Yep Paul Simon…it’s almost Christmas Day
All the gifts are under the tree…..turkey and all the fixings are ready to rock..and a run is planned for the morning…….but
The family will be visiting tomorrow afternoon…my sister, and my parents…
As well as Christmas Cheer….I’m terrifed about what’s to come.
A dad that’s not doing that well, and a mom that isn’t either…and my younger sister has been doing a huge job trying to keep things together…..and when she heads home next week….I’m up I guess…and I have no idea what that means or what the future holds…..but, well…this is life.
It’s sad how quickly this has changed…..this picture was this past summer. Every thing was good…even at Thanksgiving in October…..some shaking ground, but okay……now, not so much.
I mentioned to my clinic folks this morning is like working with a group of Learn to Runners…..I’d like to say I know what should needs to happen sooner rather than later…what would make more sense…but I’ve got so much push back, I do not know how to do this…..Runners, make a plan, and run…….but if you basically cannot be left on your own, can’t drive, what are the options.
So tomorrow Christmas Cheer (the word from my sister is that they don’t even know it’s Christmas?)…..
Yes, I am terrified……I don’t want to lose my life at the Running Room, selling, instructing Clinics, looking after those Run Club runs……and my new life and an amazing opportunity at the Sturgeon Valley Athletic Club and those run club runs at an amazing facility…..but, if there’s no time, no free time, and I need to do what I need to do….well….I guess life continues to change….am I selfish worrying about that?…….
A place for them to be looked after, where they’re safe…and can socilaize…makes sense to me….but, I’m guess that not going to happen…….so far. I keep thinking about that song, where have you been…
So this evening…fire place is roaring….NFL Football is on…..gifts are underneath the tree, waiting for that traditional Chinese Food delivery ….and I’m thinking wine, lots of wine…..
I guess what is meant to happen, will happen….but well…..
