Hi all, I was going to rest today as yesterday my cycling was a bit hard but I did 1.68 miles of a jog inside today.  Easing into jogging but not sure I'll stay with it.   

@violet runner I looked up the schools and it says they go back the 7th.  Yes and the pillow can arrive when he's gone so then I can leave it at their house.  He'll know after he gets there but so be it!  It sounds like it may be cloudy a few days we are there and chilly.   I hope they are wrong.   We're going to the gardens on the 10th, so I hope it's not raining or snowing.  Already have our tickets.  

Not much else going on, taking the afternoon to lay low.  Hope the dermi appt. went ok.

Happy New Year!   Well as we close out 2024 and enter 2025, I have a lot of feelings.   Some are sad and then some I gave thanks.   My son had a terrible horrifying car accident in July, almost lost his life, but he didn't ( this was the joy that I am forever grateful for)  I still grieve my sweet dad, I lost my forever dog Logan, and still cry over that but I am grateful I had him for as long as I did and I know he is playing with my dad and mom and all of my family up there.  I am always grateful I have a body I can move, I can get on the floor and get back up, I feel safe where I live, I have 4 seasons ( yes some are LONG) but non the less I get the chance to witness them all.  I am joyful I live near the cleanest and largest of the Great lakes, Mighty Lake Superior.  I think we can all get low now and again, and I know i can feel sorry for myself, and slap me when I do please.  With all we have to be grateful for, homes with roofs, food on our table, beauty and glory all around us, I can always feel the Lords love over me, when I can't continue he will carry me.   I am getting a bit mushy here but this is "me" I don't try and be anyone else, I won't change for anyone else, I am proud of who I am, and I am grateful for all of you, and I think you really belive me!!   Love to all, and good Health in this coming year!!

@bopper  - What a lovely post.  I am also so grateful for our little group, my DD, friends and so many other things.  Wishing you a fun time with your grandchildren, safe trip, and a happy and healthy 2025.

@bopper Your year end post was so beautifully written from the heart. You are a big reason I like to post here!   I hope you have a great trip visiting the grands. I feel for you that there is no school on Monday. That makes for a long weekend. I love being with my grands but they sure make me tired. I sometimes count on my fingers to see how many hours to their bedtime. Haha!

I finally got out and ran 3 miles today.  Too many days resting and eating much more than I should. I have been doing a little bouncing on my rebounder to get used to it and look forward to doing some of the videos you mentioned.

@violet runner Your Christmas hike sounded wonderful. It was good you could enjoy a hike and still work on your Christmas dinner.

@JudyL I have a feeling that 2025 is going to be your year. Sounds like you are doing a great job knowing what your knee can handle and going for it. 

Happy New Year everyone!
