The Ass Most Kicked

I do not think my "ass" could feel much more kicked than it does right now.   With increased intensity comes increased reward...and if we are honest; increased suffering.  This is not a complaint mind you, merely a recognition of the masochistic side of my nature.  I am beat up and LOVING it!  A thunder storm was rolling in tonight about midrun.  The rain and breezes are a pleasant side effect in our Florida heat and humidity but I am not a fan of harsh lightning so I had to shorten a little.  It wasn't until I walked in the door that I realized how truly sore I am.  Even the dog gets a pass on the cool down walk tonight. 

I've been feeling a lot of gratitude this week.  Work is not quite so insane, which is season appropriate and the break has allowed me to not only catch up, but back up and take stock in more ways than the literal.  I am so pleased with the job change, now a year in.  I have a wonderful staff and they make me look good every day.  The job change was a pensive one and it has paid off on so many levels.  I am in the healthiest and most positive relationship I have ever had and the only regret therein is that I did not know that was possible 30 years ago!  I have less to worry about than I have ever had in my entire life.  My 19 year old daughter is a bit of a mess BUT in truth her direction is more in her own hands than my own and even I recognize the need to let her make her own way. 

Goals continue to trudge forward....more things gathered up and laundered for consignment and additional items on ebay.  Each day brings us closer to vacation and closer to goals being met.  Hump day done...ass kicked.  :)
