Dancing geese ....

My geese (God gave me a flock for Christmas if you did not know that already!) were dancing for me today. I was enjoying the sanctuary that my car has become, listening to classical music, and unwinding from a full day of sessions when I looked up and saw my geese all scattered. At first I was a little unnerved about them being out of their formation (yes, as much as I hate to admit it structure does make me very happy ... I organize Kirst's pantry about once a month because I like it ... sad eh, very sad ... not so sad for Kirst). I was quickly relieved to discover that they were simply dancing. The leaders falling back to rest their wings and the followers slowly moving up the V into their new places. It really did look like a dance ... and it made my heart dance. I also saw a huge flock land on the river ... it is really an incredible thing to see ... they slowly decent in a funnel ... just like a tornado of geese ... hmmmmm.

My little Tayah bear was cracking me up tonight. Her mom would say no to something and she would turn around and look at me with this look that was entirely comprised of sneakiness. I wish I had a picture. No matter how crappy my day was, or what kind of pain I am in ... it all seems to fade when I enter Kirst's house and see Tayah stand up in her chair and grin and bounce ... and feel the weight of Jamison in my arms.

Training is going ... depends on the day. Some days I feel very frustrated with my body ... get mad at it ... then feel guilty and admire its strength ... it's resilience. Counting the hours until my monthly massage! From a psychological perspective it is not the healthiest relationship ... but we are working on it! I have run the full 5 km a couple times now! You wanna know a secret? I am SO proud of myself. I just wish that the run was first, then the bike, then the swim ... maybe I should start lobbying for that.

I have next week off for spring-break and was in Austin this time last year lounging by Lindsey's pool all day ... mmmmm ... I want.
