Encouragement to Follow

Well, family, I never really thought of anything profound to say here about yesterday's significance.  Seven years have come and gone, we've made it, and I love all of you.  Heather did a great job in her post saying all this, and explaining I think how we all felt.

Looking to the future, to the our eighth year without Dad, we've got more big stuff on the way.  A lot of fitness goals being met.  Some new experiences on the horizon.  Hopefully more good times and memories made.

I've decided to do something over the next week to serve as encouragement for us all.  Starting tomorrow morning I'll pull a person's name out of a hat and write a post about that person.  Hopefully everyone can pitch in with additional comments about that person.  It's just a simple way to encourage one another, to share our pride and joy in each other, and to spice up the blog a bit (starting to drag a little again).  Hopefully, as the next few weeks drag on, as we get further away from the start of our New Year's resolutions, this can serve as encouragement to continue living lives of meaning and importance, in whatever form that takes.  Like Hannah said last week, we are healthiest when we are loving ourselves, in whatever way that needs to take shape.  And it's always easier to love yourself when you know you're not alone in that love.
