Choosing to Smile is a world-wide movement for people who have faced any kind of adversity and have chosen to smile in the face of it. The movement evolved from the book ‘Choosing to Smile’ which was written by three friends, Glenda, Julie and Michelle, who just happened to have cancer.

Why is it I have time to go visit friends, see clients, read a book or write this blog but making time to go to the gym is SO hard to do? It only takes one hour or less out of my day - you'd think that would be easy to do wouldn't you? If a friend phones I can always find time to sit and chat; if I have to take my mom to an appointment I manage to fit that into my day; if my buddies want to meet for coffee or lunch it's never a problem... heck I even make time to work on occasion but when I try squeezing in an hour of gym time three times a week it's an unbelievably big challenge. I know some of you can completely relate to my dilemma and others of you will be shaking your head saying, "Just Do It" (gee, where have I heard THAT slogan before?!)
Michelle loves to garden; Julie loves to go for walks with her hubby and Dragonboat; I love to visit with friends which usually means a choice of breakfasts, coffee, lunches, dinners, drinks, and/or appetizers of some sort ... uhoh... I don't see 'going to the gym' anywhere on my list of activities and there's the problem! The girls at Curves are so cute - they call me if I miss too many days and remind me that they haven't seen me in awhile. It's nice to have a conscience that actually makes phone calls!
So, to the wonderfully encouraging staff at Curves, if you're reading this, I will be in sometime this week... just not tomorrow - I'm working all day and I don't do afternoons... oh, that's not a very good excuse is it? Sigh... was that my phone I hear ringing?
