I am SO excited that (aside from your forced...Yay!<br /><br />I am SO excited that (aside from your forced separation from your Prince Charming!) your 2015 was SO wonderful!<br /><br />I have known of too many people who had hard and harsh trials, and reflect on 2015 with mixed emotions. I have been making the rounds, being supportive.<br /><br />Personally...some abrupt challenges, quickly followed by needed miracles, has been the rule for me for 2015.<br /><br />I am the only member in my family, so I take my responsibility for praying and fasting and exercising faith on their behalf seriously.<br /><br />My Dad had a stroke on his birthday in September, and it was in a part of the brain where you would not notice it right away. Heavenly Father clued me in in time. He can walk and talk and think clearly and his personality is intact. All blessings of Heavenly Father's miraculous intervention.<br /><br />IN the meantime...my Dad was out of the hospital and home on a weekend pass from the rehab facility, attending a great-granddaughter's birthday celebration, when my older sister's husband was goofing around and injured his knee. The pain was so great that he had to go to the hospital...where they discovered that a stint that was placed in his heart previously, was clogged, and he was actually in the midst of a heart attack. If he had not broken his knee...he would have been home asleep...dead.<br /><br />So we were collectively grateful for a broken knee.<br /><br />Problems with solutions are good. *grins*<br /><br />As for myself, regarding exercise...I run. A lot.<br /><br />I also do body weight exercises. Handstand push-ups, one-hand push-ups (even in my *ahem* advanced years, I can still do my age in one-hand push-ups, then switch hands and do my age again) four types of pull-ups/chin-ups, and one-leg squats.<br /><br />Thus, I can toss them off whenever and where-ever during the course of the day.<br /><br />There's more re exercise, but those are the basics.<br /><br />As for family fun...my children were parentally-abducted (against the law in Canada) back in 2006. So I haven't seen my babies since they were 7,5,3 and 1 respectively.<br /><br />Ongoing, excruciating psychological torture. <br /><br />My lovely ex-bride had mental health issues. No, I don't hate her.<br /><br />I realize a great many people have it worse than me.<br /><br />Heavenly Father helps me deal. I'll see them again.<br /><br />That love burns brightly! And I am grateful for every moment I was with them.<br /><br />I am grateful I can be here for my parents in their time of need.<br /><br />I avoid dating.<br /><br />Yes. I am a wimp.<br /><br />Face down a pack of wolves...sure.<br /><br />Date again?<br /><br />Too scary. *grins*<br /><br />As to shopping...as a guy...I CAN do the whole: "I'm cold. (Enters nearest store and buys nearest jacket) I'm not cold anymore.<br /><br />BUT...<br /><br />I acted in a lot of plays while at BYU, so I can ALSO appreciate crawling through the costume racks and bins searching for just the right look.<br /><br />But it's been a while.<br /><br />And...with no significant other...no female to romance...then there's no reason to make that kind of effort.<br /><br />But reading and researching!<br /><br />That makes my heart sparkle!
