I enjoy looking back at my old blog particularly some of the pictures and also of course my training notes. Here are the top ten things I noticed.
10) my grandchildren were alrready marvelous then, and they have grown so fast since.
9) I was 3 years younger then and although my face has aged since, my body really hasn't.
8) My wife was 3 years younger then and she hasn't aged at all.
7) I can run faster now than I did then.
6) My swimming sucked then and has probably deteriorated since.
5) I was longer winded back then, but funnier too.
4) A different time just means different children causing anxiety. It never ends.
3) The moments of doubt, and the moments of confidence remain the same...up and down.
2) I was then, and remain immensely grateful for the gifts I have in my life, most notably my family.
....but by far the most re-occurring theme I noticed on looking back that is no longer with me is...
1) talk of depression!!!!!
Life is good!! Game on!!
(ride 50 kms, swim 1000 metres, weights)
...I can attest to this one

Love this blog. Take note of time you sent it: message from your angels " 10:10 is the Alpha-Omega number. The number of beginnings and endings, it is full of promise, and of opening to the "Compassionate Heart."
