The New Year is here! Welcome, 2012. The beginning of the year, with its "New Year's resolutions," remains the most popular time of the year to join a gym, begin a weight-loss program, etc. Everyone likes a fresh start, and perhaps the holidays boasted a menu that was a trifle on the rich side.
While I think turning over a new leaf is a great idea, I hope everyone will see Leap Day in the context of beginning (or continuing) a family habit. Make a lifestyle course adjustment, if you like, rather than an all-out "do-or-die" thing. I've been so grateful for the gentle voice of our 5-year-old, who cheerfully works out with her kids' video (PraiseMoves for Children) for PE. She's such an encouragement to me. "Mom, are you going to come exercise with me?"
Thanks to Laurette Willis, creator of PraiseMoves and PraiseMoves for Children, for donating a video and sending material in support of LeapDay 2012. You can find these and many other excellent resources at http://praisemoves.com/
56 days 'til Leap Day!
