Back to basics....

My many remakings are remarkable in their own way. Each, to varying degrees, includes body, mind, and spirit. Each requires being proactive, rather than reactive.

Running always provides the necessary rubric. Running enables me to: regroup; renew; rework; reorganize; remember; and reenergize.

Running is not static; it requires constant movement. So too do I. Running is my restorative.

Blessings

This morning, I was thinking that my word of the day was going to be blessings, a word highlighted on my holiday card. Then, I listened to a Fresh Air podcast during which the song Count Your Blessings was sung. Then, I felt blessed to be partaking in my Company's holiday luncheon. Then, the horrible events in Newtown, CT unfolded and I felt even more blessed.  Then, traffic turned my 2 1/2 hour commute into 3 3/4 hours.  However, I was safe, as was my 3rd grade Son, who called me when he arrived home after a great day at school and a great piano lesson. 

After I long day, I still have lots to do.  However, my Son just told me that he wanted to sit on my lap because it's warm.  How could I refuse such a simple request on this sad day?  Particularly when he wanted to watch a Christmas song video of The Piano Guys on YouTube?

I am blessed, and I will remember that.  My thoughts and prayers are with the Newtown families who lost so much today.
