Taylor Swift songs make me want to fall in love

I remember ( maybe incorrectly) that December has one of the highest suicide rates for a month. I can not help but think it is because one is constantly reminded of what one does not have. Advertisers constantly throw their message at their audience all day in a number of ways. Of course having the best or the most is usually equaled to self worth. Thus the have nots start feeling like a looser or non important. Add on top of that the constant reminders of love by family or a significant other that one should be receiving, the "have-nots" are feeling pretty crummy. It is sad to think that the most wonderful time of the year can be so saddening to others.

The thing is, God will always be around to give one love.

It is great to have friends and family ( and a significant other I would assume but I would not know) but if those have abandoned you, God is there. He does not care if you have the best, the most or the newest. He does not judge you on what material possessions you have, he has unconditional love for you, and that is pretty awesome.

Being back in Murfreesboro has been great. I have gotten to spend some time with old friends and continue my track training. Weightlifting, I have discovered hurts but I already feel stronger. The sun finally came out today and it was 73 when I ran today. I am trying to build mileage the next two weeks before speedwork begins, I will be up to about 45 ( average pace-8:18 - thank you flotrack)I think for this week. I ran a 21 flat for a 5k last weekend which I was impressed with due to lack of training. I can't help but wonder if I am faster then I think I am. I will figure out my craziness before racing again I hope. I suppose I am only as fast as I think I am.

Life is going oh so well ( would be better if a certain boy called but that is a different tale that might be told later on) and I find myself with a smile upon my face more often then not.
