Born in 1931, my Mom is the rock of our family. She is the middle daughter of 6 and has always been confident and strong. She survived Japanese occupation of the Phillipines during World War II; and in high school and college she threw javelin & shot-put on her track and field team. In addition, she was a model back in her home town and participated and placed in many pageants in the 1950's. Her full time job was raising her 7 children while my Dad worked as a house painter.
Today, she is the proud parent of 7 children and 8 grandkids and raised all of us in the US in the same 900 sq ft home that she still lives in today. At 80+ years old, she does have short-term spotty memory and other physical ailments that slow her down, but she still has an amazing ability to provide inspiration and guidance to all of us. In some cases she provides laser focused parenting advise to us about raising our own kids. At other times, she entertains us with concise recollections of our own growing years. Her biggest dream for all of us has been to get a quality education, live quality lives and take care of family. We continue to fulfill that dream for her. I thank my Mom for her strength and guidance throughout the years and continue to find inspiration from her life's example in this new year of 2015.
If you haven't done so yet, take a moment to figure out who/what inspires you and use that as your motivation for your health & fitness goals for 2015. Happy New Year everyone!
