"I love people who have been through adversity and heartache and obstacles as impossible as the sun itself. They usually make it out with hearts as warm as gold. Cores made of fire. Lives soaked with full intention. Hope like another morning. They know how to start again- how to walk through walls with palms wide open, and how to begin at the edge, and end. Those to me, are the best people." ~Victoria Erickson

Went for a run
I was able to go for a quick run yesterday somewhere between chaos and chaos and Ted being awake and Ted being asleep. How was that for a sentence!? Anyhow, I ran outside and it felt great. It was the first time I was able to run outside using my new iPod. For years I would run as a meditation and thought clearing process. As a result of this process, I felt like I needed to be running with a notebook or better yet, a voice recording device. I always run to a rhythm. This beat under my feet causes me to to rhyme my thoughts. I come up with masterpieces in my head. I always have thought if only I had been able to save those thoughts and remember them enough to write them down I could publish something powerful someday. Publishing it would be one of my greatest accomplishments. If I was satisfied and I liked what I had written, (not caring what others thought about it), then I would possibly have the best accomplishment of all...self-worth. So, thanks to my husband, the iPod is now just more than a soundtrack to my meditation, life and creations, (lets not forget my time-out device- yes, I am a 30 year old woman who still needs time-outs); my iPod has the greatest feature I have ever wanted! I can do voice recording while I am running. I recorded two things yesterday. It is so exciting. I have more than the usual motivation to run now,(i.e. loving it, getting away, etc.), I have a chance to actually create something lasting. Something that lasts longer than the affects of running, and don't get me wrong, those affects are long lasting in themselves. Now, all I need is a chance to run...I want to be able to run at 5 am every morning, but that won't happen unless I can find a babysitter willing to come to my home and sit on the couch while my children are sleeping until about 5:30 or 6am. I just need 1 hour in the morning and I could be set all day. It is just totally impossible to find a babysitter willing to come to your home at 5am in the morning. I'll keep thinking...
