D~ Determination

There were many "D" words I wanted to use today, but I am going to go with DETERMINATION!
I chose this word on my way home this morning from teaching my Outdoor Fitness Group, basically a boot-camp. I could not help but think of how hard all my clients work. They do or try anything I ask of them. Including army- crawling through sand. Not their favorite :) Tonight I will be introducing a longer run with more hills to my 5k class. I am sure they will attack it with the same determination.

It is the essence of living a strong and healthy life as a survivor....yup, DETERMINATION!

I think you are referring to the A-Z blogger challenge link. From what I can tell, I was the last person to sign up. They must have closed it yesterday, not sure why.
Hope that answers your question.; April 5, 2011 at 8:38 PM

I decided to start at the end of the linky list today. I'm glad I did. I'm very happy to meet you!

From anther Elaine spelled a little different.

So happy to have found your blog. We have one other thing in common. We began blogging to help cope with a tough life situation and it became more than that.

I am a caregiver for my elderly mother. She lives with me and it is hard. Not as hard as cancer but a major personal struggle just the same.

I am trying to get back into being more active along with other goals just so I don't become totally overshadowed by my caregiver duties. I look forward to you future posts.

I can be found at http://mynext20yearsofliving.blogspot.com. If you are courious about what another "Elaine" is up to. In fact my E posting is about my name.

Happy blogging.
Elaine

"Like all humans, you carry within you awesome survival mechanisms. All you need is the knowledge to trigger them. Once triggered, they will provide you with all the energy and health that you need to better survive. Take advantage of your innate power. Nourish yourself properly, live better, and live longer". - Ori Hofmekler

According to Eric Winer, MD, chief scientific advisor to Susan G Komen for the Cure®, the treatment of metastatic breast cancer has evolved dramatically over the past 10 years, and will evolve even more in the next decade. "I look forward to a time when metastatic breast cancer will be entirely manageable with well tolerated therapy. It may be quite some time before we can cure metastatic disease, but women with metastatic breast cancer can expect to live far longer and far better in the years ahead than in the past. "
