My Thoughts

I have been going back and forth since my son has been in first grade trying to figure out how he learns. My son is very intelligent and shows advanced signs of learning, but when at school does not perform. WHY?

Now, staying healthy is the goal but now I can’t help but to think of all the other positives that will manifest from this wonderful challenge. Regular exercise will relax and clear my mind, release endorphins (great for many other things), and make me lose weight. I would love to see myself in my old 3/4 dresses. I j
