I have been quite ill for a week and a half now, but I started improving late last week and decided that I needed to get back into my exercise habits. I arranged to go riding on Saturday morning and while I felt okay I realized that I was still not at my regular level of fitness. My muscle tone that I had been establishing was gone, by lung capacity was significantly diminished and I was feeling like I was out of energy. It proved to be a tough ride in general but I loved it. It was great to get out again.
During the ride Kyrk (my cycling buddy) made a comment about our bodies but it has so many applications to other aspects of life. He said "months to build days to destroy" and I have thought about that this week and it is so true. I have been exercising for a few months now and my body was starting to change and get stronger and it was gone in no time at all. A marriage can take years, decades a lifetime to build and it can be destroyed in minutes. A relationship with your children can be ruined in no time at all by something as simple as using harsh words. Fortunately my body will come back and be restored and without getting too religious relationships and many other aspect of life can be restored through repentance.
Anyway I am looking forward to getting out again.

So insightful! Good to hear from you again. I was beginning to get worried...long sickness is not fun! Especially since the longer it is, the worse off you were in the sick part. Yuck. Did you pass it along to anyone in your home?
Kind of like our Project Management team and Tech Specialist team - Months to build days for people to move on or out.
Andrew, come back to the world of blogging. Put the potato chips away, turn off the boob-tube, and start typing (it's good exercise).
