"Feel Fine"

A lazy weekend...down by the river...

"Changes"

Disclaimer: I have come to be pretty horrible at this whole updating my blog thing. My sincere apologies for all you Amulya fans out there! I'm only half kidding ;)

Change is a scary thing. It can be anything from fantastic to devastating or anything in between. Yet, no matter what it is, change is always scary. It forces us to shed the old routine and learn a new one. It opens our minds to tuck away our past perspective and adopt a new one. Sometimes it allows us to find new meaning.

We are creatures of habit. We get up every morning from the same side of the bed. We check our email, check our phones for missed calls, and contemplate what is for dinner everyday. We crawl into the same side of the bed each and every night. What happens when those habits are threatened? What happens when change takes over and our lives take on new shapes?
It's hard to deal with changes to our routine. We never truly know if the change is for the best, but we have to allow ourselves to believe that it is, if only to make the most out of the possibilities. Yet, the challenge that remains is being able to coalesce the new with the old. Sometimes we are forced to not only adapt for ourselves but also foster the change and ease transition for those around us.

Change is a constant in life and we all know it. It's not easy, but we must only remember that it is always, always for the better.

Feel Good List vol. 3

Yes, it has been a while. Yes, I am alive. And yes, I am lazy. Nevertheless, here I am...back to posting. So let's catch up with some of my current "happies".

1) 2 hour workouts and the great, yet sore, feeling that comes afterwards.
2) My guy. Took me a while to realize what a catch he really is...I'm lucky.
3) My sister and her guy coming to visit. It's been a while.
4) Upcoming trips to Northern Michigan (to see Sarah!! and drink Boston Coolers) and then to California.
5) 90 degree weather... and the keys to the pool.
6) El Camino Real: amazing Mexican fare and highly intoxicating margaritas. Seriously, we are basically talking straight up tequila.
7) Making new friends at the gym (of which I don't even belong).
8) Finding a new video gaming buddy, Trooper John. Who has also given me the gift of being able to speed and get away with it. :D
