Compassion: June 2022

June 28, 2022June 27, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 23 Comments

There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up. -- John Holmes Compassion continues to be a struggle. So I picked a great word for me, right? It's not that I'm not compassionate, just that I'm human. How did June go? Let's see! Getting in scheduled runsRunning continued to … Continue reading Compassion: June 2022

Compassion: May 2022

May 31, 2022May 28, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 20 Comments

Compassion is the wish to see others free of suffering. -- The Dalai Lama I consider myself to be a compassionate person, but I'm not going to lie -- sometimes my mother's complaining gets to me, the way she sometimes rewrites history. The quote above is a good reminder to me to just be a … Continue reading Compassion: May 2022

Compassion: April 2022

May 3, 2022May 2, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 23 Comments

When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen. -- Ernest Hemingway It's easy to nod your head and say um-hmm while just thinking about what you want to say next -- or eat next, LOL -- right? Especially when you may have been involved in something when the person spoke. This is a reminder … Continue reading Compassion: April 2022

Compassion: March 2022

April 5, 2022April 4, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 29 Comments

We must learn to regard people less in the light of what they do or omit to do, and more in the light of what they suffer. -- Dietrich Bonhoeffer I continue to work on my compassion. Elderly people can be (but not always are) very self centered. They don't realize when they tell you … Continue reading Compassion: March 2022

Hello Spring!: 3/14 – 20 WRD

March 20, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 34 Comments

I had been wanting to get to Delaware for an exploratory visit; had even been researching towns to check out. When I saw the weather for this week, somehow I sweet-talked a reluctant Mr. Judy into the trip. We booked the AirBnB late Saturday, and left early Tuesday. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah … Continue reading Hello Spring!: 3/14 – 20 WRD

Happy 94, Mom!: 3/7 – 13 WRD

March 13, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 34 Comments

With lots of family (unpictured obviously) it was a very happy birthday Between Thanksgiving and Christmas we were truly unsure if my mom would even see 2022, much less her 94th birthday, but here we are. Being on Hospice and not having to go to doctors has helped to stabilize her. The name of the … Continue reading Happy 94, Mom!: 3/7 – 13 WRD

Grinding Away: 2/28 – 3/6 WRD

March 6, 2022March 6, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 27 Comments

My heart was heavy much of this week, as I'm sure was the case for many people. What is going on in the Ukraine reminds me of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising -- if you're not familiar with it, google it. I think the world is in a different place now, though, or at least I … Continue reading Grinding Away: 2/28 – 3/6 WRD

Snow melts, more snow comes: 2/21 – 27 WRD

February 27, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 29 Comments

My trip to my mom went relatively smoothly. Oh sure, lots of stuff to do for her, but I even got some of my own stuff done for a change. I was definitely tired when I got home yesterday afternoon! Didn't stop me from running today. Luckily I'd preloaded most of my running earlier in … Continue reading Snow melts, more snow comes: 2/21 – 27 WRD

Moving on up: 2/14 – 20 WRD

February 20, 2022February 20, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 35 Comments

Normally when you have a big birthday you move up an age group (although sometimes after 70 you're all lumped together -- what's up with that?). Of course, I'd actually have to race to get any benefit from that, and even then, I doubt I'd be rocking AG awards. Luckily it's not why I run. … Continue reading Moving on up: 2/14 – 20 WRD

Heavy Lifting: 2/7 – 13 WRD

February 13, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 33 Comments

This little path took about 20 minutes & there’s still ice underneath! By Thursday I had uncovered about 2/3 of the driveway with the help of Mr. Judy -- although poor Bandit didn't get any paths in the backyard. Too frozen, not enough sun, and the driveway was the priority. I wasn't really that sore … Continue reading Heavy Lifting: 2/7 – 13 WRD
