And so thats what I did. Yesterdays success helped me to ok with the decision, plus I plan a long ride tomorrow, and I want to be rested for it. I decided to also rest my overtaxed brain, and towards that end this post will be a hello only.
But since it's Sunday, maybe just a short sermon eh.
I remember growing up as kid in the catholic church being amazed by one thing the priests did. Every sunday they had to come up with a sermon lasting as much as 15 minutes. I was impressed that anyone could put that many intelligible words together on a regular and repeated basis. Never could I do that.
As I consider myself now however I realize that I have been sermonizing to who ever would listen or read, every day for the last month. Maybe I could have been a priest eh? I would probably have tried it too, except for the fact that you had to abstain from sex of any kind, and that was an idea I couldn't fathom by the time I was 16....oh wait...yah...that was a lie!!! Too bad...or then again, maybe for the best. As my wife says I'm kind of anal and I would probably have insisted on keeping the vows I made.
For me that is just one of a million reasons, why I have almost zero use for organized religion. BUT....in my opinion organized religion has practically nothing to do with "god" anyway, or more importantly with "good". I am so proud and gratified to belong to a family community where you can believe what you believe without being condemned for it. Again, not a common theme among organized religion groups.
So my preaching for today says....love one another.... and.... expect one and other to be "good" and the "god" part will completely take care of itself. I guarantee it! After all, I'm omniscient...arrr, arrr
For Mary and Peter....as we discuss these things openly it occurs to me that we have only words to describe ideas that are indescribable. It is because of this same limitation that I find it impossibe for me to tell you how much I cherish you both, every "god" given "atom" of you both!! Tears come to my eyes and I consider how blessed I am.
Wish me luck tomorrow as I head out on the Q-Roo.
I wish to dedicate day 32 to Claire Leach who is battling breast cancer, and who will win!

Well said Pete!!
Keeping an open mind helps you to continue to learn and hear different perspectives without judging each other.
You are helping make this world a better place putting your insides on the outside.
Love you much
Roo
I too am blessed by the presence of all of you in my life, and I say a special thanks for those of you who werent a year ago. You are incredible human beings regardless of whether God or mother nature made you that way. I thank them both for you all.
I am also grateful for a husband who instead of accepting a fate the same as his fathers and uncles (died in their 50's of heart attacks) chose to fight that, and yesterday ran a another marathon in BQ time.
love you all
