About Me

this little drop of water attempts to ebb and flow sometimes meeting success and other times faced with opposition matching the force of a mac truck traveling at the speed of light toward the end of the earth where darkness is faced with the reality of light so bright that it is blinding to these eyes that see the truth in the process of being what it is and moreover what it isn't in that moment of nothingness between the inhale and the exhale of the breath sustaining the movement from here to there and back again to the place where it all began in the moment that it was all that it wasn't and all that it was and all that it is and all that it is going to be in that vast paradigm of someday when it can all appear as a vision of that which it believes itself to be in thought and form at any moment that it should apparate into the new awareness of the possibilities of the steam and the storm and the stream and the shore where it will so quietly so subtly act out the attempts to ebb and flow sometimes meeting success and other times faced with opposition matching the force of a mac truck
I deserve to be swept off my feet. I have a tendency to speak sharply if I don't pay attention. My Sunday is better when I get up and go to church. I love camping and some camping buddies are better than others. I feel good when I put a little attention on my appearance. Connecting with old friends can be intimidating. Making new friends can be intimidating. Good futons are expensive. I don't always choose what is best for me. Little hopeless crushes are fun. I like to iron my clothes in the morning. My depression is not who I am and does not have to be in control of my life. The sound of rain is amplified in a motorhome. Love won't feel like settling for less than what I want. The hatchet is a camping essential. It is okay to cry when I need to. It is okay to be silly in public. I want to simplify my surroundings. I love to hug people long enough to breath in the embrace..)

Halfway!

I had a crazy couple of weeks and hadn't weighed myself since October 9 until yesterday.  Another two pounds down.  I'm a little surprised because I don't feel like I've been paying attentio...

Pretty unbelievable...

Well, I hit the 20 pound mark.  As of Wednesday, I've lost 20 pounds since I set out to feel healthier.  I feel very satisfied with how and what I eat and am enjoying the consequences of tho...

What a Surprise!

I lost another two pounds! I am in utter disbelief.  I am not even sure that I have a right to be proud of the progress.  I ended up first distracted and then sick this week, there...

What am I doing?

So much for being proud of myself.  My plan to get up and run on Friday morning was self-sabotaged by staying up all night talking to a new 'friend'.  I'm glad for the conversation and at th...

Running: Day 2

I'm proud and a little surprised that I motivated myself out of bed for my second day of running (especially considering how sore I was last night).  The 9pm sleeping pill might have a little to ...

Payoff

I guess the first day of running gave an instant payoff.  It may not work like this, but I'm going to let it work that way in my head anyway.  After my first day of running, I just happened ...

I was just reading over my "about me" section on my profile and was reminded of how much I like it (especially read out loud).  Thought I'd share it again... this little drop of water attempts to...
