Greetings! “With all these lovely tokens of September days are here, with summers best of weather and the autumns best of cheer.” – Helen Hunt Jackson The days have been pretty wonderful lately, letting us know that we are in that perfect weather season...the warmth of summer is still here, but fall is coming. Along with this change comes back-to-school time and a bit more consistency in our lives. It's a funny thing - even though we may not have school aged children, it still seems that we all end up back on track once September comes. So we say a sad farewell to the carefreeness of summer, but look forward to a wonderful fall season.

SKI FITNESS ON ITS WAY...

It may seem like we're jumping the gun, but September is generally the time we start thinking of training for the ski season. Keep your eye on the schedule, as Ski Fitness will be making its debut again very soon.

You may have wondered... You may have noticed that Timothy did not have his surgery in July as anticipated. Why, you may ask? Shortly before the scheduled surgery, we discovered that he has a bit of an issue with his heart. Therefore, he is focused on trying to heal this part of his body before he moves forward with anything else.

He has appreciated all of the kinds words and support he has received from so many of you.

New Folks and a Sendoff

We've seen some new faces around the studio... Are you one of them? If so, WELCOME!  Micah Johnson Noah Johnson Krystin Williams

Most of you have already heard, but we will be saying goodbye to Seth at the end of the week. We have really enjoyed having him as part of the LIFT team. His awesome personality has helped light up the Studio and we wish him the very best in his new adventure in Boise, Idaho.

Life is a precious thing, and when we are faced with challenges, it makes us even more appreciative of the positives we have in our lives. Most often this is family (like Timothy having his daughter and son-in-law visit for a bit), sometimes it is good friends who take you out for a bite just to catch up on things, but in the end, it is simply being able to find a little bit of joy in each and every day. We wish for each of you, the ability to find and cherish something that you are thankful for every day. Timothy & Denise
