I stand resolute


I have to admit, getting back into blogging is a frightening proposition. My hiatus was unwarranted, and far too long. I bear no bruises from my blogger past that I must heal prior to re-entry, nor do I feel as thought there is less political/life news to report. I have cold feet about starting a relationship with my blogger-self again. I remain unsure whether 'tis better to dip my toe in or cannonball; splashing opinions and nonsense everywhere. Thus I have developed a summer resolution list. Such a list is similar to that of a new year's resolution list but lacks the guilt associated with minor slip ups. I also can guarantee that dieting, drinking less wine, swearing less and/or thinking before I speak will not be gracing the list. So far I have: a. blogging daily b. doing Pilates for at least 20 minutes a day to work on my 'powerhouse' to avoid backaches.

Shockingly, I have been more vigilant to my pilates vow. I have a nifty tool called a 'magic circle'; a term to which I scoffed until I realized how very magic it truly is. This seemingly innocuous piece of metal and foam is a revolutionary motivator that reminds me to keep my shoulders plugged, stomach in and legs together. If only it was socially acceptable to bring such a toy into bars and other situations where proper posture seems to slip with each delicious sip of wine (which, I remind you, will not be given up this summer in an attempt to be 'healthier').

I am glad to see you back! And for the record, I can't with confidence comment on the health benefits of pilates, but I do know for FACT the many health benefits that can be derived from wine consumption.
