We only have a small gym and it is too far away.<br />Like you, I tend to let my sneakers and pavement do the work though mine is for walking.<br />Enjoy 2011.Arkansas Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156004753267665579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-10779065043176557682011-01-04T08:21:29.660-06:002011-01-04T08:21:29.660-06:00I try to avoid the dreaded resolutions as breaking...I try to avoid the dreaded resolutions as breaking them will lead to feelings of failure for me. I do hope for more time up north and have wanted to take a solo road trip for a few years now, mainly through northern New England and New York, camping and hiking along the way. I'm not certain that can happen though. Logistics.<br /><br />I also avoid any kind of new gym membership this time of year as the gym tends to fill up with those NY Resolution folks. I did visit one prior to the holidays to check it out and almost bought a membership before realizing that it was almost the new year.<br /><br />I am just taking things day by day and going from there. Taking what I can get and sharing what I can on the blog.<br /><br />Happy New Year to you!Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04469229581743468376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-68257538440080622162011-01-03T07:26:02.497-06:002011-01-03T07:26:02.497-06:00Smartmouth broad,

They were all students, but one. all week we went to church with the guests from Taizé to attend a service at 8.30 then we had a meeting in smaller groups and we discussed several subjects like: trust, joy, compassion, forgiving...Then we had coffee and after that the guests went to Rotterdam to meet the other young people.There were 30,000 young people from various countries in Europe. They had lunch in Rotterdam and a hot meal and came back at 9 pm.They left on New Year's Day. We were all sad about to say goodbye..<br />This afternoon I will meet two Greek bloggers with their families.They will come here at 4 pm.
