We celebrated Christmas yesterday, to capitalize on having as many family members around as possible, so today I’m lounging in post-holiday hangover, surrounded by wrapping paper and gifts galore. We got to skype with my stepdaughter this morning, and watched her open gifts at her mom’s house (again: Better (Divorced) Living Thing Through Technology!) (best moment on Skype – her stepdad leaning into the frame “you guys want some pancakes?” Heh. It really was the best way for us all to “be together” on Christmas), and now we’re sitting back, content and comfortable. Christmas, indeed.

I read a great quote today that I want to throw up here so I don’t forget it:

All this to say that we should choose our running partners wisely, because they become our friends and eventually become like family, and then we grow old together.

So true. I sent this to my book club girls, as we all started out as training partners, and look at us now. I’m getting excited for the next phase of family as we move to a new home, but I am so grateful for the one I already have.
