Well, had to write
something on 12/12/12. I haven’t been very dedicated to my journal this year or
any type of blogging. I do reflect mentally a lot of the time, however. I guess
part of the reason I have done less writing is that things are good. Guess I
should always also reflect in writing on the good as it is a reflection of
gratitude. This has really been a great year. The extended family is doing well
and personally I have done better about meeting goals this year that most any.
My running mileage is higher that any year in recent history if ever. I think
this is an accomplishment at 53. I have been more consistent this year. Probably
would have had much higher mileage last year than this had I not had a femur
stress fracture, which pretty much limited my running to half a year. I am
however this year doing enough to stay in excellent shape and keep my head “right”.
I must say that I
am extremely proud of both my son and daughter. Rad has really done well
participating in sports and he is doing fairly well in school, though I doubt
he will be near a Rhode Scholar. Amanda graduated and is working for the “Y”,
while looking for a professional position and is currently interviewing for
one. Grandson Caden unbelievably continues to grow at a rapid pace, when he at
just now three is as big as some 5 year olds.
Christmas is on
top of us. Though not religious, I do love the story and the meaning of the
season. I wish that all Christians practiced the teachings instead of
perverting the religion with their own ideas. Well, this is a special day.
There will never be another with consecutive numbers like 12/12/12. Then again
they are all special. I will do my job at work today. Go to the gym and do my 4
miles on the treadmill and come home and enjoy my family. Sounds like a good
day.
