I have really been sucking it up at my blogging. So much for keeping you people that actually want to hear about my life up to date.
This year actually wasn't so bad. I am very blessed, this I know.
To name a few events of the year:
My baby niece Cora was born, my family has become closer through hardships, new friends were made, and I ran my first half marathon.
I have dreams and aspirations for my life, and to be honest my life isn't where I thought it would be at this age. It's been good though, and I know I shouldn't want more but that's my human heart I guess.
I know I am so blessed with my health, a healthy family and love. I see people in my line of work that are just broken. People are dying every day, some with no family by their side, and some with an abundance of family members filling the halls. That's a part of the job, heck, it's part of life.
I had a hope of running a full marathon in the year 2012. After my half marathon experience, I thought it would be possible. However due to my hip issue, I don't think it's going to be possible. I've researched and researched, and have diagnosed myself with piriformis syndrome. Not a lot can be done with it, you just have to do a lot of strengthening, stretching, massage and sometimes chiropractic adjustments. I hope to one day be able to do a full marathon, but this piriformis syndrome takes a loooong time to restore itself. Taking it slow, shortening my runs, and doing tons of strengthening is in the cards for me for now. As long as I can keep running some, it's better than not at all. I never thought I would say that about running.
Running has saved me from myself. Running isn't for some people, but I truly love it. Some days it's hard to get up and do it, I will admit. Most days it's a needed relief. Popping on my headphones, listening to music, letting the endorphins flow, and thinking about nothing... it's the best.
I am ready for 2012.
I'm not planning on doing any New Year's Resolutions. I just want to be happy and I want everyone that I love to be happy. I want the world to be at peace, and I want people to be kind to one another. I want lies to stop, and truths to be told. I want people to stop hurting and using one another for selfish gain.
Only in a perfect world. A girl can dream, can't she?
