R.I.P. Aunt R.L.

We lost a wonderful woman in our family on the 16 of February 2011. Aunt Rita you will truely be missed.

The passing of my Aunt has hit me a lot harder emotionally then I was expected given that I had not talked nor seen her in a few years. I wish now we had been closer and talked more. There is a lot of stuff I would like to have asked her. This has made me realize that even though my family has been through&some tough time we should stay in contact. I can't bring everyone together but I can do my best to make sure we still talk to each other in some way.

The passing of a loved one is never easy and dealing with the grief is never easy to deal with. I am usually the one who stays strong in this time and usually the shoulder that others lean on. However I am finding that thats not the case this time. I don't know what to do with my emotions...I feel like crying, screaming, and lashing out in anger.
My Aunt Karyn had it right that we need an " Easy Button " during times such as these.

Strep Throat and Sleeping

I feel so bad that I am not keeping up with posting to my blog but it is not the only thing that I have not been keeping up with. I have been slacking on my workouts too. I just have not had the energy, motivation, or have I been in the right mood. I went to the doctor Monday and they told me I had Strep Throat was not what I wanted to hear. So on antibiotics and I feel like I have done nothing but sleep. I slept practically all day Monday and a good bit of the day Tuesday, I can't wait to start feeling a whole lot better being sick suck.

I have been reading more which is a good thing. I noticed recently that people are doing these challenges on either reading books or there are some who are doing a 30 day picture post. This sounds like something I need to be doing. I want to know how many of you are doing this and where did you find your challenge information at. I am thinking about starting one or more of these type challenges this Sunday but I wanted some input from other people first. I was also wondering if anyone would be interested in sending me some encouraging words of some sort to get my mind onto doing my workouts and maybe even starting my next blanket project.
