 This always makes me smile.

Rena Priest--I have seen a tree split in two from the weight of its opposing branches. It can survive, though its heart is exposed. I have seen a country do this too.

 (daily ex, morning dog walk 1 mi., pm slow jog 1 mi)

Know all the theories, master all the techniques, but as you touch a human soul be just another human soul.--C.G. Jung

 (daily ex., walks = 3 very slow miles, pm slow jog 3.1 mi)

But the thing is, even if I could go back, I wouldn't belong there anymore.

 (daily ex., 2 very slow dog walks = 2.1 miles, slow pm jog 2.1 miles)

“Following the light of the sun, we left the Old World.” ― Christopher Columbus

 A really nice quote from a really bad man. 

(daily ex., morning really slow dog walk 1.3 miles, pm slow jog 4.3 miles)

 

“Growing up, I never knew a relaxed woman. Successful women? Yes. Productive women? Plenty. Anxious and afraid and apologetic women? Heaps of them. But relaxed women? At-ease women? Women who don't dissect their days into half hour slots of productivity? Women who prioritize rest and pleasure and play? Women who aren't afraid to take up space in the world? Women who give themselves unconditional permission to relax? Without guilt? Without apology? Without feeling like they need to earn it? I'm not sure I've ever met a woman like that. But I would like to become one.”

― Nicola Jane Hobbs
