Vitality is my word for 2009. I am going to start out by taking by vitamins (calcium, B, D and maybe a general one-a-day) and I am going to get back to exercising...starting with riding the bike on the trainer in the basement!

I have a big long list of all the other things that I wish to accomplish, do, learn, create, experience in 2009 but I am going to see if I can take my vitamins and ride that bike everyday for one week before I get started on that list. You see, if I gain some VITALITY, I may be able to chip away at that list!

Happy New Year 2009... my "pre-50" year!
