Christmas Vacation 2009

It was a great one--about ten days long. Full of love, sleep, running, reading often and widely, some good long runs (12, 9 and 5), four movies, two fine holiday parties with lovely friends.

Finished a wonderful, powerful bio of Winston Churchill by Paul Johnson. I recommend this book highly. I find Churchill to be one of the most inspirational figures in history. Lots of people share that view.

Very very refreshing time.

A time to dream big dreams. There is no limit to what we can do. As Brenda Ueland and Wm. Blake said so well:" God is the creative imagination, and the more you use your imagination generously for the benefit of others, the more you have."

2010 is going to be a great year for all of us.

Happy New Year.

  1. And wearing a warm cozy Illini Orange North Face fleece. That must have been nice.

  2. Matthew is correct. I was wearing the orange Illini vest that he and Stacey got me for Christmas. It kept me in great warmth during this very challenging run. Only the hardiest of marathoners were out on that blustery day.

    But, the bragging rights brought a high price.
