Back in the pool again

So today I finally go back in the the pool
(after about 2 months of skipping workouts)

It felt so good to have the cold against my skin. Cutting through the water with every stroke felt glorious. I am excited to get back in the pool again this week. And what makes me even happier is that I am excited to be swimming.

My Friend Lauren

How can this smile not make you smile.

Today I went down to San Jose with my friend Lauren to support her at the Rockn'Roll half marathon. Although a little disappointed with myself for not keeping up with my training to be able to run with her, I was so happy to be there to cheer her on and give her my support.

This picture is at 7:40 in the morning after an hour drive from the City... she always brings a smile to my face with her bright and cheery disposition.

The beginning of my blogging

Today I decided that I would start a
happy moments journal... so here it goes



I woke up this morning to these wonderful orange tulips my friend Shari gave me for my birthday last night. When I put them in water last night they were a little limp and sad but this morning they were bursting open, standing up straight and absolutely beautiful. They made me smile.

Tulips are one of my favorite flowers. Thanks Shari!
