Long day, but we keep on keeping on...

I've had many long hard days. My life is full of those "last minute, get it done quick, wait until your feet fall asleep" kind of days. Days full of so much bipolar you would think I bought stock in antidepressants. But today was different. Because yesterday, I made a conscious effort to just be in the moment and not think so much. After a long day at work (teaching finally feels like an actual job...good, or bad, it is what it is) I'm having a long night at home. I did get 3.5 miles in. My running is taking high priority. For me, this change in my life is positive. Please don't look at this situation like I'm abandoning other responsibilities. The other responsibilities are still important, but do what you love with all your heart. That's a great motto to live by. Tomorrow is a 10 mile hard run with Tony. I have to run it at about 7:10 pace. Not so bad, totally attainable. I'm excited to run with him again. He has taken a lot of time off because of injury. Now that he's back in action, life feels normal again! As I close off this Monday night, I think about the tragedy that is life itself. There is no guarantee that we have another day, and when life gets tough...remember...it's no big deal. If you look at life like your stressful situations are "no big deal" you will see how very right you really are. Yes, life is full of tragedy, minescule and massive; but just keep on keeping on. What you think of as a big deal today, is really "no big deal" at all!
