The wind is blowing hard. When I was driving back from a meeting, I had a hard time controlling my car. The drive gave me time to think. As much as I am trying to be thankful that my son is home for Christmas, my mind wanders to his deployment.

I was thankful that I did workout at the gym this morning. I woke up 1 hour after my normal time. Rushed to the gym. Pushed myself on the treadmill. Then back home, shower, dress and off to a meeting. Working out gave me some clarity of thought for why I'm not in my happy place. My son's deployment is the first place my mind goes.

So, now I am sitting in my office, looking at the snow falling and the wind blowing, and listening to my Greatest Hits of Neil Diamond. My daughter is taking me to his concert tonight. Everyone in the office is gone to lunch, and here I sit, signing out loud with Neil. At this moment, I'm in my happy place. Thank you Neil Diamond!
