My mother passed away on December 10, 2009. I needed a way to help myself work through the grieving process. I knew that just writing an occasional entry in a paper journal wouldn't help me deal w/ the myriad of emotions. I've pledged to write in this blog every day for a year to chronicle what I hope will lead from the pain of mourning to the glory of remembrance.

Wednesday, 01 December 2010 -- Day 346
I'm not sure if I mentioned this before, but Kenzie and I have been taking Zumba classes for about a month. Zumba uses dance and aerobic movement set to Latin music so it's an amazing workout, it's fun, and best of all I get to spend time w/ my daughter. This exercise has boosted my energy level, and all those endorphins really have made me happier. Since I'm happier, I'm less focused on my loss and more focused on what I gained from being Mom's daughter. Since I'm doing these 45-minutes classes of nonstop movement twice-a-week, I've lost weight and gained definition. This is definitely a win-win situation. About the only thing that would make it better would be if Mom were taking the class w/ me. She would've loved the dance moves, and since she taught me how to dance, I guess in a way she is enjoying the class.
