Words, Music, & Outdoor Adventures

I’m reading the Unbearable Lightness of Being. I firmly believe that you pick up a book at certain times in life in order to have questions answered by them. For example, this book, I read this paragraph over and over. It’s the simplest idea but seeing it written in a book makes it seem like the wisest statement I’ve ever read:

“He remained annoyed with himself until he realized that not knowing what he wanted was quite natural. We can never know what we want, because, living only one life, we can neither compare it with our previous lives nor perfect it in our lives to come … There is no means of testing which decision is better because there is no basis for comparison. We live everything as it comes, without warning, like an actor going on cold. And what can life be worth if the first rehearsal for life is life itself?”

I went skate skiing for the first time yesterday. I love it. I was very hard and I fell a lot. It was the best workout ever. I’m very sore. Now I’m addicted to another sport !

Finally got to swim today. 30 minutes. It felt good to be back training again. Only 28 days until the 5 mile run. I hope to be ready.

Yeah, I am my mother’s child
As I roll out of town like a run-away train
I’ll do as I dare, let them call me insane
I’ll never sit on the sidelines of life, I’ll dance every dance
While I still have the chance
