The ones with no imagination are always the quickest to justify themselves.

Sometimes when I think of life, I feel like a piece of driftwood washed up on shore.

Wherever there's hope there's a trial.

At times like this, adults need a drink

Nobody's going to win all the time. On the highway of life you can't always be in the fast lane.

Running taught me to have faith in my skills as a writer. I learned how much I can demand of myself, when I need a break, and when the break starts to get too long. I known how hard I am allowed to push myself.

Even if there were two of me, I still couldn't do all that has to be done. No matter what, though, I keep up my running. Running every day is a kind of lifeline for me, so I'm not going to lay off or quit just because I'm busy. If I used being busy as an excuse not to run, I'd never run again. I have only a few reasons to keep on running, and a truckload of them to quit. All I can do is keep those few reasons nicely polished.
