4 Thoughts on a Friday

TGIF. That's my motto of the morning. I feel as if I have been running around all week...

1. Oh wait, I have. :) Track practice is killing me but it's such a good feeling. Oddly enough. I've heard rumors that today's workout is stadium stairs so that will be an experience. You know you have it bad when you look forward to the weekend because you don't have to practice... but you still plan on running. What is it with me?? Running is such a constant in my life right now and the pain and the pushing that I'm doing drives me. It's like, if I know I can make it through the pain and the not breathing and the cramping/vomiting and all that comes with a hard workout, then I really can make it through anything else in life. I just have to keep turning one foot over the other.

2. School is going really well. I'm enjoying this semester more than I've ever enjoyed school. Not overdoing it with school work and not worrying about constantly doing something, I'm more able to sit back and just enjoy what I'm learning. That is until I have to start cramming for the GRE's that will be heading my way soon.

3.I'm drinking coffee out of my W.B. Yeats mug that I picked up at the National Library of Ireland and it makes me want to go back so bad. I realized yesterday that I'd been back in the states for one whole month, and Ireland still feels like yesterday. Appropriately it rained here all day yesterday so in walking around with my green raincoat, I felt a tiny bit of Ireland around me.

4. And speaking of Ireland I watched P.S. I Love You last night. How I forget how much I love that movie. *sigh* Yes, that is one of happiness maybe because I know that love is still out there. I may have a broken heart but that doesn't mean it can't be fixed and feel again. It may even get hurt again but if I don't take a chance, I'll never know. There's a quote that ends with "love like you've never been hurt" and I've been thinking about that lately. Maybe that's why I keep going and maybe why I'm kind of dating again... if I don't take a chance and open my heart again, I'm not going to know the love or goodness that is out there. I'm not going to experience life because in my eyes life is love. It's what I'm called to do. I know that man's love may fail but God's never does. It's unfailing... and even if a man breaks my heart again God can fix it and show me something more. It's at least worth a chance in my book.
