Another one of my goals this New Year is to live each day to its fullest and to have no regrets. I hope to spend as much time as I can with my family and friends. Good quality time like you don't know if there will be a tomorrow time. I mentioned in an earlier post that I have been working at Driggs as an Aide in the first grade. Another one of my responsibilities at school is to meet a 4th grade boy who has muscular dystrophy each morning and take him to class. For some reason today when his grandma was getting him out of the car and lifting him into his wheelchair that (since it was a snowy morning) was now covered in snow it just hit me that one day he was fine and then the next he was diagnosed with a disease that is out of his control. His world and his families world has forever changed. No running around with friends playing soccer, jumping on the tramp, hiking in the mountains, just doing active boy things etc. I really admire his grandma for all she does for him. It sure is a lot of work lifting him out of the car and taking care of someone that has no ability to walk. I want to be active with my kids and do fun things together...because TODAY we can. So if you are debating starting that new exercise program...DO IT. You just never know what tomorrow brings. I know I sure take my health for granted.
PS. We are in our 2nd week of INSANITY...and we LOVE IT =)

I am pretty sure you already live your life like that, but this is a nice post for the rest of us that need reminding!
That's great, Em, really really great. Does that mean come visit a sister in the middle of the US??
If you buy me a ticket I would be more then happy to come and visit =)
I completely agree! My nephew has muscular dystrophy along with other disabilities and I watch how hard his life is. My life and my kids lives are taken for granted on a daily basis. Thanks for the reminder.
Just what I needed today. Thanks Em! You are such a positive friend and an AWESOME example.
I love that you and Mike are doing your Insanity DVD's together. How cool is that?!! I love it!
