So crucial yet often the first to go. Glad you're back on the mountain bike; thrilling to reconnect with our former selves. Hi Cynthia: Thanks for your kind words. "Full circle" describes it exactly.

I've always been active but recently took up a sport I'd put aside for a couple of decades--mountain biking-- and I'm loving it. Exercise keeps me sane. My family too, actually, since I'm not very pleasant to be around if I miss too many workouts! Wonderful piece, Jessica, and I so relate to it.

It feels great to be back in the pool. Sveta: You also log your miles, watching your son swim. So hard to get that extra energy burst to do for ourselves. But I'm telling you, I am so energized by it. Baby steps. Thanks, Cathy. It feels great to be back in the pool. Sveta: You also log your miles, watching your son swim.

And it also made me want to try to excercise, not a small feat, I assure you. Ok, this just made me tear up, especially the last paragraph.
