I am not sure why I haven&#8217;t written.   I have plenty to say&#8230; (no surprise there&#8230;).   But I have missed that dance that my fingers do with the keyboard.  I have missed letting thoughts  flow.<\/p>\n<p>I really yearn to write a book.  But writing a novel has never been a goal.  I am not a storyteller.   It is such a talent&#8230; to tell a great story.  <\/p>\n<p>My husband has this gift.  Long time ago, when we were in university, he told me a ridiculous  story\/not really a story about the Northern Guinea Pig.  It is a very long speal.  I actually can&#8217;t remember anything about it&#8230; but was secretly thrilled that he was talking to me on the phone for such a period of time.  It was after this little encounter that I discovered he was a great bull-pooper.<\/p>\n<p>How I love him for all those crazy traits.  I also  love when I KNOW I am  RIGHT about a fact and HE is WRONG!  Of course that doesn&#8217;t happen very often.  He IS the one working on his doctorate and I am the one whining about some of my children inheriting my genes.<\/p>\n<p>Genes&#8230; what a scary thing.  I am reading this book called <span style=\"font-style:italic;\"> Still Alice<\/span> about this Harvard professor that has early onset Alzheimer&#8217;s disease.  It is an amazingly written book that has had me thinking of my grandmother who had it and lived with it for over 20 years.  Will my mom get it?  Will I ?  It makes you walk in that person&#8217;s shoes.  It has kept me wake thinking of the many horrid diseases that leave you helpless&#8230; especially ALS or Alzheimer.  No, I don&#8217;t wish any kind of illness, but I think that it is easier to be able to do something or fight somehow.<\/p>\n<p>These are thoughts that are coming from reading this book.  I will definitely need a light read after this.<\/p>\n<p>It is Spring Break!  Actually I like the term March Break then there is no  disappointment when this -15 degrees Celsius hits.<br \/>We are relaxing (as much as boys can relax).  We will do a day in Toronto&#8230; hit the Hockey Hall of Fame, CN Tower and ride a street car.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe we will get a bit a of skiing in, weather permitting.<\/p>\n<p>It is a break.  We so needed a break.  This time change has been brutal.  We will watch movies and just hang out.<\/p>\n<p>I am going to buy an elliptical.  Sanj is a 100% against it.   He says look in the ads&#8230; you will see &#8220;gently used exercise equipment.&#8221;  Yes, I know this to be true.  But I also feel that I will use it.  The days\/weeks I can&#8217;t get to the gym like this week coming&#8230; I can do cardio at home.  We&#8217;ll see.<\/p>\n<p>I feel better.  Writing.  It is a part of me.  It is like I have been holding my breath.  Aw&#8230; there is the release.  <br \/>I realize I am just rambling.  But it still feels good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have missed writing. I am not sure why I haven&#8217;t written. I have plenty to say&#8230; (no surprise there&#8230;).
