Happy Holidays

Well, a few more days go by...
Things are starting to get crazy. Our niece will have her third heart surgery on next Thursday (11 Dec 08). Keep her in your prayers.
We will get pack out dates next week - looks like most of our stuff will be crated up the first week of January. Therefore we are skipping the Christmas tree this year.
The running ambitions have run away. I continue to jog but just do not have the time to dedicate to such an undertaking.
I will write more as we have more information to tell.

Oh yeah, forgot to put what my Maybe Today was.
Today, I decided to forgo sanity.
I decided to add loops to the crazy roller coaster we are already on...
No Maybe about it...
Today, I decided to train to run a half marathon.
Jason thinks I have lost my mind. Or more to the point, he questions why would I add such an ambitious goal to my already crazy schedule...
We move to England in 15 weeks.
I want to run 13+ miles - AT ONE TIME - in 13 weeks.
Well, this is the start of the story. And it may wind up being just a story to me.
Like I said, it would not be particularly interesting - but I bet there are some funny parts along the way.
But for tonight - I'll be running off to bed... and soon!

Starting Point

First, it is raining outside. I am reminded of childhood, growing up on the "farm" and how the rain sounded on the roof, fireplace and the skylights.
Those same memories are the inspiration for naming this blog. At first I wanted the title to be quirky and unique, catchy and cool. But instead, I happened upon meaningful/personal.
There is a sign that hangs by the back door of Nana's house. It is faded, sort of orange, with the words "Maybe Today". We saw that sign almost every day - every time we passed through the back door. Few others have lived their life as a better devotion - or derived greater peace from those two words than Nana. So, with the endless positive and amazing possibilities that could complete that phrase...Maybe Today...
