I awoke today to find myself finally getting past the point of just saying that I was going to go for a run and finally just doing it. It felt good to feel my feet hitting the pavement once again, the world around just quiet and peaceful as it can be at 5:15 in the a.m. A few dogs barking here and there but still quiet enough to let my thoughts wonder off to a place in my mind long forgotten from the times that I ran before. With only a small goal in place, basically to make it around the block without dying, I still was able to seek memories that I had long forgotten. With a renewed energy today, I think I will try to do two blocks tomorrow and god willing be up too 3 blocks by the end of the week. I find myself sitting at my desk at this very moment yearning to lace up those running shoes, not just to run but to just seek out those memories that are only found when the sound of your shoes hitting the pavement pulls them from the depths of your mind. I sometimes think it is best shown in the movie Forrest Gump when he justs takes off running. In the movie he runs for 3 years, 2 months, 14 days and 16 hours. I can only imagine the amount of things he could think about in that amount of time. I dont see myself going to that extreme to think about things. I do however think that if I would just let my mind wonder off, I would really get more running done.

For now though, Its now time to get back to work and let my mind do the running instead of my legs. До другого дня.

1st post on my 1st Blog!

This being my first post on my first blog, I have no idea what to even write. I guess since my title is called "Life goes on!" I will talk a little bit about the continuation of my life.

Recent events in the last year of my existence have forced me to take a hard look at the life I have lived and the life I want to move forward with. The recent death of my grandmother and shortly thereafter the death of my aunt. Both were huge factors in what I would call a revelation. Grief often closes one off from the world, making it difficult to move forward with life. Death eventually brings rebirth and the possibility for life to emerge. I isolated myself and my heart, unable to comprehend how someone so dear to me could be taken from this earth. This isolation and sadness is temporary, and that I intend to fall in love or experience companionship again.

I think with that all being said, I will call this the end of my first post. I will hope to continue with this blog in the future. I know I have plenty to put on here.
