Here are some pics my Mom took in January 2006 when she visited Hannah at her Dad's in Oklahoma City. The little girl with Hannah is her half-sister, Katie, who obviously likes her picture taken (lol). Hannah is at her Dad's right now, but will be returning for Mother's Day. Can't wait!
AIR
Give yourself the gift of fresh air. Breathe it in deeply, feel your belly expand, and let it out slowly. Instead of another cup of coffee, take a brisk walk in a crisp autumn air to revive your senses (I don’t think the author truly understands my addition to caffeine or the fact that I live in AZ). When cabin fever starts to suffocate you, energize yourself with a dose of frigid winter air (again…I live in the desert). Feel it tickle your tongue and tingle against your tonsils. When tensions rise, step outside for a little air (let’s hope it’s not on a 117 degree day). Air your troubles to a friend you can trust, and clear the air of misunderstanding and mistrust. When spring lifts its head to say hello (hello…it’s April and we are already getting 90 degree temps), open the windows and air out the sheets and blankets and rugs. Hang them over balconies and on clotheslines and from the branches of trees for a good soak in the sun-drenched air (my Nanny used to do this). Air out the cushions and the camp gear, and be certain to air out the dog (don’t they always need airing out?). Shampoo and air-dry everybody’s hair in the sun. Anything that’s feeling stale and musty can benefit from a breath of fresh air. Get yourself moving and breathe!

I was feeling really depressed this morning. After reading your entry I thought about it for awhile and it is so true. I just need to get out into the air more often to clear my negative thoughts. thanks
