To be worn out is to be renewed. -Lao Tzu

My mind and body feel exactly like this after a great run or yoga session. It's amazing how our minds and bodies can just mend together. Exercise is so wonderful for the mind, the stimulation, the ease, relaxation, clarity.
Today is a Friday. I'm going to be with all my friends tonight in celebrating another friend's birthday. Being with my friends at the end of the work week brings joy. Ah, such a fun night ahead.

Favorite words

On a recent trip with my best buds and hubby, we were discussing our favorite words. Then, we decided in order to pass the time, we'd write sentences or paragraphs using our words. Mine sounds more like a poem. Hooray! An incognito oasis caused serendipity. Hilarious.
It prompted me to look up some haikus, and I want to share some of the awesome ones I found at http://www.toyomasu.com/haiku/#autumn. Here they are: By: Dave McCroskey

That's all. I'm doing pretty good with running. It's been more difficult this year I think because a) I started running earlier and b) I was working out my g.m. which caused it to be sore the next day. So, I'm going to just work it out on other days when I'm not running as far. Ready for autumn and the cooler weather. Camping in Octobor. I love the outdoors!
