Count the blessings

Yep, must remember to count up the blessings! Today I was able to run....somewhat....I'm continuing the building process. I managed thirty minutes today with some extended running time with brief respites of walking. I still believe I will come out on the other end...the lean mean running machine I see in my mind. Hey, congratulations to Marlene!! She broke the 4 hr barrier in the marathon. I think this is a great accomplishment and inspiration! Way to go friend!!
Sandy and I are still on this emotional roller coaster dealing with a devastating family issue...it has been good to have my College boy in town. He and his girlfriend are going out with us for dinner tonight. Looking forward to it....peace!

I sing the "Count Your Blessings" song (from the movie White Christmas) to my girls at bedtime. It's so true how much it can help to reflect on our blessings. Glad there are some bright spots while you are struggling. Hope dinner was great!

And great job easing back into running. I was in that same spot a few months ago, so I know it is hard!

      This is the most wonderful time of year! I love the heat and humidity! Yet I still get out earlier due to my advanced age! 4.4 miles! ...
