I am sitting on a bright orange leather couch in between two paintings, one named "finding a balance" the other named "eruption" and somehow I can relate to both.
Running, running, more running, and maybe a little life that gets in the way.
Another Valentine's Day.
This has been a year of transition. Last year on this date was my last time running competitively. Last year at this time was when Zoe was diagnosed with cancer. Last year at this time Mike and I started thinking about what our lives would be going forward.
Turns out they are all just memories now. Running. Zoe. My Marriage. Good memories, funny memories, some hard memories. My house has been emptied.
for a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin--real life. but there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served a debt to be paid. at last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. this persepective has helped me to see there is no way to happiness. happiness is the way. so treasure every moment you have and remember that time waits for no one. -souza
