A Little Extra Effort

Busy weekend with sub-zero temps. Had the opportunity to say good-bye to a friend on his last day, even though I took a wrong turn enroute. Had the opportunity to spend some quality time with a long-time friend. Went to church. Watched football. Realized that my aunt's birthday party was yesterday... I thought it was next week... my bad... I digress... I got up a little earlier than normal in order to extend my workout routine. All the while fighting with the weather.

I think the weather adds value to my activities.

It would have been easy to say... I got on the wrong highway, I can't make it... or, It's really cold out, I won't make it... or, whatever other excuses can come so easily.

I am the queen of bailing out on gatherings... or at least I feel like it. I am kind of proud of myself for doing the things that I did, in less-than-ideal weather. It took extra effort.

I have to say that I have noticed that you have been showing up without as much as a fight! I am glad that you are enjoying these times with others. We certainly enjoy spending time with you.

Thanks. I enjoy spending the time. I am trying NOT to think of where I need to be next.

That trait must run in the family...I often feel like I just don't want to do stuff (even when I have a real desire to see the people). Though I fight it at times and sometimes surprise myself by how much I do.
