Night Musings

Wow... It's been a long time since I have written... Yes... I did survive the holidays... although I will admit to Xmas day being very difficult... but survive I did... and the Colorado snow on Xmas day was just about perfect...
I really didn't make any New Year resolutions... but since I came back from Philly with a cold, I decided health was what I should concentrate on in the New Year... I decided to find a dr. and do what adults should do... get a physical... and what I found out is that years of neglect really do have some consequences... so now, aware of all my frailties, I need to make a real effort at health....I always thought I was "healthy"... well it's easy to think that if you don't check it out...lol... the reality is that neglect, and chemotherapy have taken their tolls. So it is really time to work at health...
I'm taking an Anatomy and Physiology class at the community college and finding it very challenging, but enjoyable... I am really using my brain... and I like that...
I am having fun using my snowshoes...(xmas gift from my children) and am looking forward to learning to ski...
I have taken to routines... class Monday and Wednesday nights, sushi on Friday nights, study over the weekend with an occasional hike thrown in...Note to self... must do more hiking! The weather has been great!
I have discovered that I love snow! I now understand why in Nordic or Arctic regions, they have so many words for snow...because it can be different on any given day or time...the snow here is so different than it is back east... It is soft, light, slippery, white... the snow in Boulder usually melts in a couple of days...The sun usually comes out the next day, and even if it's cold, it is usually bright and clear... I think the longest the snow stayed on the ground here was a week...(there was a lot of snow!) The Flatirons are beautiful in the snow....
I have taken to examining my relationships past and current... the ones with old friends, with my parents, my children, my siblings, bosses, new friends.... with a new sense of who I am, how I fit, and who I want to be...
I have taken to really examining what I want... and coming up with answers...
So... after such a long absence, I can say....
Life is Good.....
