I had a very nice visit in DC with my family for Thanksgiving. The dinner at the Army Navy Club was fabulous to say the least. Good wine, good food, and GREAT dessert! Dressing up, which I love to do but unfortunately don't get to do enough of. The weather was great for the whole trip. I was even able to get a couple of 4-6 mile runs in. Very nice. The last run I decided to do a different route that would give me some hills for some tush work. Of course the day I did that one the wind decided to kick up so I was suckin' wind for a good part of it but I did finish it out. Good for me.
So now I am back in the midwest. I have done my 6 miles the last 2 days and am proud of myself for not slacking on that regime. As I have said in earlier posts I really do enjoy that time out, it truly helps clear the mind. Today was a bit cold but it was snowing, gently. Even though the day was gray I really enjoyed the snow and cold. I was warm enough of course with my running gear but the air was so crisp and smelled so clean. The snowflakes were soft on my face and it felt good. Every now and again I would turn my face upwards to try to catch one on my tongue as most of us do as children. You are only as old as you feel right?
So as the 2007 Thanksgiving season comes to a close officially starting the 2007 holiday season I have to wonder what is in store. This season will more than likely prove to be a bit difficult at times and certainly it will be different than in the past. I guess however it will be what it will be. And just as each snowflake is different, unique, and beautiful in its own way so will be each day of this season. I just need to make sure I embrace each day and appreciate each one for its own beauty and uniqueness. Some days I am sure will be harder than others but again, they will be what they will be.
Cheers!
