Since the last post a lot of things have happened, all of them good.

First of all, I’m feeling much better mentally and physically.
The occasional left hip/femur pain has been gone for days. I’ve been able to avoid Advil for weeks
and mentally I’m back on my game.

I spent six hours yesterday painting and redecorating one of our guest bedrooms. Today we got up and walked four miles in the 23rd annual ‘Trolley Run’. This year it benefited a wonderful organization that my 3 year old nephew utilizes, CCVI (Children’s Center for the Visually Impaired). There must have been 12,000 runners and walkers. It was amazing and felt really good to walk on such a beautiful morning!

After words I came home, spent about an hour in the yard and then put the finishing touches on the guest room.Tonight Brad and I attended a Confirmation meeting at church and now the family is relaxing watching a little television.

So the secret? Just stay incredibly busy! Mary asks me to slow down all the time, but I can’t. I won’t if this is the end result.
