so I think I can actually check this one off for now. I would still like to swim regularly, but now that we’re heading into winter I’m not sure how much of a priority I want to make it. I don’t usually enjoy swimming in indoor lap pools, which is pretty much what’s available here at various gyms or recreation centers. So maybe I’ll revisit this after the snow has come and gone. Meanwhile, I think this winter is the time to try tubing and maybe even a couple ski lessons (finally, after living in Colorado a year and a half)!

and I shudder to think what she went through. But thankfully she seems fine, nips a little when she needs to let you know you’re holding her uncomfortably or sometimes the occasional “love bite” but mostly she is a sweet and super loving licker.

That said, I’m doing a big “goal spring cleaning” (yes, in the fall) and removing all “causes” from the list for now while I determine and focus in on my specific, current to-do list. I am glad to have participated in this goal to make others more aware that declawing is not good.

Goals have been given a skim, all “cause-related” goals have been removed in preparation for more specific, current, really-for-me goal-setting. It is a good start to a long, hopefully rewarding process of energy refocusing for me. Input is welcome, bearing in mind that the wise input “get quiet and listen to yourself” supercedes all outside input… but I would still like to hear the gut instincts of those who care and have a sense about me. Much love to everyone who has cheered and commented while I’ve been off 43 things (and LJ), it has not gone unnoticed and is very much appreciated. =)
