Well, that was quite a gap. In the interim, the sprained ankle has healed, the hockey season has started (at least for my rec teams and for Michigan), I've fallen in love with cross fit, we went to San Diego and New York City, many batches of chili have been made, I got a promotion at work, the cold frame is up, and winter is here. In the past, I would have said so much has happened.
But a college friend passed away this week. A wickedly smart, funny friend that I hadn't seen in a few years and now I never will see again. A friend I am determined to remember as I knew him in college and not in the casket I saw him in this week. I am faced with a friendship that, because of the "busyness" of life, I let slip. And I so regret that.
5 years can go by in a heartbeat. 10 years in a few breaths. I want to slow my heart rate and my breathing down to a crawl.
And so I brush the dust off my blog once again in hopes of slowing down my life and focusing on the good stuff. The small stuff. The take a walk after dinner stuff. The get together for lunch or for coffee stuff. The best girlfriend coming into town for a night stuff. The sit in the backyard with your Dad stuff. The hang out with your cats stuff.
The stuff that matters in life.
