The World is Right When...

...I wake up feeling the warmth of C's hand on my arm...
...I am out the door, running, 10 minutes after the alarm goes off...
...I feel the warm air flowing over my sweaty face while breathing deep...
...I'm in the shower and hot water sluices over my tired body, washing the salt off and renewing my energy...
...I'm sipping an almond-soy-with-strawberry-instead-of-banana smoothie at Xoom Juice while writing in my journal...
...I know, no matter what happens, everything will be okay...

The world is right for you when...

...my kids tell me they love me.

...the coffee pot has just enough for one last cup.

...I glance down at my Garmin and see that I am going just that fast.

...my dear friends offer to babysit so that I can have dinner out with my hubby.

Great post!

Don't know how you got from #1 to #2, but you've got a great list.

... I wake up and find that I have some more time before I "have" to get up
... I can spend my day being active, or not by my choosing
... I smile and make someone's day.


I love this post Ang! It is always good to reflect on the good things!

...I wake up able to do the things I love.
...I wake up able to love the people I love.

Great post, Angie!

Hi Angie,
Don't know if you remember me; Sugar & Spice last summer. Well, I need gallbladder advice. Could you email me? I need some help...

...when your kids are alive and healthy and smiling to YOU
...and then you go for a run:)

when my husband looks at me with stars in his eyes

when I run and run and run

when I finish my run and feel like floating on a cloud

when the birds sing outside
and I stop to listen to them and peace comes into my heart.

Life is good...

...when you feel so blessed with all in your life
...when you can run pain free
...when you can share nice evening chatting with your friends on the patio while the kids play in the pool

Ok, so this could go on and on, I love life!


Hey Angie!

So sorry to hear you can't make it up here for PCT. I just thought I'd offer (if this doesn't rub salt in the wound) to wear something Angie when I run it. Maybe others can chime in and we can get a "team Pink Fuzzy" thing going...

- when my run is effortless and my pace better than expected;
- when my husband and i are in perfect synchrony;
when i'm able to do the things i enjoy;
great post, angie!

... When someone makes me laugh

... when I make someone laugh

more like a poem than a regular post. very nice!

I agree that the value of a good dousing and soy smoothie is sometimes underrated.

...when my family is gathered round me.
...when there's a bag of Dove chocolates in the cupboard.
...when I'm running in the early morning light.
...when I hear the laughter of friends surrounding me...

I know I'm late to play...sorry. Also, I'm just catching up. I hope things are going better for you, that the stuff going on has settled down, or even better, resolved. You are strong Angie - remember, when one door closes, you have to look around, because another will be opening...

I’m in harmony, doing the things I love, surrounded by family and friends, above tree line - the world is always so peaceful and perfect from this outlook!

Great post!

...when my kids are acting up, but to me it just seems funny

...I see wildlife on my morning run

...there's a gentle breeze in the yard, my flowers are blooming and the margaritas are cold

Angie,

Hope this isn't out of place, I wasn't sure where to put this. As a fellow Tucsonan, and a recent road-to-trail convert, I ran across your site while searching Google.

After reading your post on the Seven Falls/Sabino Canyon run (a combo I wouldn't have thought of on my own), I gave it a shot. I was cursing your name at about the 2-mile spot on the road, even though it was my fault for doing it on such a warm, muggy morning. You were right - being first in the morning to hit Seven Falls is a beautiful feeling.

I need to start running in the morning like you just after the alarm goes off. You make it sounds so pleasant.

Just thinking of you and wanted to check on you!

Hope all is well. I miss your posts.

pat

...when angie comes around and posts on my blog :D

I hope everything is ok, Angie. We miss you.
