Takin' it easy

I was takin' it easy this morning on my ride. I figured at my advanced age, I should slow down a bit and see what I could do. I just did a 20 minute ride on the "Quick Start" program. Still got in 6.2 miles and I adjusted up where I needed to be. I guess age is just a mind game so I can return to my regular programs tomorrow. Nice to know I still got it even though I am an entire year older... Church was really good yesterday. All 3 talks were good, even the High Councilor, and he gave his talk with quotes without notes. He was very good as was the returned missionary from Brazil and the young woman from the ward. Very nice day yesterday. I was busy this weekend and I am still feeling the effects of a frenzied, active weekend. I mowed the lawn Friday night until I ran out of gas, literally and figuratively. My lawn is so huge, I can't cut it with a single tank of gas so I ran until out of gas. Finished up Saturday after trimming, pulling out and weeding. It was a family affair, although my family is much smaller right now, only 3 of us working in the yard, so we didn't get as much done as we have in the past. My youngest son did fertilize for me, however, and that was a big help. Not sure if I could have walked the yard again. All of my children but 1, my mother (greatful she is still here) and my long-suffering wife were here Saturday night to cut some cake. It was a nice time, peaceful and fun. I also found out I am to be a grandfather again! Number 7. I can't believe how our family is growing. Also found out some good news yesterday regarding a new church policy. Exciting. Life is going well. As I sit and contemplate my life, where we are right now as a family and I as an individual, I know that none of us will get where we want to eventually be by relaxing and takin it easy...
