Why take life too seriously?! There are things that happen every day that make me smile. Sometimes it's a question or story from my son. Sometimes it's a quirky thing heard over the cubicle wall. Many times it's dysfunctional things we say or do at family gatherings. Life happens. Let's enjoy it!

Raining on my Parade
By some miracle yesterday, I got 10,000 – make that 12,000 – steps on my FitBit. That doesn't happen every day. I know, I know. I said I bought it so I would be motivated to get 10,000 a day. But just because it tells time, doesn't mean it gives me any.
The reason I reached the goal Monday was because of weather. It was sunny and warm (by March in Wisconsin standards) so I got out for a walk break at work. Wasn't a long one, but long enough to feel the fresh air and even work up a sweat. When I was at kickboxing after work, I felt my wrist vibrate. That's the FitBit telling me I reached my 10k goal. It happens so rarely, it always surprises me!
I felt so accomplished when I was able to tack on another 2,000 steps before bedtime, that I made sure to wear walking shoes to work today so I could do it again.
Don't ask me why I stopped checking the forecast, but I was dismayed when the rain started and just kept going and going and going. Looking at the radar as of 7:30 p.m., I think it's going be Energizer Bunny-ing it all night.
The good news is that we are only getting rain down here in the south. Up North, in my growing-up home, they are possibly getting 6-10 inches of snow tomorrow to Thursday. For real. I saw it on Facebook so it has to be true. Apparently, in central Wisconsin we could get a trace to 2 inches of the white stuff.
Sigh... Another day of walking the boring halls at work. At least I have great company with my co-worker walking buddies who are equally crabby that our parade is forced indoors.
We'll have to FIT in a lot more steps when the nice part of spring returns. At some point I'll get my money's worth out of this expensive watch!
