I just checked out Cortney's stats.  They won the game handily and although she only made one basket she did have 11 assists.  So that put her percentage of the offensive output on top of her high scoring teammate.  I stayed here in my warm home and ended my busy day by watching the BYU game.  I am kind of holding my breath because so far I am still feeling pretty good.  Seems that I still need to take pills to help out, but at least they seem to work and make it better.  I will take some more when I go upstairs in a few minutes.  I did enjoy my work today  I didn't worry about getting it all done and I just relaxed and tried not to feel the pressure of getting it done. I do have to keep at it by starting early in the morning, but I will do that and just keep on working on the papers until I get them finished.  Sheila and I were talking today and I said something that was a new thought that I hadn't had before it came to me then.  But it impressed my and spoke what I have been feeling.  I see my 65 years as having taught me a lot of stuff.  I see me as knowing lots and that's to be commended.  But the more I know the more I know that I don't know.  That really isn't a contradiction.  It is reality.  I can't pretend that I know it all, because what I do know, and it is considerable, only reveals that there is so much more to be known.  Even simple stuff baffles me.  But I know that that is the way that it should be and is.  Answers bring questions, and more answers bring more questions.  It is overwhelming to me.  I am overwhelmed by what I know and what I do not know.  I realize that my main objective then is to make sure that what I do learn and what I question have to be centered in the things that are most important to know and to question.  As long as I keep myself focused that way it will continue to be an exciting adventure discovering new and important things as new answers as well as new questions.

  1. Well, with all the stuff you don't know, I don't know even more. That's overwhelming!! I am glad that you are feeling better. I hope it continues. You don't want to be sick on Christmas. Love you.
