Ready for Change in 2009



I've been so excited about the change we are about to witness later today, waiting for this day a long time, eight years to be exact. It snowed here overnight, and my clinic won't open until 10am. So I have a little more time to sip coffee and let it all sink in before heading off to work. Several of my coworkers will be at the inauguration, with kids and grandkids to celebrate Obama's start with millions of others on the Mall. I wish I could have joined them. Historic doesn't even begin to describe it-transformative and more.

I too am hoping for better luck in 2009 - good check ups (I have one with a bone marrow biopsy this Friday) and lots of energy. The beginning of the year has been great, getting back to work, getting a daily routine going again (I just finished my row workout), and returning to Asheville on the w-e's. We are finding our pattern again, and it sure is nice to see all of our old friends in the mtns more regularly again.

Today's photos are from the hike up Lover's Leap outside of Hot Springs, where we did the soak in the outdoor hot tubs on Saturday.
