I really loved this New Year illustration I found online. I think I will make him my mascot and adopt this saying for 2012.
Misery or Laughter?

Welcome, Year of the Dragon
My favorite part of New Year is getting up to see the first sunrise. For the last 4 years I’ve brewed up a thermos of green tea and headed to the parking lot at West Ranch High School here in Valencia because it’s a nice view.
As we head into 2012, let’s hope it brings only good things and some dissipation of the problems of last year (I thought the Year of the Rabbit was supposed to be a docile one…). I wish my friends and family both near and far all the best!

Today’s Quote
Quote
“But in moments of silence, of meditation, of enlightenment and peace, one learns to live in the atmosphere of solitude even in the midst of crowds. …One opens the inner door of his heart to the infinite silences of the Spirit, out of whose abysses loves wells up without fail and gives itself to all. In His silence, the meaning of every sound is finally clear.”

Freshly unwrapped
Here’s a look at my knee, freshly unwrapped from the bandages on Saturday. It looks a lot worse than it feels—in fact, I feel so good it’s almost miraculous.
Crutches? I don’t need no stinkin’ crutches…
Success!

Surgery complete and I’m back home. It’s almost spooky…
- I spent longer laying around bored in pre-op than I did in the surgery and post-op
- I don’t even really need my crutches and have been able to walk and put weight on my leg right away
- I’m REALLY hungry—Mom & Dad just left to pickup some lunch for us
Of course, I’ll bet that later this afternoon some of the “magic” will wear off and I’ll start feeling pain—but I have pills for that. If what’s happening so far is any indication, though, my recovery will be a breeze!
Fingers crossed…
