"Home Sweet Home"

Things I'm grateful for today.

My home
My grandchildern
My marriage
My own bed
Water from the tap
My humidifier
My bike
Toilet paper
My health
My job
My childern
Yesterday
Today
Tomorrow
Snow

Got home late last night and as always it's good to be back.
Went downtown to ride this morning and at first my legs felt like lead. Two full days after my elevation run and I was starting to wonder if it was a mistake. After about a half hour though my legs loosened up and I had a pretty decent ride. I went 60 kms in 2 hours and 6 minutes riding the last portion of the Ironman course. And I'm especially grateful today for, Run For Your Life, the running store that lets me use their computrainer. The way this winter has been I would be totally screwed without them.

Tomorrow, back to running in the snow and definitely a swim as well.

I wish to dedicate day 128 to Rob Fairfield, the owner of Run For Your Life. A guy who just likes to help people.

toilet paper, then me... WTF!!??
kidding. The things you take for granted, are the things that matter most. Doesn't make much sense, does it? Usually only in the absence do you realize their importance. You've taken the time to point them out to yourself, now don't forget what they are. Don't let them be taken for granted. Make the things that matter the things you enjoy. Make them the things you truly take the time to experience. Take them in fully and never let them go. Even in death some things can never be taken away. While we, they, and you are still here, love them to the fullest degree.
I will always be here for you... right under the stuff you use to remove shit from your ass!! lol!

I love you.
