Slowing Down to Catch Up



These days I've been feeling like a slug on the racetrack of life.  Why a slug, you ask?  Because I have felt increasingly slug-ish (I'm actually looking a bit slug-like, too).

I'm sure it can be attributed to the let-down felt after a nice break from the norm.

Our fall break trip to CA started a bit... rough.  The 16-hour trip turned to just over 18, thanks to the lovely weather conditions (pictured above), a near accident which very well could have included a tumble in the car - a literal miracle that we did not go off the road, a malfunctioning gas tank requiring fill-ups every 200 miles or so, and an hour-long stop on I-15 between Cedar City and St. George due to two separate life-flight-requiring accidents not far ahead of us.

But, lest you think it was all a bunch of yuck, once we arrived, things couldn't have been better.

The reuniting of family.
The weather.
The food.
The fun.
The politics.

I'm taking the catch up slowly, so as not to disturb my forward momentum since returning, sluggish as it is.  Stay tuned.
