My knees hurt. I've been running, really running. Unlike my usual self, I've been racking up anywhere from 15 to 20-something miles a week. Just when I've finished an hour, I feel like it's not enough. I prefer to spend my evenings on the treadmill watching Fox News.
Life has been good to me. I'm really enjoying my job and I will say, I've learned a whole hell of a lot of stuff I never thought I would. I'm diving into design and web management, both of which seem to be areas in which I'll be more focused on as time passes. I silently dreaded the thought of it when they mentioned it to me (Me? Manage a whole entire web site? You want me to design WHAT that's going WHERE?). In the short amount of time that I've been there so far, I was told by our resident videographer/designer that I've surpassed his web knowledge. Not too bad for someone who was completely clueless than three months ago, right?
I went to Virginia about two weeks ago for Tina's wedding. It was a quick trip and I couldn't wait to get back. I miss my dad and a few of my friends, but as usual, I could stand to live without the rest. I'm so much happier here. Right here. |

What is it you want to be?
Things keep changing, moving at a fast pace. I'm desperately trying to appreciate the little things, to observe, to make sure my approach to life is positive. 'Challenge' is becoming a frequently used word.
Who inspires you? |

On the long drive back home today, we talked about a pressing issue in my life. She pointed out that I've made a lot of difficult decisions in the past year and given up a lot. I never looked at it that way and though she might be right, I don't necessarily feel that way. I'm happy.
When I lost my job last October, I had to decide to how to proceed. Should I stay in Virginia, the only place I've ever known as home, and look for a job? Or should I move to Florida (temporarily), where I know I'll be comfortable and provided for while I look for work? Where should I look for work? Am I willing to venture into something and somewhere completely out of my element? What about my friends? They're spread out all over the country and I'm going to miss them. And what about considering the people I love in my life? Do I want to leave them behind? The quasi-established life I have and am dreaming about? The life I am used to living... It will be no longer.
There have been huge changes, that much I'll admit, some only really noticeable to me and those who knew me in my 'past' life. At any rate, I'm happy. I'm starting over again and still have a lot of big decisions to make. I don't know exactly where to start and sometimes I don't know where my head is.
Where do we go from here? |

To be in love
Is to touch with a lighter hand.
In yourself you stretch, you are well.
You look at things
Through his eyes.
A cardinal is red.
A sky is blue.
