Sorry it's been so long since I posted. I was out of town, Florida of all places! Yes, it was great. I got to see my new nephew and my brother and sister-in-law, as well. It was great to hang out and catch up. We also celebrated my oldest daughter's birthday, while there. I can't believe how much she is growing up! She is turning into a great young lady, and is such a help to me, especially with the baby. I also got to work out there, it was wonderful to do that, especially in the warmth of the sun! Haven't had much of that lately. Though I did have one adventure of getting lost while out running. I thought I was going in a circle, ended up doing a figure 8, imagine that. Let's just say, I had a long cool down since I over shot by about a 1/2 mile or so and had to walk back! I also got to swim outside, how great is that?!
Having had this great oppritunity, especially with it Thanksgiving growing near, made me reflect on how grateful I am. Grateful for family and friends. Grateful to travel, which is something I really love. Grateful to be able to exercise in beautiful area in awesome weather, when it is almost winter where I live. Grateful for the beautiful planet our God has given us, especially the ocean and surf! Grateful for faith to pass onto our children.
So lets be focused on gratfulness and thankfulness this month. Let us remember to tell others at least 1 thing a day through Thanksgiving for things that we are grateful for. Hopefully this will form a pattern that will continue in our lives and families. So I will start. In the spirit of Vetern's Day today, I am thankful for those who have and are serving our country, risking our lives to keep us safe. Thankyou!
Christy - I second what you say here - we have so much to be grateful for. I am very grateful for family & friends too - in fact, I will have the pleasure of joining your mom, my sister, Marcia tonite at the Gonzaga-MSU basketball game, how fun!!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to share with you a website my boss told me about - he's a jogger! It's called walkjogrun.net. You can put in an address anywhere you are (your neighborhood, or your in-laws house,etc) and it will give you a map of the area and you can draw a route you want to take and it will tell you how long it is, etc. No more getting lost and you have the actual distance. Really a cool tool if you travel. Love, Aunt Ellen
Thanks for this! Great info. I'm also following a site, beginnertriathlete.com. Lots of stuff there but great, especially if you are training. Check it out!
