Along the lines of being responsible for our own happiness, I'm trying to take back some control in that area. Actually, I think I was doing very well until my dad got sick and passed away and then my son's best friend dying... but time to regroup and get back on track.
I'm going skiing this Sunday. I was going alone but a friend from the ski shop where STBX works asked if I wanted him to go too, so that will be fun. Just platonic, for me anyway, and it will be nice to have someone to ride up with. I got the bike rack off and ski rack on by myself today which felt good. Basketball is starting up this week for my son, senior year, so that will be fun and keep me busy with tournament stuff that parents do, etc. Going for a run in the morning and then hope to make the most of the weekend.
Thanksgiving was good, and busy. I thought I didn't want anything to do with the traditions, as this is the first holiday without my dad, but it was somehow comfortable and he would have enjoyed the day too plus the Broncos won. Every time I watch a game I remember watching the Broncos with my dad in his Hospice room and my dad saying it might be our last game to watch together. It was, but he's still with me and I feel like he's near when I'm watching a game.
