Right up front: Never in a million years could I do what is required. However, I needed to start somewhere. Considering how fit the SEALs are, I figured it was a good place to start. My pushups are against the wall.

Using 1, 2, and/or 4-lb weights:

PT ~ Physical therapy

UBP ~ Upper body exercises, pushups, and chair sits against the wall

SEALFit shared some good hints I want to learn and remember:

TBR

6. Montana Snowfall (McCutcheon Family series book 7) by Caroline Fyffe Western historical romance.

7. Outlaw Platoon by Sean Parnell nonfiction. Not an easy read. He recounts his time with Outlaw Platoon in Afghanistan, in 2006. War is brutal. He stated that battle removed the facades. Some people were dishonorable and some were honorable. In battle, a man couldn't hide what he was. I'm glad I read it. Mr. Parnell has written a fiction book I want to read, and it's on my Wish List.

8. His Heart's Delight (The Braedon Family Series Book One) by Mary Blayney sweet Regency romance. An enjoyable read. The back and forth between the hero and heroine delighted. I'd like to read the next book in the series.

9. Salesman of the Year by Karen Kelley short story contemporary romance. Second chances.

10. Chicken Soup for Annie by LuAnn McLane short story contemporary Christian romance. Sweet.

Celebrate Chocolate Cake Day

January 27th. How could I resist celebrating such a delicious holiday?

Chocolate Cake for Two

Ready for the second novella in the series?

Welcome back to Holiday, USA, small town America, where nothing happens, except holidays... and maybe a little romance, if the hero and heroine trust God.

Freed, after being wrongly imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit, Henry Weaver needs a fresh start. The "Help Wanted" sign in the cupcake shop window couldn't possibly be the answer to his prayer.

Holiday Sweets, a specialty cupcake shop, is Annie Sweet's heritage. Everything would be perfect if only she could find competent help. An ultimatum demands Annie make a painful decision.

Choosing God is rarely the easy way, and sometimes the way to Happily Ever After appears impossible...
