Happy Friday to you! Our weather here in Colorado has morphed into a strange mix of unusually warm weather. And today, a cooler overcast day without that nip that makes autumn so delicious. I am confused...
A few minutes ago, my toddler ran to the window when he heard the alarms from a fire truck. I thought I'd break down in tears when he put his hands together and started whispering a prayer. Moments like this make my heart so thankful...
This is week three of my training to run a 5K on Thanksgiving morning. Yesterday I ran with my two oldest in the neighborhood vs. training with my running partner at dawn - the morning came way too early. And I found that I am prone to leg cramps when I haven't had a good night's rest. One way that running has changed my life thus far (besides the fact that I. AM. RUNNING!!!) is helping me get to bed at a decent hour. I've had insomnia for years and still struggle with it on nights when I don't have to run the following morning. Maybe I will have to build up to running every morning...or maybe not.
On a final note, I am going to be examining my Bible to see if I have any Pharisitical (is that a word?) or Pharisee-like tendencies in my life right now. Why? Because I have been suffering from a stiff neck for about a week. It doesn't matter how or where I sleep. I wake up with a painfully stiff neck. A heating pad, muscle creams, stretching & massage are all ineffective. Stress? Well, that's a post for another day. I feel like someone has bound my hand onto an angry rodeo bull, and I'm being whipped around & beaten up mercilessly. So what started off this post on a happier note ends with a severe downturn as more bull manifests itself in my life. I lost something precious to me a little bit ago. By carelessness on the part of another. In a string of carelessnesses. Adios, before I take us off the precipice of despair.

Oh my gosh, that is so precious about your toddler! Stiff neck? No fun. Praying it goes away soon!
