This New Year I’m gonna dispense with the resolutions, the commitments, the planning, the idle chatter.
Let’s just start, begin, commence, break ground, establish, impel, kindle, undertake, take the plunge, initiate, instigate (ooh, I like that one), launch, actuate, pioneer, sally forth, get the ball rolling, cause, do, create, introduce, originate, activate, go ahead, inaugurate, light out, trigger, mobilize, spark.
It’s a clean slate. How will you start?

A year of blessings in disguise and otherwise:
Aching muscles
Adolescence
Missing the cut
Making the cut
A friend lost and regained
Skinned knees
My father’s wisdom
My mother’s optimism
Children, growing up
A missed connection
A race won
A race lost
10 fingers and 10 toes
Thankful for them all,
Missy Park

-Use your outside voice
-A pull up
-Change your own tire
-Hold your ground
-Take the last piece
-Grab the brass ring
-Be a bad mother, just for a minute
-Catch a fish
-Hike or run – by yourself
-Learn to make a real fire; the kind with kindling
-Laugh really loud
-Something, everyday

The sight, the feel, the strength of a muscle where you never knew one existed.
The confidence born of physical competence.
The camaraderie that comes form working, winning, and losing together as a team.
The courage to put it all on the line, and then do it again.
The experience of surviving and thriving after a failure…even a very public one.
The unmatched joy of a race well-run, a game well-played or a victory hard-fought.
So this summer, get your daily dose of vitamin S followed by a chocolate chaser.
Doctor’s orders,

My definition of insanity…
1) Competitive team sports for kids under 10
2) Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome
3) Any diet with one ingredient
4) 24-hour “news”
5) Our tax code
6) “Gifted” children… How do they know?
7) Thin thighs in thirty days
8) High heels
What’s your definition of insanity?
