The day after Valentine's

Yes, I really felt the day after Valentine's day would be gloomy.
It was and it wasn't.
It was because the Sun didn't shine all day and it looked gloomy all day.
But it wasn't for me, because I was feeling good today! YAY!
I have not walked the River in a long, long time and I decided I was going to do it!
When I got there, I could see clouds rolling in and it looked like it was going to rain.
But I decided to walk anyway and see how far I could go before the rain started.
Well, it sprinkled now and then, but it never rained hard, so I was able to do the
 whole 11 miles.

So I felt good about myself today. Even though, I haven't walked or jogged much at all since the 1/2 mara -
 I did accomplish something today.
And I even got to talk to a good friend on the phone (during my walk) that I haven't talked to in months.
I also got to talk to my daughter a little bit.
Then after getting home and cleaning up, I went to Ephrata.
I visited my M-I-L, Vera in the hospital and I was able to do a few things for her.
I felt like I may have lifted her day a little and then I went to visit my buddie Connie at work.
We had a great talk and I saw a few other pals and I really felt like it was a great day.
Wow.....I'm getting easier to please in my old age!

Speaking of old age, I've been cleaning out old letters that I've had. I hate to say it, but some of them are clear from Middle School. I even had some old valentines in there. I realized that these things are 40 +
years old!
I finally threw a bunch of these things away. But it was fun to go through a lot of them (especially the ones from my High School friends that wrote me when I went to BYU)
The Nostalgia really had set in after I read a lot of those letters.
Jay had written me a lot of mushy, lovey, dovey letters!  Can you believe that! I had to show him.
Anyways, I found a wedding invitation from an old roommate at BYU and decided to look up her name on Facebook. I found her! It was so great to re-connect and she looks like the same fun Jeanne that I remember. What an exciting thing it was. Life has really changed for us with all that we can do on the internet!
