Great day.....

Well, it was a pretty great day, other than I found out that one of my oldest friends (back from junior high) had her brother pass away. Now, that is incredibly sad but what is even more sad is that he passed away on December 19, the funeral was on Christmas Eve and she didn't tell me until today. Why did she wait so long? I don't know other than I know she was in great pain. I would have done anything to be there for her...moved heaven and hell to help her. But at least I will be there for her now, if she will let me.

Work was good, but busy. I love days like today....busy but not obnoxiously so. I kept active at all times and left work with an amazingly clean desk, IN box, and mail box. That is my goal for the rest of the week. I came home, did 30 minutes on the treadmill at an aerobic rate, did 110 stomache crunches (starting out slow and will work up to a more impressive number), and then 15 minutes of aerobic cycling. I am reading a new health book and it has me incredibly motivated. Funny how a book can do that for me. So an hour at the gym, and I am still buzzing from the high even now that I am home. I plan on straightening up my room, taking care of the hamster, taking a nice hot bath, and reading.....getting back into that whole "reading" cycle again.

Sorry if I am jumping around on the topics....I have had a lot on my mind lately and my friend's brother passing away has unnerved me. I just want to do more and don't know how. There is nothing that tears at my heart more than seeing a close friend in pain and I know she is hurting, and I don't know what to do.

Have I reminded you all lately that there are only 6 more months until Halloween?
