It is something I started awhile back and that is to simply recap the day in a span of ten minutes.
It is nothing revolutionary, but just a sort of a dump of the day.
I'm in the process of starting another project within the job that I have.
It will be totally different, but it is going to stretch my management capabilities.
I’m thankful to have it and I’m sure that I’ll be in a position to work as hard as my daughter has this entire school year as a first-year teacher.
It has been a challenging experience for her, but I’m sure that she’ll be wiser for it when everything is said and done.
Had a really good half marathon yesterday in Galveston.
Basically had a personal best for a non-downhill course, but I’m not jumping up and down over it.
It is just something in life to enjoy being given the ability to accomplishment and to be able to share it with friends and family who celebrate it with me.
My friend Leanne tried to get me to run five miles this morning with her and a couple of the runners in her sub-group within Volte, but I was still a little beat up from Sunday’s race.
I didn’t even have the alarm set to meet them for their 5 a.m. start in The Woodlands.
Sunday was good, but I didn’t get over to see my Mom and Dad like I normally do.
As we continue to deal with having lost my sister almost five years ago, I realize that I need to spend more time with them because we’re all not guaranteed tomorrow.
While working on cleaning up my office a little bit today, other than finding $100 in two birthday cards from this January, I noticed that my grandmother had called from her cell phone.
My parents talk to her every day at 7:30 p.m. Central time.
I didn’t realize that she had called at 5:30 p.m. until almost 6:30 p.m.
I called my parents to make sure there wasn’t some issue that they were aware of that they hadn’t told me about yet.
I then called her and we talked for about 20 minutes. (She hadn’t tried to call me so not sure what happened or took place, so I’ll just believe that God determined that I needed to call her.)
She’s been amazing my entire life for me, but for her to be 93 – going on 94 in April – and to have lived almost five years alone – with a lot of help that she’s grateful for, of course – after my grandfather passed away three months after my sister did – is amazing.
The birthday money?
Well, I treated myself to five books ffrom Barnes & Noble in The Woodlands that I will read, but I finished my first book in a little while in Jill Kelly’s “Without A Word: How A Boy’s Unspoken Love Changed Everything” – the story about her and Jim Kelly’s son, Hunter, who passed away with Krabbe’s Disease at the age of eight.
