“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I’ll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about.” -Rumi

“When I am with you, we stay up all night. When you’re not here, I can’t go to sleep. Praise God for those two insomnias! And the difference between them.” -Rumi

We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people. — “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” April 16, 1963

Respect your haters. They are the ones who think you are better than them. -Unknown

You don’t understand, no-one does. When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children; in one way her life begins but in another way it stops. You build a life of details. You become a mother, a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. And then you’re expected move again only you don’t remember what moves you because no-one has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never in your life think that love like this can happen to you. -Francesca, Bridges of Madison County

Harvest Run 5k

4 November, 2012 /

Harvest Run, originally uploaded by Random and Odd.

Victoria’s 2nd 5k she did much better, I mean outside of the puking at the end.

The 5k time was 44:01, but the race was actually 3.5 because they had no other way to do it.

I convinced Debra to run with us and she kicked butt. Alyx, Victoria’s mom and the two little ones did the 1 mile fun run. They named their one mile team; Team Skittles.

Victoria and I already signed up for our December 5k. In January we begin the big training for the big run!!

Have I mentioned how proud I am of her?
