Sun at last!

Can you believe we had sun today?? After morning dark workout I was itching all day to get out on trails and enjoy a dry run. Of course I had to work, then meet Stephen from school while making dinner, then feed the kids...but at 3:30 pm I was off! It was wonderful, to visit my local Tryon park with softest trails on earth, see the day light, not wear a long sleeve shirt and a hat, hassle up the hills and fly down! On top of it seems like the high school track season is about to begin, and kids got out to prepare for training sessions. Girls and boys were everywhere you look. It added energy, I just couldn't slog been watched, besides, who knows, some of them might have been my future track student:) Though according to their expected times the head coach sent me, I am still hardly keeping up with the slowest group...

I had finally taken my online exam for a Nurse Assistant (may be my husband was right, I definitely underselling myself, it was a joke after getting through a med school), so as soon as I get a certificate, I can put that “foot in a door” of going back to working in medicine, been with patients and feeling the instant gratification of a job that I love and that brings help to a person, each and every one separately...

On a different note, our older son Alex seems to have made a decision about going to a boarding school. It's best for him, and we supposed to take him there this Saturday. I can't quite picture leaving this young man, who in fact is still just a baby, my baby, all by himself, but in a real world he needs to learn independency and responsibility, choices and consequences, and it's not quite working out at home, no matter how much we try. So it’s our job as parents to help him in his growth and support him. Say a prayer for him, please.
