Silence Speaks ...

I just got off my bike trainer in the basement after a 20mile ride.  It felt good.  So did yesterday's ride.  I don't hold the illusion that I'll bike 20 miles a day, everyday, but its a start. Just like the New Year is a new start.
We can keep on, keeping on.  Or we can start a new.  Behaviors are a rut, easy to slip back into, an they can be monstrously difficult to get out of.  That holds true for kids and their physical and emotional behaviors (so we've learned).  That holds true for older kids like me.  I've gotten away from exercising as often as I would like to.  As often as I need to.  I've gotten away from being the Clown.  You know every parent is either the Clown or the Policeman, or something like that.  I never really like the Muppet's, but sometime I feel like one of those crotchety old men that were movie critiques or something.  The fun is in there.  I need to figure out the right rut to slip back into groove.  I'll happen.  Maybe I just need to get more sleep.  Its a toss up.  Me time.  or Sleep.  Surprisingly difficult to balance in a house with 6.

Had a routine checkup today.  For nothing special, and nothing special came out of it.  That is except apparently the scale as the Doctors office is clearly faulty.   Probably about 10lbs faulty. So the time on the bike trainer will help that.  The weekend runs with the "men's group" will help that also.

I read something on just recently about the phrase "Silence Speaks Volumes".  What I read was that, usually silence is the result of having so much to say, that you can't put it all together to simply express what you are feeling.  Silence expresses emotion properly, whereas words and more words really just get in the way and cloud up the real emotions. So to that end...
