After all, tomorrow is another day...

Well, tomorrow is the day that I chosen for me to make a "lifestyle change". I plan on following the Weight Watchers points system (works good for me when I actually try) and just get a little bit more exercise. I am also going to have a few others trying along with me, in the form of the "Woodland's Biggest Loser" contest. Maybe the competition will help me keep on going! Good Luck to all! Hopefully we will all be losers!

A Mother's Journey

This series of photographs are so touching. As the mother of a child this age, it sure hit close to home. Congratulations to the photographer for winning the Pulitzer Prize. God Bless this family and keep them strong.

Things I Love About Woodland

I love when I go to the grocery store I can see anyone from one of my old teachers to one of my kid's current teachers.

I love that some of my old teachers ARE some of my kid's teachers!

I love that when I go to work (hospital) I can help someone that knows my grandparents and then later my grandparents tell me how much my help meant to their friend.

I love driving home from work and seeing my parents on a walk!

I love that people I went to school with are lawyers, doctors, grocery clerks, nurses, firefighters, police officers, and teachers in our town!

I love that when I got pulled over as a teen for speeding a little bit, the CHP officer told me to tell my dad that he owed him a beer, and let me go with a warning!

I love going to work out at "the club" and seeing people that knew me back when...

I love going to the mall and having people ask me, "How are you parents doing?"

I love going to my son's ball games, seeing old classmates, going the their kid's ball games!

I love reading the paper and seeing the person I really didn't like back then, under the "arrested" column! (ok, that isn't very nice of me)

I love that when my son's tooth gets knocked out in a baseball injury, our dentist will meet us at the office and fix him right up!


Anyone else have something they love about Woodland?
