It's March, Time for March Madness

Hello, World, I'm back at it again. Blogging, that is. March, my favorite month. Blizzards and Spring. Health, Sickness, and, hopefully, not Death. March Madness...basketball tournament time! It's a good month. March On, if you will. Well, time for a little update. My son's basketball team plays for the local Regional championship tonight. I hope he wins, he deserves it. He's a good kid, just lacks some self-confidence and a free-throw stroke. But it's there, he just has to dig deeper to find it, the confidence that is. His team is dear to my heart as 4 of the starting 5 are kids who started playing together in 6th grade. Where did the time go? Life, it's like a sandy beach, always changing with each day. I want the best for my son and I will do my best to provide it. And, my daughter too, she's maturing right before my eyes. I'm so worried she will rush into a relationship commitment she might regret. But, all I can do is trust. In her, in her brother, and in God. He will Provide. Direction and Guidance, just ask, it will be there.
March, a tough month for a runner. I'm committed to a 13.2 mile race on the 18th and am no where near ready. The last six weeks have been winter's best shot at Glen Ellyn and my miles have suffered. Have I lost my taste for marathoning? Maybe, but not for running.
Big news today. My step-dad called and said please come down and spend a few days with me.
I'm worried because he must be worried. About my mother, about his health, about the future and what little is left of it. Growing old, man it's a tough thing to do. No manual, no insight, nothing to lean on. Just experience and trust. It works, but it's a hard thing to do.
March Madness..another chapter. I am now a Vitamix kind-of-guy! Never thought I would take to cutting up fruits and vegetables for the sake of blending. But my commitment to eating better is the driving force and my Vitamix 3600 the tool. I made two smoothies yesterday and today and were they good...Summer Citrus Cocktail and Raspberry Zinger...wow! While doubtful, maybe cooking is in my future. Well, so much for some for health therapy. Blogging, everybody should do it sometime. March on.
