Golden Days

It's so nice outside I want to cry.  I have a day off AND it's good weather... who could ask for more, right?

Me.  I could.  All the things I have to get done before Monday require me to be inside, mostly sitting in front of my computer, looking longingly out the window.  I know you know what that feels like.

That's okay, though, because when I'm done I'll feel almost as good as if I'd spent the day frolicking amongst the rays of sunlight bouncing of the garage door.  Hmmm.  On second thought.

Actually, I'm more than thankful I have this time to catch up on things that make it possible to frolic in the first place.  If I play my cards right, I'll have paid off my car in enough time to still be able to call it new,  and be in prime position to knock the 8 ball into the credit-card-debt pocket.  I'm lining up my shots, so to speak, and it feels really good.  I'll be debt-free, enjoying cocktails in the summer heat.  So I win.

My foot is healing after almost 3 years of this Plantar Fasciitis BS.  I'm actually considering training for another sprint tri, thanks to my ambitious sister-in-law.  She's kicking so much ass it reminds me how good it feels to set my sights on a physical goal and do whatever it takes to get there!  She's made huge strides where she could have been taking baby-steps.  Or maybe we can still call them baby steps since she just had  one.  Either way.

Then there's my sister, who is so close to reaching her goal she can taste it.  No pun intended.  Not to mention that she did the majority of the work while planning her amazing wedding and starting her own business.  Nothing short of miraculous.

It's so fantastic having strong women in my life.  I love being able to find inspiration everywhere I look!  People who machete their own paths get a standing salute, a weeping ovation.  It's freaking beautiful!
