It's a winter wonderland here in Denver. I love this time of year. Everything seems so cozy. :) We just got back from a few hours of rock climbing at the Centennial Rock'n & Jam'n gym. I did my best climb ever today. A 5.10-! It was really hard, but I'm learning to trust the small hold more nowadays. The only thing is that when I'm lunging for something, I always manage to whack my knee against the wall. My knees look AWFUL! Huge ass bruises everywhere. ;)

Tim has been really getting into the climbing too, only bouldering is more his style the acrobatics, the swinging, lunging and strategy really suit him. He was trying to hit this route today and had like 5 guys all watching him and cheering him on. People at the Centennial gym seem really friendly and encouraging, which is really nice.

And in other news, we have been working hardcore on our Christmas CD-Rom. We finished up some programming for the slideshow last night, we are working on some cool navigation for it, and we had our "Retro" photo shoot this morning. I had my hair in a wicked beehive with some cat-eye glasses. It was hilarious. We leave for OKC next week. We are taking a little trip to go see Tim's family before Christmas, so after Tuesday, I might be kind of scarce.

Oh and if you were wondering about the post below, I haven't gone crazy. I recently tried to reconnect with an old friend that I felt I had wronged. I sent him an apology, and instead of writing me back, he wrote a scathing blog entry directed at me. Of course, this made me feel worse. But, I guess, in a way, I feel better. At least he didn't just go, "okay... I forgive you" and make me feel better, he let me know in no uncertain terms that any kind of restitution I was seeking would be denied. I deserve that. Just because you're sorry you hurt someone, doesn't mean you can take back your actions. I have since learned to be much more sensitive and less self involved. But, you can't change the past. Sometimes, all you can offer is a sincere apology, and if the person doesn't take it... You just have to understand their position and move on. Posted by Picasa

Maybe he will decide to celebrate National Forgiveness Day.

But seriously, the best reason to forgive is that holding a grudge is like a person eating rat poison because they want to get rid of the rats in their house. It hurts the person holding the grudge more than the person they are angry with.

Forgive yourself Erin and use it as a piercing lesson and reminder to be mindful.

None of us are perfect.

Good for you for not letting the scathing blog post get to you. And Karim is right, none of us are perfect. We all make mistakes, including your friend who wrote that post to you.

On another note, what a gorgeous snow-capped picture!
