Visceral: coming from strong emotions and not from logic or reason Oh my goodness, the last two Wednesday Words have just been psychic for me! Because I just had a visceral reaction with Bandit, that something wasn't right, that something was going to happen. In fact, I said on more than one occasion, what a great … Continue reading Trust Your Gut: Visceral

Juxtaposition: Searching for Connection
Juxtaposition: the act of contrasting two things by placing them side by side. I find myself calling Bandit, our new dog, Chester a lot. I never called Lola Chester; not since he's been gone, anyway. I think I did the whole going through every furkid's name til you get to the right one thing while … Continue reading Juxtaposition: Searching for Connection
Delirious: let’s go crazy!
One defintion of delirious: Very excited I think Mr. Judy would tell you that when it comes to registering for a half marathon, I tend to get a little delirious. In fact, I'm usually not happy unless I'm registered for the next half before I've even run the half I'm training for at present. You … Continue reading Delirious: let’s go crazy!
Not on your journey
It seems like a stretch that lost could go with comparison, but, in a way, once I saw the quote above, it does. We discussed comparison a while ago, remember? As in it's the thief of joy. And everyone is on their own journey, as they say. It doesn't mean they're lost. It doesn't mean … Continue reading Not on your journey
Never put off til tomorrow . . .
Do you know what the worst thing about running is? It's not the weather, it's not the injuries, it's not the time involved, it's not the expense involved. It's getting out the damn front door! Procrastinate is today's Wednesday Word and I have to admit it's one of my weaknesses. If you procrastinate when faced with a difficult … Continue reading Never put off til tomorrow . . .
Consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds
Or is it? When I started looking at quotes for today's Wednesday Word, consistent, that particular quote popped into my mind. I'll bet I'm not the only blogger who thought of it. But where did the quote come from? Obviously I am not well read enough, because, as it turns out, it's actually a misquote from … Continue reading Consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds
Empower: To give power to someone
Most of my blogger friends are women. I firmly believe that it is better to build someone up than to tear them down. Women can be catty, snarky, body shaming; the list goes on and on. Yet women can also lift other women up by sharing their knowledge and helping to empower one another, today's … Continue reading Empower: To give power to someone
Freedom is never given . . . it is won (Philip Randolph)
When I first looked at freedom for this week's Wednesday Word, I thought about writing about the freedom I feel running in the summer, in a tank and a skirt, how free it feels to move without all the layers. In fact, I think it's easier to get things done in the summer, for many … Continue reading Freedom is never given . . . it is won (Philip Randolph)
Encourage others: it’s rewarding!
Encourage is an easy Wednesday Word for me -- I love to encourage people! I totally agree with the quote above. It's one of the reasons I love Wednesday Word, and actually why I love blogging. There are lots of ways to encourage the people in your life. Encourage Others encourage: to make (someone) more determined, hopeful, or … Continue reading Encourage others: it’s rewarding!
Fearless: a good or bad thing?
I don't think it's a good idea to be fearless, which was actually last week's Wednesday Word, but apparently I can't put posts on my calendar on the right days. You can read my thoughts on dilemma here. Fear exists for a reason -- to protect us. If we have no fear, we'd cross a street against … Continue reading Fearless: a good or bad thing?
