Yes I'm Wet

Only day 2 and already I almost forgot to write... not a good sign haha. Today was a busy day. When I got off work I decided I wanted to go running. When I decide I want to do something there is very little that will stand in my way. Well, when I got home from work to change and go for my run i started to rain:( However, I'm stubborn, and I really wanted to go running. So, I put on my running shoes and I went anyway. I actually don't mind running in the rain. I find it refreshing. What I do mind is the reactions from the people who see me running in the rain. For the most part people driving by will just look at me like I'm crazy, which I can handle. Today though I actually had people honk at me... perhaps they thought I was unaware that it was raining and that by them honking suddenly I'd realize that I was all wet... silly people. Well despite the rain and they people honking at me I loved my run. Running makes me happy. When I'm running on a regular basis I feel more relaxed and focused. A lot of people hate running and they don't understand why I enjoy it so much. Well I will tell you... when I'm running I let go of everything else in the world. The only thing that matters at that moment is my breath and my stride. I'm able to open and free my mind. That is when I am able to gain better perspective on my life and my blessings. So call it crazy, but I LOVE to run, even in the rain:)

A New Day

Alright world here I go. This is my very first adventure in blogging land and I'm pretty excited. I realized that in recent months I've been focussing on all of the negative nonsense in my life and quickly I was becoming very unhappy. A friend of mine started a blogging project where every day she writes down the good things in her life. Reading her blog inspired me to do something about my bad attitude and focus on all of the good things I have. Starting with today...

Today I have Shelley and her Mom visiting from San Diego. At the last minute they decided to take a road trip. They are nice guests to have because they just do their own thing then come have dinner and chill with me at night. Today I was really tired after work and so we decided to have a relaxing girls night. They picked up some mint n chip ice cream (my absolute favorite) and we are watching Desperate Housewives. Mint n Chip ice cream has always been my favorite, ever since I was a little kid. I don't know what it is about the mint and chocolate combination that makes me so happy. And Desperate Housewives is my current favorite show. I had never watched it until I lived with Star. But it is one of her favorite shows and she watched it ever week religiously. I started watching it with her just because I had nothing better to do, but soon I was so wrapped up in all of the different story lines I was hooked. Soon I had bought all 5 seasons to catch up and it was my new dirty not so secret, secret haha. Anyway I'm getting sidetracked, so tonight has been very relaxing and nice. Also, Shelley brought me a bucket of homemade goodies, and they were delicious. Oh and check out my fortune I got last night. It made me happy:)
