I have surprised
myself with a desire to post in my Blog far sooner than I thought.
Perhaps it
is because I am so bored, it’s driving me crazy, while the month of January
started out busy the last week and a half have been terribly quiet for my
business. In the past three days I have not received a single phone call and
few emails worth any mention.
Dry spells
have happened before, and, in other times they might even be a welcome excuse
to get out and run but with the weather we have had lately …. Well let’s just
say running in single digits, no longer, as the song goes is, “One of My
Favorite Things”. Not to say that I have been a complete laggard, I managed to
run a hundred twenty six miles this month with the majority of them being run in snow and temps below twenty degrees.
In addition
to the business lull there has been a hit to the “personal side” of my life.
The Reiki Master, Dee Grimmett, one of those who helped me through the darkest
moments of Cancer treatments, died. Dee was one of the kindest individuals I
have ever known with a “Wild Streak”, I never would have imagined until I was
enlightened at her funeral. I was fortunate enough to see Dee perhaps a couple
of weeks prior to her death at Frederick Memorial Hospital, we had a splendid
hour and a half conversation. I have also had friends and family facing issues
that I care not to discuss, except to say that the downwards spiral will cease,
just like the cold temps of winter will yield to the inevitable consequence of
spring.
As for me
this cold weather has been unkind to my hands and feet with hands being far
worse than feet (THANK GOD). I often go to bed trying to avoid pain killers but
more often than not, lately, I relent after two or three hours in favor of getting
needed sleep. I am concerned about the addictive potential of the narcotics I’m
taking but I am on a very low dose and almost never need more than five milligrams
a day. They work well, pain is relieved and they don’t seem to give me any sort
of “High”, which I experienced once when I screwed up and in no way liked it.
At least I have that going for me.
Punxsutawney Phil will crawl out of his hole this weekend,
the little Celtic Devil will predict the outcome of the rest of this winter, No
matter what HIS VERDICT I’m sure we are in for it at least another six weeks,
could be worse but I’m an optimist.
Come on Spring ...... Mike
