It’s like a mother, when the baby is crying, she picks up the baby and she holds the baby tenderly in her arms. Your pain, your anxiety is your baby. You have to take care of it. You have to go back to yourself, to recognize the suffering in you, embrace the suffering, and you … Continue reading Compassion: October 2022
November Goals
January 2022
Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive. -- Dalai Lama I showed myself compassion by realizing that at least in Winter, I just cannot go and stay for days at my mom's. I don't sleep well. It's stressful. I know what these visits mean to her, but I also know … Continue reading January 2022

I got a small break in October (see last month's "grade" herefor what's been going on), but it ramped up at the end of the month with my Dad's discharge from rehab and scrambling to try to find a suitable aide for him. They don't give you much notice. Running continued pretty strong, and since … Continue reading Reunited & It Feels So Good: October 2019
October 2017: Did I pass?
Did I pass in October? I suppose any month that starts off with a half marathon PR (read about Wineglass here) can't be a bad month. With the half "monkey" off my back, though, there have been a wee bit of slacking going on. You decide. Getting in scheduled runs While there are still runs … Continue reading October 2017: Did I pass?
