Looking together in the same direction.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

Little Buck is back...


     It wasn't very light yet this morning at 6:45, but you can see that Little Buck is back enjoying the shrubbery in the front yard today, and is looking askance at Charleigh.

It's DC, Baby!!!..

     I needed this video this morning. Today is a scheduled long run day.  The past 2 long runs, 2 and 3 weeks ago, did not go well.  Fingers crossed for today.  Only 6 weeks until my race, 3 of which are taper/rest weeks, so really only 3 weeks of training left to try and get this right.  Is that panic setting in that I feel?

                                               (watch video)

"Every day is a holiday."---Happily Ever Esther Farm Sanctuary



"Write it on your heart
that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day
who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.
Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day;
begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit
to be cumbered with your old nonsense.
This new day is too dear,
with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on the yesterdays."
--Ralph Waldo Emerson
