Feeling sore

Yesterday I went snowboarding with B and his girlfriend. The conditions were marginal with a lot of ice but we had a good time. I took some rather hard falls onto the ice and am rather sore today as a result.

Christmas with the family was very pleasant. D liked the poem I wrote for her. I feel less stress now that most of my Christmas responsibilities are fulfilled.

I may be picking up a new client representing a substantial amount of business. Unfortunately they are located down in Mass but I am happy to have the opportunity.

My mood has been ok but I don't often experience what I would call "joy". I am starting to wonder if Melvin Udall was right when he asked “Is this as good as it gets?”.

I loved that movie but I don't ever want to think that this is as good as it gets. I'd like to think there is more.

This time of year is so stressful. Maybe give yourself another month or so to gauge how you feel?

The quote is "what if this is as good as it gets?"

You know, that is my favourite movie of all time.

However if you look at the movie as a whole, the entire story was about progression, change, and improvement, with one's self and with everything in general.

So, Udall was wrong... And you will be too if you think this is "as good as it gets."
