    I stopped in to grab a slice of pizza on my way home from work. There was a gift tree there from my office, it has senior gift wishes. There was one left! It was a 83 year old man that wanted a blanket. My phone rang and I got sidetracked, leaving without it. I lost sleep over this last night. 😭.

    I just called and asked if it was still there, and it is. Don't you worry young man...I gotchu! I'mma get you the most snuggliest blanket money can buy

    Did you drink a half Dr Pepper too?

    Three sips of a Pepsi. Are you like me? Or did you actually remember me saying that the only time I drink soda is when I eat pizza?

    I remembered how you do

    My 14 year old made me a banana and sour cream omelette. Don’t knock it till you try it.

    Playing coach today for some friends. 2 for 2 golds for one friend. The other ended up with a silver and a fourth place. Bit too shabby for someone who isn't officially a coach

    I took myself for a little walk with no watch or step counter, no podcast, audiobook, or music. I walked & touched trees and let my mind wander & wondered how long I’d have to walk like that before the inner monologue stfu. But it was so good & I’m feeling a little more centered now.

    My adult son, now serving in the Army on the other side of the country, was previously told he wouldn't be able to come home for the holidays. About ten days ago the unit changed its mind to allow a small handful of people to go on leave, and my son secured one of these passes. Without telling a soul, he got on a plane, flew home, called a friend to pick him up from the airport, and rang our doorbell while his friend stood to the side with a video camera rolling. The scream of joy from my wife when she opened the door will stick with me for a long time.

    Putting together a weight-lifting workout routine for my son to take back to his Army base with him, I started going through my old lifting logs. One page featured, very prominently, a new one-rep-max lift on bench press, underlined and circled because it was a big deal at the time.

    Realized I just lifted that same weight repeatedly during today's workout like it was no big deal.

    A pretty amazing phone call this morning AND getting up to go to the gym this morning was easier than last week!

    A stranger in the gym complimented my strength and deadlift form. Now she goes on the Christmas cookie list.

    @Minion_training_program made me smile. His extremely kind words and the fact he took the time to write them. It made me smile. And tear up a little. He’s an amazing friend.
