Ralph

As someone who is prone to overthinking, I find this quote very useful, so I thought I would share. Also, I need it here as a reminder to myself:

“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”

– Ralph Waldo Emerson

Life List - update 1

So, as of Super Bowl Sunday, I can cross #1 off of this list. And something this summer, I will be able to cross off #2.

I'm adding a few more as well, some I'm borrowing from other Life Lists I've read. It's so fun to see what other people have on their lists, especially right now as I feel like I haven't done anything and I'm frusterated that I don't have the money to travel like I want, when I read other people's Life Lists and I see that I've done quite a bit of what they want to do, I remember that my life isn't as boring as I think it is.

And I remember to be greatful for the experiences I've had.

Cross 1 Off The List

Here is a photo of me crossing the finish line for my first 5k. My time was decent (38 minutes) especially since I'd had a horrible cold leading up to this run.
It was a great first race experience as Robb and I were running with friends who had participated in the same race for several years. I can't wait to do it again next year, especially now that I know you get 2 free beers if you finish the race! Yay Super Bowl Sunday!
The best part is that I now have a bar set and a time to beat for my next 5k. I have my eye on one in April, but things are crazy busy around here through May, so we'll see how it goes...
