Life, Me

Lucky or blessed

On the way to work this morning listening to the news it really hit home how lucky I am. I know back there in the recesses of my mind that comapred to a big portion of the world (we are the 1% when it comes to that) I have a very easy, great life. Usually I feel a lot of guilt about this but today I just felt gratitude.

I don’t know why I was lucky enough to be born in this country to parents who loved me and always provided for me. I don’t know why I was lucky enough to find a partner who loves me unconditionally and is very supportive. I don’t know if it is “luck”. Just chance, I guess.

Despite my health issues I am realtively healthy, and I’m able to get the care I need to take care of my issues. It’s doesn’t cause a financial burden on us for me to get my (expensive) daily medications or 90-day checkups. We have enough money to take care of all the things we need, and most of the things we want.

I have an awesome family, a loving husband, crazy (in a good way!) friends, and the happiest dogs. Whatever the cause, I am lucky or blessed.

I need to remember things like this more often.

Me, Motorcycles, Ouch, Work

Catching up & stuff

Time got away from me again.

I am loving my new job. I like what I do, I like the people I work with and for, and I like that my clients are internal employees. I had thought that perhaps my feelings about the job would wear off after the “honeymoon” phase, but it’s been two months and a few crisis-es and it’s still I place I look forward to going into every morning.

At the end of October we went to the Streets of Willow Springs with the PRS gang to do another CLASS with Reg Pridmore on the Ninja 250s. I had so much fun. I’ll post about it in my other blog.

I’ve been training with the Running Room and I’ve I’ve done two 10-km walks. I started a learn-to-run clinic, but it’s really aggravating my messed up left knee and hip. I’m going to see about switching out of the learn-to-run back to a walking clinic.

Our 4 year wedding anniversary is in a few weeks, and I already have Paul’s gift in mind. He knows what it is but I’ll at least keep it a secret from you :) I also know exactly what I’m getting him for Christmas. This must be a record!
