I need to write more in this dang thing, if only to unload. This has been...I'm tempted to say one of the worst years of my life, but really, the worst year that I can remember.
- I can't go into detail about this here, but there are two people I love dearly, who are really really hurting emotionally right now. And there is nothing I can do to help.
- Four people who have been a big part of my life, anywhere from 6 years to my entire life time, have died this year: Ed Peabody, cousin Sandy Fitz-Henry, John Rudibaugh, and Nancy Aigeldinger. And another person I adore is fighting for his life.
- I got a random CAT scan and the results showed that I have such high calcium volume, that I am at serious risk of a cardiac event. I took a follow up stress test and passed with flying colors, so the concern is somewhat muted, but regardless, I've changed by diet and lifestyle considerably, and have lost around 15 pounds this year.
- I am so beyond discouraged by our political situation that I have stopped reading any news about it, well, 90% of it anyway.
No wonder, for the first time in my life, I find myself tearing (teering, not taring) up repeatedly during any given day for months now.
Or maybe I'm just upset because the Phillies are on the verge of elimination from the playoffs, the Eagles lost for the first time in almost a year and Penn State had one of their worst losses in the school's history.
But I don't think so.
My next post, or soon, anyway, will be all the wonderful things in my life...and there are way way more of those than the bad things, too many to mention really.
