Today I went to the Y. Yes, after taking about a month (or more) off from exercising, I am hoping to make this a habit again. I think it works best to schedule exercising. If you just try to exercise when you get a minute or two or three, you never really work it into your day – at least, I don’t! Something better always presents itself. So, I took a couple of classes – fitness and stretch which I really enjoy. At the end of the stretch class, we have a 5 minute meditation session. So my meditation consisted of thinking about my family – my uncommunicative son, my moody husband, and my daughter’s possibilities of getting deployed. When I finished and went out to my car, I had a missed call and voice message from my daughter. If I’d checked further, I would have noticed that not only did I have 1 missed call from Ashley, but I had 6 missed calls from her. So guess what she was calling to tell me??? Yep, she may be getting deployed in the next 2-3 weeks. The good part is it would be a 6-month deployment to HAITI! That would be so much better than Iraq or Afghanistan!! Plus, as an Infectious Disease Pediatrician, she would be doing what she was trained for. She wants this so bad. I hope it happens for her although I would miss her terribly. But six months in Haiti is so much better than a year or more in Afghanistan. Her boss is submitting her name to who ever is putting together the team. She hope to find out in a few days.
Here are a couple more of the Northwoods cards I will be doing in my class. My card is on top and the one underneath is from the Northwoods Stamp Board.
