joe

joe (joseph) is the short donkey in front that kept charging towards me while i took pics walking backwards =) mary is the larger donkey following behind. i didn't trust them enough to turn my back on them.

**happy 4 year blog anniversary to me!!** i opened my blog with my first post back on jan 5 2008. i originally started because i was planning to quit smoking in 2008, and i knew having a daily project like a photo blog could keep me motivated and busy with other things. it worked, i quit smoking that year. next i decided to get off the couch, join a gym and work out. check. started walking and then began a running program. another success. blogging can be overwhelming at times, but it's just a little something each day. it taught me to not let the big tasks overwhelm me. do a little each day. it all adds up. with exercise or studying or anything else. it doesn't always have to be 100%, just show up and make an effort. then work to improve. and keep at it. wow, 4 years!! here's to 4 more!
