small comfort

some days, even happyish stuff makes me sad.  some days you don't want to treasure HA! ; you want them to just go away...(quick-quick!)...

pain☑  stress☑   self-doubt☑   existentialism☑

A journey of a thousand miles begins with...

easy for you to say, Mr. Lao-tzu!

from circa 500 BC to... 

my motivational file cabinet (2011):

see, it starts out positive!

 yeah, pas de problème!

then we see a slide into cynicism, boo:

then, finally, that higher-functioning symptom of human intelligence...

yee haw: rationalization

(makes sense to me, that is the problème!)

i just want to post stuff (stolen mainly from we♥it) !

i thought, who is this graphic for....cult leaders?  then i thought, oh for people who have half-assed blogs?

or, maybe i should state my message:

or not hesitate to express my beliefs:

or just be semplice about sharing:

wait....i think it's working

starting late in life

this is where i am these days: http://runwithe.blogspot.com/  and  of course...
 http://lftec.blogspot.com/.   i am borrowing emi's faith in my becoming-a-runner since i don't really have any (yet).  today i went outside and walked for about 40 minutes, then went to the gym and (after watching my ex-trainer's crossfit group do 100 wall-balls interspersed with burpees) was motivated to do 20 measly minutes (i mean GOOD JOB! 20 minutes!) on the treadmill.  hopefully i won't be so pathetic soon.
my friend hannah did a 5k last weekend.  i was so bewitched by her success.  yet i still shared a pizza last night with her boyfriend (excuse: celebrating his ravel quartet performance).  there are endless excuses to eat and skip exercise.  but it really feels good when you actually do it.  i want to be, would LOVE to be Master of Impulse-Control.  i read that section of How We Decide (jonah lehrer's awesome book) multiple times.  good luck à moi! 
if you happen to be reading this, please post something really encouraging (even if you don't really mean it!).  thanks a BUNCH!
