{your friendship and consideration motivates me, daily.}
isn't this a stunning image?

to decide what to do at the last second after seeing all possible options
and obstacles that come up.
comes from football, seen when the quarterback goes up to the line
of scrimmage, sees a defensive alignment he wasn't expecting,
and adjusts by yelling out a new play.
i love the term.
i really do love how sporting life terminology can apply to real life!
(even during the off-season)
the needed adjustment applies to my health and well being,
and most recently, a revelation with Mr D's health as well.
one could question the alignment being unexpected, but who's nitpicking?
( most plays have been played before. )
it's been easy to say that i need to make changes in my lifestyle, but
it has been just as easy making excuses why i haven't.

this should be the easiest D I Y e v e r !
for the most part, i eat pretty healthy.
like most, we focus on eating "whole" foods versus those with chemical additives.
all i need to do is M O V E a little longer and a bit faster!
that's it!
why is this D I Y so hard for me?
moving does not require tools, wood, hardware, paper or glue!
. . . and there isn't a mess to clean up afterwards.
it only requires me!
that's it!

i'm beginning this journey by channeling the spirit and energy of the truest-bluest Seahawk fans.
many of you watched that fateful play by the Seahawks in the final seconds of the Superbowl .
( warning...lemons into lemonade ahead! )
when talking to my son, Jay after the game...he expressed his disappointment.
we lamented and played upon the shoulda woulda couldas like so many games before.
(t-ball, little league, select baseball, high school baseball and football, college baseball,
the Cougs, the Mariners and the Hawks.) he and i live and love sports analogies.
it's a mind frame that i love to lock into with him.
it's a sweet mother - son connection for me.
upon closing our phone conversation he said,
"Ma, this is how it goes..."
"this week, i should have run...but i passed."
with Jay's words and my daughter Chrislyn's morning coaching,
(believe me, she is one tough coach), as motivation . . .
i y e l l the audible . . .
run!
(meaning . . . walk fast for me.)
don't pass!
(Oh - "Ma" - haul-it! )
( Peyton-ly speaking)
