That's what you may be wondering about me, since I have been so long away from blog writing. I am happy to report that I am finally doing OK. I'm over the bronchitis and related ailments I had over the Christmas holiday, and I've started paying more attention to eating foods that are right for my body. Holiday eating this year derailed my gluten-free, dairy-free diet for a while, and my overall health suffered. I've read that 70 percent of our immune cells are in our gut, so it makes some sense to me that if our tummies are ailing, we will too.
I just celebrated my 44th birthday in late December, and I'm looking ahead to my 45th. I want to make it a fabulous celebration, so I am setting goals to make healthy choices every day to be fit to celebrate my mid-life milestone. Getting back to running and stretching regularly has been my challenge this past week, and I'm happy to report I met my goal of running three times this week. It was painful the first few days, but I got into a good rhythm today and had a very satisfying stretch afterwards. I took a picture of myself post-run, ruddy-faced but happy, to remind myself how good it feels to move my body.
Now, I'm wondering, "RUOK"?

just wondering - could this be the beginning of a 52 self-portrait project for you? this picture is wonderful, you do look content and happy.
so you've laid hands on the new camera? yay!
Hi Pat! I am so sorry to hear you have been sick. You've been on my mind; I am glad you are on the mend. Happy belated birthday! xo Sarah
Happy belated birthday wishes. Mine is coming up in a matter of days. I passed the 40's long ago, sigh.
I am glad you are feeling so much better. Your picture is fabulous.
Deciphering the darling note...how about:Are You O.K? Sounds good to me. You'll have to keep that love letter in a very safe place. It's a treasure.
Good morning Pat !
I didn't know you were sick, poor friend, I'm sorry. You look to feel better now and you can be so proud of all your healthy resolutions (food and physical fitness). For sure, you'll be on top form to blow out your 45 candles ! :)
Glad to hear Santa spoiled you with a new camera ! I'm sure you'll make lot of amazing captures ...
Thanks for sharing this sweet and happy portrait of you. Seeing you always bring me good vibes ! Happy birthday again !
Pat I'm so sorry to have missed your birthday! Happy belated birthday friend. I have missed you and wondered if you were okay, glad to hear that you are now. I love your son's note to you - sweet! I try and stay gluten free too but have remained derailed since Christmas. There was no way I would turn down chile verde burritos while I was back home, I dream of them. And when it's cold out I tend to increase the carbs.
Running is so good, glad you're feeling better, bronchitis is hard to kick.
I love seeing your face, thanks for popping in to smile at us!
