While we don't grow older.

“Growing old is mandatory. Growing up is optional.”

“In times of joy, all of us wished we possessed a tail we could wag.”

“A person can learn a lot from a dog, even a loopy one like ours. Marley taught me about living each day with unbridled exuberance and joy, about seizing the moment and following your heart. He taught me to appreciate the simple things-a walk in the woods, a fresh snowfall, a nap in a shaft of winter sunlight. And as he grew old and achy, he taught me about optimism in the face of adversity. Mostly, he taught me about friendship and selflessness and, above all else, unwavering loyalty.” 
― John Grogan, Marley and Me: Life and Love With the World's Worst Dog

While waiting for spring

No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn.

3rd 10K!!!

This is my 3rd year running at the Beltline 10K.  This is such a neat development in Atlanta, and it is nice so see the progress of it every year, now the had paved most of the Eastside trail, except for the part back at the piedmont park new expansion. It was a cold and wind morning, but it was a blast

Today (I am)....

This year was a very challenging on for me.  As I do my checks an balance, I've learn a lot, had one of the happiest day of my life and the saddest too. I'm finding out that growing up is still hard for me  and does not stop ever. I'm soul-searching, (but isn't it that a constant) My marriage is not so good, the scars are a little deeper that I wanted, and I seem to not shake it off my emotional baggage. 
On a brighter not:  I want to remind yourself, that you are one fine lady! You are fun and full of life. You have interest on everything, and sometimes it makes it difficult to choose something to focus on. You love home decoration, you are not a fashion snob but you have style, you like technology, and is very found of pinterest, instagram and crafts.
This year you took classes of photography again, but had not been as active; cooking classes for soups (Souper Jenny); guitar lessons and progressed quite a bit, and  (brace yourself) christmas wrapping paper (hahaha),  least but not least  French classes! I loved it all... 



being challenged in forgiving and moving on;

looking forward for planning about moving to a new city;

loving my doggies that teach me about loyalty every day;

appreciating finishing one more semester at GSU;

moving slowly on the plans of changing a job;

feeling grateful for being able to move on;

hoping for a new year full of happiness and new destinations.

Ceu eh o limite!
