I feel better than I have in ages. Now that the weather's not cold enough to constrict my lungs, I can walk and even sort of jog. I'm losing weight, and as a fitness goal for me, we are going to make reservations to hike the Grand Canyon. I've always wanted to go see it. (And feel this mythical 'dry' heat...) Fear not! I have two years or so to get in shape for this. And I want to, which makes a ton of difference.

I had energy this morning for the first time since I can remember. It's great. I don't know if it's the sunshine or being in love or what...

Never underestimate the power of a little sunshine and movement =)

or love. Grand Canyon, wow. I have visited the Great Mythical Hole in the Ground, but never hiked it, on account of the insanely long in advance reservations you have to make. Take lots of pictures, make your geologist friends drool!

Did you not see the pictures I took this past summer?
 
Pictures? Pictures where? I want to see!

Grand Canyon: oo! Big pretty rocks carved out! When're you thinking of going?
 
Well, they recommend that you start making plans about two years in advance, so it won't be for a while yet. ;-) I went this past summer on a trip with a bunch of my family members that had been planned for a long time. I wasn't as in shape as I would have liked to be, but I did it - I hiked down (down the South Kaibab) and back out again (up the Bright Angel). I've got a couple of pictures here and, well, I *thought* I'd done a write-up, but I can't seem to find it. Bah. Those are only a few pictures, though, I've got loads more at home which I can show you tomorrow, if you like.
