If nothing else, recent events have caused me to re-evaluate life. I've always considered myself a chipper gal with very few "bad" days and my moto has always been "carpe diem" and I stick to it. However, with the sudden death of my uncle, it's made me reconsider other aspects of my life.

I'll be the first to admit that I'm not the heathiest person around. As of Thursday, I've quit smoking. So far so good. Walking is going to be added to my daily routine and somewhere down the line, I'll also have to add some other sort of activity like weight training or something but I'm starting small.

I've also never been much of a saver. Short term goals are good by me but anything long term, well, I sort of lose sight of the "big picture" and the savings plan usually dies along the way. So, D and I have made arrangements to talk to a financial advisor. We need to seriously start saving for 1)car 2)wedding and 3)a home.

So, things are slowly going back to normal. A mass has been scheduled for Thursday night and the funeral is Friday. I'm feeling much better now though sometimes, a little thing will trigger a cry response. I hope this goes away soon.

Happy Monday everyone! :)
