JULY 1st tomorrow is Shay's 40th birthday. Today is the seventh day of my new healthy life routines. I have pedalled every day for a week and written down everything I eat. I have written and reviewed and edited and I am looking for opportunities for exercise and creativity. A lot of things are changing this year, my new half century is beginning to blossom from the fertilizer of my first half century. Today is the first day of the chapter book challenge and the second campnanowrimo and I expect I will write a lot of words this afternoon to launch myself into the new challenges. First I am off to the AG centre to do some toning and flexibility exercises with my friend Helen.
