bright_new_day...it's almost unfathomable how ruthless they can be during times like these.

I got off work a little early yesterday and got on my bicycle, even though the wind here was atrocious. I did 77 miles yesterday...I was a glutton for punishment. It was good for me though...in lots of ways. I was too tired to drink my beer when I got in. I laid in bed and watched the OU women whip Kentucky. Yea Sooners! Final Four here we come.

Our choices as adults are almost unlimited, and sometimes they are painful...but it is still within our power to make choices. We here are having to deal with some really bad and painful things...but we have the freedom to choose every step of the way the manner in which we are going to respond to these bad and painful things. We have to acknowledge this freedom.

The more I learn about it, I think compassion is a huge strength, especially that for ourselves!
