Well - you all thought I was dead, huh?
Life has been interesting. Busy, semi-hectic, simple, complex, up and down. Life has been challenging but I am getting through it. The holidays have kept me busy, my family, my relationship and also my workouts for winter training to prepare me for the velodrome!I have been busy and not been touching Milly but been on my trainer bike every night for an hour, two or more. I even took up a bit of running. This weekend I'll be down in Tacoma, for the holiday weekend, to spend with family. To bicycle - on Milly - and to do some running. It will be pleasant. No presents to exchange, no things to worry about but rather focus on exercise, relaxing, and most importanting - cherishing time spent with the family. :) It should be quite pleasant. Tonight I will stop at my college friends' home and spend time with them. We will exchange gifts, relax, catch up and then go walk around the neighborhood to look at lights like we usually do. It will be fun! Then I'll head down to see my family. The next two weeks I have Fridays and Mondays off. How relaxing that will be!
I'll try to post more in the near future and not be so distant. Hardly seems as if I have any time anymore. I'll definitely be posting more as my life gets more exciting. Right now I am just maintaining, experiencing, living in a place I can handle. Jane gave me a computer - bless her heart. I hooked up internet at home. Funny though how it never seems as if I have time or energy to use it - although it does help to look up directions, information, check emails, etc. At work I don't care to check those things that I used to check on a daily basis. *shrug* My how things can change but overall I am just so focused on my workouts. It will be good though, I'll come around and life will get more interesting with racing slowly amping up in the spring/summer for me to report on. :)
I have done a few holiday celebrations, have had some family 'crises', relationship challenges and so forth. Overall though all is well and I have some much to be greatful for in life. I am blessed I have family, that I have terrific friends, my health, a roof over my head, $ in my pocket, appreciation for life and those people in it and those things around me. The holidays should be blessed with those things that we have without taking them for granted. I want to wish you all a great holiday season!
