Amber and I traveled together to cousin Dale's funeral this morning. Like many of the attendees, I just can't help but think he might have had another twenty or thirty years ahead of him. It was sad and tragic for him to go so young. My thoughts and prayers are with his mom, siblings and his children, who fortunately are all adults with kids of their own.
I made it back to work a little after 3pm in order to take care of a few things, then it was straight home for a short nap in preparation for my Tuesday night support group conference call, dinner and a late workout.
I seriously considered declaring today a rest day. After the wonderful group tonight, I was full of positive energy--and I couldn't resist a good workout. Having lifted weights yesterday, tonight was elliptical only.
I enjoyed good food, good exercise and good support interactions, privately one on one and within the group. I would call this a solid Tuesday.
Once again, I'm making the tough choice to skip writing about anything else in exchange for more sleep. I know it's the correct decision tonight, but I must say, it's not easy to push the keyboard away. I have some things to explore, issues to dissect and opinions to express!! I'm passionate about this writing discipline of mine and eternally grateful for what it's done for me.
