For the first time in a long time, I feel like I am back on my A game. I cleaned and washed and folded and organized and showered and cooked fajitas for dinner. I even went out and helped Owen learn to ride his bike in the afternoon. We all went to Austin's baseball game for family night, and still managed to come home and sing a song, have a lesson, read our scriptures, and say family prayer.
Our home teacher, Adam King, came over to help Greg give Miles a blessing in preparation for his sinus surgery tomorrow. He is nervous and excited at the same time. I hope it helps him so much.
Then, I got everyone showered and into bed while Greg went out on a brisk walk. I cleaned everything up, finished the dishes and laundry, and got into my running clothes.
Once Greg got back, I went out into the warm night air for a run. I knew I wouldn't be able to go out with my group in the morning. I ran fast and hard for almost four miles. It felt really great. I loved feeling the warm air against my skin, and hearing my music playing in my ears, and feeling the rhythm of my feet against the pavement. It was a beautiful night and a wonderful experience.
I came home to a quiet, dark house. Greg was relaxing in bed, working on a crossword puzzle. I took a quick shower and fell into bed, tired in a good way. I had a fleeting thought of gratitude for all that I am able to do and how much I would miss it all if I weren't able to do it. I am so very grateful for my life. Every day, every breath...I'm so blessed.
