I have done it. The end of an era. I have finished my 2HC journey. I am so glad I did it, and I am sure that I made a good decision to end it. I will have a lot more freedom and flexibility now. It was such a sweet send off and probably the nicest send off I have ever had. They sent me flowers and read blessings from each of the leaders. It was wonderful.
To celebrate, I went out to Elmer's with George and went up into the Paul Dunn Forest with Nancy riding their e-mountain bikes. How fun. We went really far. I have 13 miles on my watch, but we had already done a loop to Moss Rock and back and then were half way up the hill before I turned my watch on. I wasn't sure how to count it as I am not peddling like I would on a normal bike, but I am putting some effort into it. We probably went closer to 20 miles when all was said and done. We climbed high up on a ridge overlooking the valley. It was a perfect day, not too hot and not too cold. Lovely. Then she made me a wonderful lunch and we sat out on her deck with Kevin for half the time and the rest of the time, Nancy and I talked about abiding in Christ and deeper things of the soul. I was there from 11-5:30! Yikes. I didn't mean to stay so long, but we had not seen each other since December 17th. So there was a lot to catch up on.
So, here I sit before church. We are going to the later service today because there is a meeting after church that George is helping lead up, and I will go to as support.
Sad thing was that I stayed so long at Nancy's that I didn't get to go to the potluck for the P's. George went without me and a funny picture of me from 1997 was laying on my computer this morning (I was fast asleep when George returned). I have no idea where it is at and who I am with in the picture. I have known Gayle P since she was in 7th grade in 1981. I am assuming that it who gave the picture to George to take home from the potluck.
It was such a perfect day. It is going to be hotter today. I will walk now so that I can get my exercise out of the way before church (or maybe I should walk there). I am not sure.
I tried to finish my book before I went to Nancy's, but going out to breakfast with George made that impossible. It was due at 1:17 yesterday, and they automatically take it off your phone. I only had about 13 pages left in the audiobook. Thankfully, I have the print version of the book, and I found the place in the print version so I can finish it today. I also have The John Cheever Audio Collection. It doesn't have all of his stories, but it has a good six hour version, and that will have to do! Maybe I will listen to that if I walk to church.
So, I think my time is almost out. I am back to writing freewrites and have a little more wiggle-room now that I am not doing 2HC. I HIGHLY recommend it though. For most people, it has been life-changing. So, I will always promote it with high praise.
I will post the funny picture from 1997 and from our bike ride in the Paul Dunn. Ta Ta for Now!!!
