Happy and Healthy

I've been thinking a bit about what makes people healthy and I'm working on becoming a healthier person overall - mind and body. I've heard some people gain weight and get somewhat depressed when writing their thesis - I am determined that that won't happen to me.

I just wanted to share what a blogger wrote and I agree whole heartedly with her. This is from Kelli at http://www.africankelli.com/

"Ultimately, what I think we need to remember is that we cannot shop ourselves green with new light bulbs or hybrid cars. We cannot eat ourselves thin with 100-calorie packs of crackers. We cannot pull ourselves out of financial ruin by shopping sales that “save.” Nice marketing ploys! If we make these choices because they fit in our budgeting, nutrition, environmental plans — that is another story. Simply, I think we can focus on using less and walking more — those two things alone will make us all healthier."

I also found another website that I have enjoyed looking at http://northernimages.com/lakesuperior/index.php
It is a has some beautiful photos of a place Erik and I hope to live someday. :)

Erik and I went down to Nebraska City this weekend. We really enjoy that area. It is beautiful and the trees are just starting to change colors. It was a rainy weekend so I didn't take any pictures, but it was still a lot of fun. We went to Kimmel's Orchard and the Peddleton Outlet, had lunch and worked our way back to Lincoln.
