A new year and new journeys

There will be no recapping of 2008. For those of you who followed along with my blog you know my goals, accomplishments and failures too. Feel free to look back at my older blogs and know that I found in my life exactly what I put into it. I hope that you all did too.

New journeys and new beginnings. I find that exciting! I am going to work on returning to my love of triathlons and know that my healing will continue to take time and to have patience. I need to keep reminding myself "that patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish". I was told the other day by a close friend that smiling and good humor come with ease to me and that I should continue to humor myself with kindness and hope. That I will have my fitness return to me. "You've inspired me to take on running again". To hear that I have inspired someone again gives me the hope and the courage to return to my former self and continue to help and inspire those wherever they need it.
Live with intention
Walk to the edge.
Dare. Listen hard.
Practice wellness. Laugh.
Continue to learn.
Play with abandon.
Appreciate your friends.
Do what you love.
Live as if this is all there is.

We Know you can get back to the form we saw in CDA last summer! But take time to enjoy the work of getting back there. For life is to be enjoyed, even temporary set backs!! Love Dad

Great thoughts to kick off 2009. Think of it as a rebuilding year :) I'll be right there with you when you're ready to start swimming again.

Hope you have a wonderful New Year!!!!
