I've been trying to be a little more active lately because I know its good for my health and I'm hoping it will help with my mental health as well. I enjoy walking so I'm trying to go for a nice walk each day. Its hard with Anna because she doesn't appreciate it as much as I do. If I wait until Ron gets home its usually dark and I don't like walking by myself after the sunsets. We live in a really pretty area so its not uncommon to see deer, turkeys, gopers and such. We've even seen a coyote walking down our street! If I'm still walking in the Fall, I'll have to rethink how I'm going to accomplish it each day with the sun rising late and setting so early. I've considered getting a manual treadmill because I hear they are small and easier to store. We'll see if this lasts that long though!

Hey Rachel,
It's good to hear from you again.
I too have found exercise to be extremely important. This is coming from someone who really hates exercise. I joined a Jazzercise class and it has been wonderful for my well being - physically and mentally.
It's nice because they have childcare - nothing special, but still an option since Brad is now flying 4 days/nights a week. It's amazing what 1 hour of sweating and laughing with other women will do!
