something about the smell of cut grass, a subtle hint of cow manure, and a clear sky that reminds all of us of Grandma & Grandpa's house. And last, but not least, the treat at the end. Some yummy ice cream from the dairy or a yummy slush from Sonic's.

Happy Spring Everyone!
