Skiing!!
I took down my last post because it was too long and not interesting, but this one is better. I went skiing yesterday! It was icy, really warm and not crowded at the area we went. It took me a little while to get my "snow legs" back, but I made it. The black slopes out here are between a green and a blue back home. However, the ice made it a little more challenging. We got "twilight" tickets, so they were good from 3 PM to 10 PM instead of 9 to 5. I got to see a snow machine in action for the first time, and there was a race going on one slope. I'm tired this morning and may end up a little sore. I've attached a picture of us before the day started.
Love to everyone!

What an awesome day!
So much good stuff happened yesterday, I just had to share. When I walked into work, a young guy from the facility was finally graduating. It's a 28 day program, but because he has been waiting for a spot at his halfway house he has been there almost 4 months. He was starting to tire of the same groups, the same food, the same drama every day but he toughed it out and made it to the next step. He's young, so what little hope I have for people feels a little stronger. This could be the time for him! I really, really hope it is.
Several others who are leaving soon thanked me for my help with stuff. I don't know how much I did, but it felt good to hear that nonetheless.
I had a relatively successful tobacco cessation education group (they asked questions, we had a good discussion) and I think I finished everything I was supposed to. I got to go to yoga class after work, I got a box of chocolates and a card from my parents and I got to talk to my grandmother last night on the phone. It was the best day! I'm so grateful for the life I have and the people in it. I'm feeling a little more upbeat than I was in the past few weeks. Hopefully I'm out of the woods. Love to everyone!

Super Sunday and beyond
Hi everyone,
It's been a little while since I posted on here. Not too much to report. Super Bowl was fun, with lots of food and some friends up in Arlington. The Patriots lost, so everyone around here was a little sad yesterday. Work has been good - sometimes I get a little frustrated with the hoops I have to jump through, how manipulative our patients can be (or try to be, unsuccessfully), or how little effort some of the staff put into their work. There are others who make up for it though, and I am grateful.
I went out dancing with some friends over the weekend and that was really fun. It took me a while to find them, but in the meantime I got to poke around all over Boston. I was in the Back Bay and Copley, then Central Square, then Downtown and finally Somerville. Looking back at the city from Quincy the next day was kind of fun, since I knew I had been all over. No fun pictures this time. Maybe next week.
I've been going to a yoga class now that my Monday night clinic is cancelled and it's been awesome. My back was a little sore yesterday and by the time I was done with class it felt great. There have actually been research studies suggesting that yoga may be as beneficial for the back as physical therapy. Who knows - I just know it's working for me.
I'm getting off of Facebook on the 15th, so I've been collecting contact info from friends. I just realized this blog is run by Google though, so I'll have to pare down the information on me in here, too. They will be changing their privacy policy in March and I'll have to decide what to do about email, etc.
Love to all!
