Giving it a try
Sometimes, it feels as though all the joy has been sucked out of life; it feels like what's the point? Why care? And then my son smiles or gives me a hug and I remember that hormones can stimulate feelings and life is an experiment and there's always choice in how I want to move forward and life just ebbs and flows and then I feel better.
And I know I'll feel even better later this week after I take my knee out for a run.

We all have our moments in the darkness. The special thing about you Angie is you always find your way back into the light. That’s why I know you will be just fine. I struggled for a long time to ‘find myself.’ I feel that I have, but there are still days when I wonder. The most important thing is that life, much like an ultra, is about continuing to move forward no matter how challenging things might be right now. You just never know what might be just over the horizon. The fun part about life is in finding out.

Having two daughters (5 and 7) I know what it like to see that smile and get that hug.
Good luck with the knee later this week.

I call these feelings, "life is good" moments. They'll hit you completely out of the blue and really pick you up.

You need your endorphins! I wish I could be there to join you on your run!
