I tell you I didn't realize how tired I was.  Coming up here to the mountains and just having some down time with my family has been so nice.  It really hit me today how tired I am.  I feel like maybe I should say here for a while to get rested.  I know everyone knows that feeling.  I definitely need to plan more short getaways more often.  I honestly cannot remember the last time I did this for nothing other than to relax. There is nothing like the hot springs. 

I have found out some great news this week.  My father, who has been on the healthy heart eating plan ever since Christmas, went to his annual check up with his heart doctor. He just received his results back and the doctor is completely thrilled.  His Cholesterol which is usually very high every year he goes is down to where the doctor wants them.  He is looking to take him off the long term medication in 6 months if this continues.  I am so proud of my Dad.  I gave him the challenge and he did it. He says, "Tracy this has been a lfe change for me".  How awesome is that.
