At the Zoo

We went to the Hogle Park Zoo yesterday - and we saw this beautiful creature. He paced on top of this bridge, looking down at us. I was as close as it appears.

I wondered about what he thought about as he paced. My dad suggested he was "looking at the animals" and I think that could be true. I wondered if he thought - here I am one of 400 left in the world, destroyed by the virus that is humanity who then take me into an enclosure and feel good about having saved me.

I wish I could be one of those people who go to the zoo and just ooh and ahh at the animals - life would be so much simpler.

New Year's Resolution

It is beautiful out here today. 1 January 2012. And the weather is stunning.

My resolutions for this year:

1. Finally lose the weight. Finally.
2. Exercise every day. Every day.
3. Start saying no. At least once a week.
4. For every ridiculous historical romance novel, read a good book.
5. Spend a lot less money.
