I Love Life!

I love life. When I first came home I was a bit depressed and just wanted to get away from everyone, blah blah blah . It's all in a past post if you wish to catch up, haha. Anyway, now...I'm so happy! I've lost almost 10 pounds. And it's funny, because I actually look like I didn't lose anything unless you look really close, ya know. But I can tell that everything is tighter and I just feel healthier.

I've also been stretching a lot lately to get back into really really good shape so I can start doing gymnastics again. Of course not all 4 events, but getting back into the gym and do the "gymnast workout". I'm very excited! Watching gymnastics during the Olympics really made me miss it. I actually had a dream last night that I was competing again! It was soooo weird. I had a different coach but I was competing against my old team, all grown up. And it was funny because we get to warm-ups in my dream and I'm starting to warm up on the floor exercise and I realize that I hadn't practiced or learned and of the routines! Floor, beam, or bars! So he was all, okay don't panic because I'm going to figure it out and let you know. And watch the people in front of you and just do what they do! So, I lined up for the vault with my old teammates at my level (who were still on my team and still the same age we were back then) and then I realized I hadn't done a vault since I quit gymnastics almost 10 years ago! Then I woke up...then I went back to sleep and tried to remember my bars routine..which I did, somehow, remember!

Haha, okay that was super random. But I thought it was hilarious! Anyhow, I am just so happy right now. I almost dread going back to school because I don't want to lose this, but I don't think I will. I just have to remember to take that time for myself no matter how busy I get. Some people think that I should remember to have a "social life" but right now, for me I think it is more important to make sure I work in that time to focus on myself, such as a good workout or a soothing bath or escaping into a really great book.

Anyway, my mom and I are going out to dinner and then going swimming at the youth center tonight. It's the little things that make life great! :)

Peace, Love, and Patience...
