My Motorcycle Injuries

The holidays are coming soon, and on my wife's side of the family this means that everyone will be busy with countless details in order to get things like food, homes, and event details ready. It's all a little excessive, but why be all Scroogy about it on this blog when they get enough of it from me in person. Anyhoo, the whole planning thing caused me to think a little about the things that have been going on for me these past couple of months. I'm taking a trip overseas in early January (Turkey, Israel, and Jordon... don't ask). I've been exercising like it matters because the trip that I'm taking will require a lot of daily walking and I also have an A1C test coming up in late December. Also, I've been super careful about my eating in order to keep my blood glucose level in good shape.

I haven’t written anything here over the past few weeks, and I’m typing now to simply say that I don’t really have a lot to say at this time. I think that there are points in life where you deal with the things at hand while facing each day with a sense of duty and/or determination. Things hurt, things don’t always work right, you feel your body fighting against your efforts to function normally, and you just have to move forward anyway. This accident has changed a lot of things for me, but it hasn’t changed me. Life is for living, and that’s what I’ve been doing over the past several weeks. Busy, distracted, and balancing every concern with every assurance. There are things that are far more important than my body, and I’m a little intrigued these days by the way in which life just goes on. In the end it’s all about living.
