New chapter, New choices

So today was the last day of Sparkpeople. That's the healthy living lifestyle support site I've lived on since March of 2010. It's been a melancholy kind of day. I'm going to miss my daily check-in. I'm going to miss surprise "spark goodies" from my friends and blogs I've followed forever.  To be honest it's a bit anxiety inducing for it all to be gone. I'm a bit off kilter because of it.  

I know, I know. I'm 41. I'm emotional over a website. I have ways to connect to the wonderful people I met on Spark. All I've learned is not lost or forgotten. It's all going to be just fine. I just wish more people had the opportunity to enjoy the beauty that was the original Sparkpeople. 

But today marks a new chapter. I forge forward, looking for a new fitness "home." A place I like to log my activity and food. An accountability buddy if you will.   Maybe it's time for new approach anyway. As a homeschool parent I get to find new ways to enjoy health with my 13-year-old daughter, Miss B.  I'm exploring a side of me I didn't know existed, at least not like this.  Maybe this is my opportunity to take charge and teach Miss B about balance. After all health is still 3 fold, mind, body, and spirit. Maybe my mind and spirit need the change.
