It's Mark's contentedness that makes me want to be a better person... he's SO happy with so little, and I think everyone could learn something from him. I'm really glad to know him!Katie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733849582309631730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-87582692619034680502014-01-02T18:02:54.740-05:002014-01-02T18:02:54.740-05:00Oh my!!

I think your best option would probably be investing in a treadmill (or elliptical, or exercise bike, or whatever you enjoy doing the most). When my kids are home from school, and Jerry's at work, I still don't have an excuse not to run, because I have a treadmill :) You can find them relatively cheap on Craigslist, but even the one I bought new was $700 (not Katie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733849582309631730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-30509794269768477012014-01-02T16:11:20.430-05:002014-01-02T16:11:20.430-05:00I haven't been on blogger much and am just now...I haven't been on blogger much and am just now catching up with posts... Your posts about him have brought me so many emotions. Mark sounds like a very special person; the kind who can bring you joy just reading about him! And at the same time so much sadness about his current condition. I feel an odd sense of peace in reading about him...How amazing for him to spend however many days he has Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08400891265971924173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-36028840663730732202014-01-02T10:55:55.381-05:002014-01-02T10:55:55.381-05:00Great post!

I wish I could do some acts of kindness for you just because of how much of an angel you are to continue to take time out of your life to be there for him. You are truly an amazing woman. :)<br /><br />I love doing goals instead of "resolutions". When people ask me what my resolutions are I say "I don't have any.

It made my cry/smile/laugh just a little bit and really brightened my day :) One of my major focuses in 2014 is the "joy in the journey" and trying to find happiness wherever I go. This past year, I got so caught up in trying to be "perfect" and "achieve" that I really lost sight of this.

Any time I try restricting myself because I think I should, I end up binge eating. I don't know when I'll learn! I can't have a lot of stuff in the house, but I normally never have an issue with having something out. Balance is hard, but important.

My 35 year old cousin lost his battle with brain cancer in September 2013 and his death really opened my eyes to how precious life is.

I have always admired your discipline when it comes to staying on track, but I am also excited to see you enjoy food in a healthy way (which I'm sure will have ups and downs, but this is nice to see). You are active and healthy, and I think less focus on points/tracking will be a positive for you!

If you show the world gratitude it comes back to you you ten-fold. True story. I did my first act of kindness today by making a donation to the wild animal rehabilitation centre in my area.
