Thursday

Today was so much fun. A friend from high school came into town and we met for lunch at a great restaurant. I was thinking that Teri and I hadn’t seen each other since our high school days – over 20 years ago!, but she reminded me that we did run into each other once right after Caleb was born. We had a great time, but the conversation was way too short. I’m thinking about seeing if we can start making some plans to get together once every other month so we make sure to keep in touch.

It was fun catching up on what was all going on in her life. But, it was very eye opening to compare some notes about our high school experiences. We lost track through those last couple of years and I found out from Teri that I had been a bit mean toward her at one time. I feel awful about it and am so happy that she said something. Obviously, we are both able to get past it and I still consider her a very good friend.

I find it interesting reflecting back on high school and comparing it to what Caleb & Faith are going through. Now, what they tell me seems so minor. However, my discussion with Teri really made me think about how major those things become in our lives. As teenagers, were unable to work through our issues, but as adults we can talk about it, reflect on it, and make changes to our lives because of it. Boy, am ever more happy to be getting older & to still have such great friends in my life!!

Positives for today:

1. Catching up with Teri – this counts for the top 5 of my positives!
   
2. Caleb is 0.5% away from a “C” in Algebra. Completing the assignment with him each night & paying off. And, I’m learning – unfortunately, though, I’m learning something that I’ll never use
   
3. Good coffee
   

Healthy Living Update: Ok, just so you know, I haven’t been posting the details on this on a daily basis anymore because I got tired of saying the same thing. So, instead, I am going to update you all periodically on my progress. For now, let’s just say that I’m still working out some kinks in my plan. But, I’m continuing to devote thinking time to being healthier which is prompting some better choices along the way!
