Life's Changes

Wow, it's been more than a year since my last blog. I have been purposely absent from the blogosphere because I didn't want to publish something that I might regret. Much has happened since my last blog, most notably I got divorced after 28 years of faithful matrimony. I reached my 55th birthday in good health and launched a maddening drive to keep my sanity. That maddening drive to stave madness consisted of becoming a fitness freak for the year. It started with training for a marathon and actually running my first ever marathon. I continued the pace by training for a triathlon and finishing my first ever "tri," earing third place in my age group. I finished in Oct by running a half marathon, something I had done a few times before. I kept the house after the divorce and I started to make some minor renovations for a new look. That effort stalled when I injured my shoulder AND the physical training got intense. It's still a work in progress. It's been a good year, but given what has happened, I continue to shy away from blogging to avoid saying things that I or others may regret.
