is it the human condition to always want just a little bit more. something slightly - better. or bigger. or just different. or is it just me. i am often struck but the somewhat dichotomous sides of appreciating what you have and wanting to strive for so much more. and i know there is a balance there but it seems so very precarious... ahh words. all jammed into my head.
big decisions this week. at least on paper.
i know good people. who do amazing things.
A tidbit about who is writing this nonsense
- ~ Jill
- somewhere in middle america, United States
- my first ever "run" was a 5k in 2007. a week and a half later i registered for a marathon. five months later i ran it. and i have just kept on running. the rest of the time i spend my days wrangling our 6 year old son and infant twins (born December 2010). i occasionally make less than valiant efforts to keep house with my ridiculously hardworking and dedicated partner. all while trying to be better at this game called life.
my boy
