flat route today

tried the flat route today....I was tired...don't have to work today..
so i thought that it would be a good day to go..since i could not remember exactly how long it usually takes me.....headed out feeling pretty good but the further i went..the worse i felt.....I think..i did not eat or drink very well yesterday...it was a yuck run....not enough energy on a road that should have been much easier than the hills and curves i am accustomed to.....but....just so you know....i have to tellyou a little about the way this morning looked......the dark trees sitting at the end of the road were framed by the pink of the rising sun...the yards are all green from the late night storm...and the flowers of spring are blooming everywhere....the people are all still asleep..and i travel alone this morning..me and my thoughts......the music plays....chicago.....don't wanta live without your love....Hollywood...Harder to breathe......Sunday morning....Steve McQueen...
all good to run to...altho...my running sucked..big time.........

the day is going to be full of chores....and getting ready for the weekend of work....
I am kind of glad.....no plans for me......and i can just work and lose myself in that......patients and doctors and nurses...and the problems that go with it all.....
babies reaching up and up..and the first cries of new life.....pink lips..and blue eyes..and small round heads......fingers and toes so small that it makes you smile just looking at them...and bundles of blankets waiting to wrap them up ...to hand to moms....too tired to think about all that has transpired.....but relieved that their work is done........this is the gift that i have been given.....being allowed to be present when new life begins....................such serious thoughts...... :-)


my boys are getting ready for the last day of school for this week....
they are stumbling around here acting like they are on their last leg.....kids..are sooo funny.....i have 17 and 14 yrold boys....nothing like 2 teenage boys.....usually not tooo hard to figure out.....sometimes i wish i had 6 just like them...and sometimes...i am glad for these 2.......we share a bond that is good........
while i work this weekend...they will keep things going...the house will be filled with teenagers on saturday night...and i can sit downstairs and listen to their laughs..and some of their crazy conversations......they have good friends..and good times.....it is nice to be young and carefree......come to think of it..it is pretty nice to be old and carefree.....LOL...............

well..this was a rambling blog.......

hope your weekend is wonderful...!!!
