LIFE IS GOOD

Check yourself.

I have been reading a book called Mile Markers. It claims to be a book about running and why women do it....it seems to me that it is a book about life, real life, and how running plays a part in most every part of this specific woman's life. If you know me I like books that are real, raw, and believable...this book fits all of those categories. I do not claim to be a runner, but I do run (well I jog)in races here and there. I actually love running. Sometimes I forget that I love it up until the moment I am actually doing it, but once I am on my way I remember all of the good things running does for my mind and body. This is one of the many quotes from the book that I love.

Good reminder to put myself in check.

"I wish we could always support each other without comparing. I wish we could always allow others to be sad without trying to fix it. I wish we could always be happy for someone else without seeing the holes in our own lives. I wish we could always share in another's gratitude for good fortune instead of poisoning it with our own regret. I wish we could always laugh together without our mirth coming at the expense of someone else. I wish we could always lift each other up without having to be on top. I wish we could always applaud others' gifts without pining. I wish we could always freely celebrate our own gifts without feeling the need to play small."

This quote does not really have much to do with running at all, that is why I like this book. It takes something I can relate to, running, and after each chapter I realize I have learned important lessons about life.
