This week went by really quick. I am so glad, with school back in section I have to get up really early every morning so we can leave on time so my daughter can to get to school by 8:00 a.m.. I seriously look forward to my weekends..
My morning exercise routine has been going really well.. I am staying committed and pushing my self to get up earlier so I can work out for 30 minutes before getting ready for work.. I am not trying to loose weight...just tone up..
I read a few blogs this morning and I was amazed at how many blog entry were about love pains... wow! I thank god I have moved on from those mind set that keep you shackled to a relationship that has long been over... we need to learn to let go and not subject ourselves to mental abuse from the other person who no longer loves or respect us.
I am so anxious for the weather to change from indian summer to fall already.. I am ready for some jackets and boots weather.... however I am not looking forward to the snow and freezing temperatures.
What about you? How was your week...

Do You Volunteer?
I am so glad school is back in session, this puts me back on a normal routine so I am able to post on my blog and catch-up on reading some of my favs....
I had a very rewarding weekend... My daughter and I was up very early Saturday morning so we could head on downtown to our volunteer duties. We cleaned up the pier by the Hudson River... It was a beautiful day to be outside. The sun was bright. The air was a bit cool with a slight breeze.. This my kind of weather, not hot, not cold.... just right....
When we arrived at the clean up site, we were greeted by the coordinator and given a brief run down on what was gonna take place. She cautioned us to be careful while rummaging through the trash.. You don't want to get poked by any sharpe objects. The debris that was picked up had to classified and put into a category on a form that was handed to us. Along with that form we were given gloves, a long handle fishing nets and clear plastic bags...
We used the long handle fishing net to scoop up the debris from the water. It was amazing the stuff we found when we looked at it closely. Amongst all the pieces of plastic, bottles, candy wrappers, straws, bottle top we found syringes and drug paraphanalia... we even found a baby crab and a piece of jelly fish... we threw those back into the water as those are not a threat to the environment.... It's so rewarding to me when I volunteer.. doing my part to make this world a cleaner place. .. What about you, do you volunteer? and where?
