July 6 of last year I began my blog.

I am really glad it’s still here, it’s been a real help to me and an aid at many times. These past few days I haven’t felt like I have much to say, but overall I’ve really enjoyed having a place to reflect and plan, share and listen too.

I plan to keep up the blog indefinitely, although this summer on vacation it might be harder to do.

I’m going to resist the urge to compare where I was a year ago to where I am now, since the scale hasn’t moved in the right direction over the year and there is no point beating myself up about that again. I think what’s really important is that I’m still here, still working on it, still learning how to make this into a lifestyle.
