Random thoughts...

So, the last couple of days I have had random thoughts.

One was of a facebook post that commented on how back in the day we used to get mad if people read our diaries, out private, innermost thoughts...now we post all that online and get mad no one reads it!  LOL.

Another was as I was watching a running You Tube video of these people running through the mountains in Idaho and BC.  I thought how beautiful it was and how the closest I'll probably ever get to that is doing of virtual run on the treadmill.  But...I can dream.

A few last thoughts....I was thinking about how the earth travels around the sun.  When you're young you don't notice the position of the sun or the way it casts a shadow, how everything looks different from one season to the next.  Running on trails you see this so clearly...a trail you're familiar with, not just because of where it goes, but also because of the way it looks, the way the sun reflects of this rock or where this shadow is.  Getting older and slowing down gives you a chance to appreciate this wonder of nature.  Also, thank goodness, the coolness in the air in the morning and at night, something we haven't had much of this summer.

Take time to notice the world around you!
