Mother's Day....

Here we are ready to celebrate another Mother's Day. My family asked me what I wanted to do this Sunday. I thought and thought...and then I realized there is nothing I'd rather do on my special day than to sleep in a bit and then go to the gym with my husband.

This week has been so busy that we have only been able to work out once together. I really enjoy our time in the gym.

We don't really talk alot...but there are those great moments when we share a smile, or adjust one another's weights on the machine...or scratch an itch that's hard to reach.

This year has been one of the best of my life. I continue to work to sustain a healthy lifestyle and now my husband has joined me in this quest. We are both in our fifties..and we have never looked or felt better.
We are also much better people on the inside.
It just seems we are happier and more forgiving of one another's little habits that used to drive us crazy.

It could be maturity. It could be our longevity as a couple. But I suspect its because we now share even more goals. The biggest of which is to remain healthy as we can to enjoy our lives together for as long as we can.

This Mother's Day? Hold the chocolates. "Forgetabout" the trip to the casino buffet. A card and flowers will be nice...but ultimately a good 45 minute workout in our neighborhood gym with my hubby and a hug from my son will be the best gifts of all.
