Over this last week I have been thinking a lot about the luxuries of life that we so often overlook or take for granted. The things that we don’t even realize ARE luxuries until we are without them.
Esteem
Was I not told when I was young that I should care more about myself than about what others think of me?
It’s Been A While
It has been far too long. I really feel the urge to write bubbling up inside me tonight.
I don’t know what the deal is with my lack of writing. I think about blogging a lot but don’t do it. I think some of it is just laziness but I also think I am muted by my own perceived inadequacies.
Even now, though I want to write, I don’t know how to express all I want. I also think I want to write instead of dealing with things in real life. Like maybe I can censor and disguise my thoughts here and get out what I want in some little way without any actual confrontation. Maybe I can polish up my words and my life until they shine so bright that the truth won’t cause any pain or discomfort.
Keep on Runnin’
So I am 5 weeks into a 10 week “Learn to Run” program at the Running Room. I have actually considered doing this or years but lack of time, money and motivation have got in my way. Once I started losing weight because of my change in diet I decided I needed to add some exercise into the mix. Not only did I want to aid the weight loss but I also knew I needed to make myself get out of the house more and I was also hoping maybe I would meet some new people since I seem to be lacking in friends these days.
In the Genes
I have always thought that I am a fair mix between my parents. I mean, I am myself, I know that, and neither Mom nor Dad tried to make me like them (at least not in overt controlling ways), but I can see how I have bit of both of them in me. Continue reading
Silence is Deafening
My current job will be done as of September 1st. This means I need to find something else. I am torn between continuing to look for a ministry job and just finding a job for now, were I can be somewhat satisfied and look into volunteering for the kind of work I would like to be paid for.
A Long, Unintentionally Oddly Formatted Post
For the last 4 weeks I have been on a cleanse. I hate saying that because I always think people assume I am talking about one of those weird ones where you only eat peanut butter or drink lemon juice (at least I have always thought they sounded weird). What I am doing the cleanse for is because I think I have an overgrowth of yeast in my system called Candida. There is a wide range of symptoms that can relate to this overgrowth and it is said that this is one of the most misdiagnosed things, it affects a lot of people but doctors rarely catch it.
Worry Wart
I started a new job this week. Continue reading
Random Thoughts
I noticed the other day when I was in a baby store that there are hardly any black baby clothes.

Dear Becky,
I know you check this and don’t just wait for an alert to tell you I got my ass in gear and wrote something, so this is for you because you ask for it. Thanks for your faithful readership and letting me know you care.
