Running

It's day 17 of smokeless Andrea and I remembered this morning how amazing running is supposed to feel. You take your first steps and slowly work up to your pace. Your heart beat speeds up, and before you know it, you get hot. The first few minutes seem to drag on forever but before you know it, you hit your stride. When a person reaches their stride, they feel untouchable. It's the best feeling in the world. I would be happy to never smoke another day in my life, as long as I get to keep my legs. O.M.G. running! Also a great follow up to my risque dance lesson last night. Can't wait for next Monday at 7:40 pm! Mondays just got exciting.

I think there's something to this stride thing. Like running, I believe a person can hit their stride in life. I believe I just hit mine recently. I feel light, and free of drama and I intend to keep it that way. My friendships are once again amazing, I have struck a great balance between work and play, and I feel confident again. It doesn't matter how many games you have lost, it only matters that you feel like you gave it your best shot. To be victorious is not just to win, but also to be humble in your defeat.

When I went to Vegas in November, I learned something about myself that made complete sense. Vegas is a land of games where putting all of your cards on the table in hopes of winning the ultimate prize you desire is encouraged. I have never been much of a gambler in terms of casino's, but I have always been a gambler when it comes to love. While in Vegas, I tested my luck at these games people love to play. I tried a few different types of games but the one that really got my heart pumping was always roulette. Go figure, the masochist of her own heart wants to play Roulette of all things. I think what I love about roulette is it's very basic, and isn't a complicated game. I'm not much for complexity when it comes to winning or losing. I would rather win gloriously, or lose humbly. Red or black. Odds or evens. If you want to take a bit more of a chance, you can put your chips on the inside and pick specific numbers. Simple. Some people like simple and don't have time for the bullshit of poker faces, hiding cards on your table, or leaving it up to the pull of a handle. I am a person who desires simplicity resulting in the chance of ultimate bliss. I'm a busy girl I don't have time to sit at a table and read faces, or pull a lever for hours hoping it lands on a match of shapes.

So the question is, what is your game and what does it say about your strategies in life? Think about it and choose your color or cards wisely.
