Castlewood I.

This morning started at a groggy 6am (early for me); I stumble into biking clothes I set out last night and we kick out the door while it's still dark. Headed over to QT for my sugar-syrupy-mocha-drink and then made it to Castlewood by the time the sun came up. Chilly.

This is a great Thursday. I am happy. Extremely, selfishly happy.

My list for 2006:
struggle less against things I have no (or little) control over: traffic, childrens' moods, other peoples' happiness and health…
eat cleanly, simply and for nourishment
eat more raw fruit and vegetables
stay fit, stay healthy
learn to race bicycles and race well
live honestly and give more freely (just a bit more than feels comfortable)
drive a car only when necessary (walk or ride everywhere else)
understand the difference between sponteneity and stupidity
stay true to my word
keep learning– old and new
sleep as much as I need
document my life with pictures– print, organize, keep and look at them
continue to simplify with the "buy one, get rid of one" mentality
learn to swim for distance
practice yoga
reflect daily
communicate with my family and always tel them how much they mean to me
send birthday/thank you/etc. cards
paint (and think of it with fondness)
live always to make memories
