TDT: Magic

November 28, 2012January 31, 2016 / pajerunner / Leave a comment

My ideas usually come not at my desk writing but in the midst of living. -- Anais Nin  My ideas usually come not at my desk but while running. This became abundantly clear last evening when I was trying to catch up with my blogs.  Lately the internet has not been very supportive of me putting … Continue reading TDT: Magic

TDT: Bravery

November 28, 2012January 31, 2016 / pajerunner / Leave a comment

Today I'm thankful for the bravery to do completely, wonderfully, illogically, life-changing things.  Things that really make my life the best it can be. "It's awfully hard to be b-b-b-b-brave when you're such a small animal." --Piglet It's easy to be brave when there are people around you who lift you up so you don't feel … Continue reading TDT: Bravery

TDT: The Race

November 28, 2012January 31, 2016 / pajerunner / Leave a comment

I'm thankful for this poem.  I think of it almost every day.  Coach Mayer read it to me one day after an extremely difficult practice.  I was particularly hard on myself because I LIVED for cross country practice and did not understand why my body would not do what I wanted.  At the time, we … Continue reading TDT: The Race

TDT: Long Car Rides

November 28, 2012January 31, 2016 / pajerunner / Leave a comment

Today, I’m thankful for long car rides.  I love the solitude it affords.  One never can tell how much one has to think about until they have the time to think about it.  It’s not always a voluntary activity.  On the lengthy trip from Northern Kentucky to New Cumberland, PA yesterday, I was forced into … Continue reading TDT: Long Car Rides

TDT: Hugs

"Sometimes it's better to put love into hugs than to put it into words."  ~Author Unknown Today, I'm thankful for hugs.  There’s just something about a hug that can make time change; well, vanish really.  It’s a special thing when you are blessed with a hug like this.  I hope everyone knows what I’m talking … Continue reading TDT: Hugs

TDT: Thanksgiving Day Race

November 28, 2012January 31, 2016 / pajerunner / Leave a comment

The Thanksgiving Day Race. Infinitely important tradition for countless reasons.  I say, “Countless,” but watch me try: 1)    Obvious: work off calories for all the goodies I’m about to eat tonight. 2)    Run into favorite people before the race: Coach V and family. 3)    Encounter some of the best of humanity: People standing along the … Continue reading TDT: Thanksgiving Day Race

TDT: Weeds and Dirt

November 28, 2012January 31, 2016 / pajerunner / Leave a comment

Today, I am thankful for the weeds and the dirt. "Weeds are flowers, too, once you get to know them." A dear friend in college told me that, scientifically, dirt is just misplaced soil.  Both of these tidbits of wisdom seem to deal with perspective.  The past few months I have been fortunate to be … Continue reading TDT: Weeds and Dirt

TDT: Robert Frost

November 28, 2012January 31, 2016 / pajerunner / Leave a comment

Today, I am thankful for the following poem: "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having … Continue reading TDT: Robert Frost

TST: Snuggles

November 20, 2012January 31, 2016 / pajerunner / Leave a comment

On this interesting day of yucky tummy-ness, I am thankful for snuggly sweaters that make me feel taken care of.  I just like snuggling down, wrapped up in woven delight. As we grow, how we're taken care of changes drastically.  How we let people take care of us changes drastically. Do we let people take … Continue reading TST: Snuggles

TDT: Sleep on the floor

November 20, 2012January 31, 2016 / pajerunner / Leave a comment

"The more one does and sees and feels, the more one is able to do, and the more genuine may be one's appreciation of fundamental things like home, and love, and understanding companionship." Amelia Earhart I'm thankful for a night's sleep on the floor.  That's right.  I'm thankful for sleeping on the cold hard floor … Continue reading TDT: Sleep on the floor

TDT: I love you

November 20, 2012January 31, 2016 / pajerunner / Leave a comment

Today, I'm thankful for, "I love you." Who do you love? Have you told them? You should. Worst that could happen? They don't say it back.  Good part? You'll never wonder. What does it mean anyway? It means you truly care about someone. People make it a loaded phrase. It's not. It's simple. It's that … Continue reading TDT: I love you

TDT: Anticipation

November 20, 2012January 31, 2016 / pajerunner / Leave a comment

Today, I'm thankful for anticipation and all that it does.  The anticipation of the day, pulls me out of bed.  The anticipation of tomorrow leads me to do the best I can today.  The anticipation of what's waiting for me around the corner. “Well," said Pooh, "what I like best," and then he had to … Continue reading TDT: Anticipation

TDT: Between Sleep and Awake

November 20, 2012January 31, 2016 / pajerunner / Leave a comment

Today, I'm thankful for the time between sleep and awake.  That time before you fall asleep but you're state of consciousness can't be defined as awake.  I'm thankful for that time because it seems like one of the few times you can be fully aware, but not.  I find that I have these odd mini-dreams … Continue reading TDT: Between Sleep and Awake

TDT: Cold Air

November 20, 2012January 31, 2016 / pajerunner / Leave a comment

I'm thankful for the cold air. Pounding out the miles always seems a million times easier for me in the cold.  The crisp air sharpens the view.  It's easier to really see during a cold run.  It's easier for me to really notice.  I take in more details.  I can see the joy or pain people … Continue reading TDT: Cold Air

TDT: Music

November 16, 2012January 31, 2016 / pajerunner / 1 Comment

Today, I'm thankful for the Music. Not just any old music, but THE music.  You know what I mean.  The music that you can identify after hearing only a few notes.  The music that makes your heart flutter; lulls you through the valleys of life; pushes you to the peaks and morphs you there whenever … Continue reading TDT: Music

TDT: Friends

Today is the Marine Corps Birthday and tomorrow is Veteran's day. With my family history, not days I'll ever forget. This year has been a bit different on the outside, but not in my heart.

TDT: Reading

November 10, 2012January 31, 2016 / pajerunner / 2 Comments

I’m thankful for reading. "So much of what I see reminds me of something I read in a book, when shouldn't it be the other way around? " Kathleen Kelly, You've Got Mail When I read something prior to running, it floats around my brain and new ideas are jolted loose with each pounding step.  The thoughts … Continue reading TDT: Reading

TDT: It’s Personal

November 9, 2012January 31, 2016 / pajerunner / Leave a comment

Tonight's run reminded me of this: I’m thankful for the people in my life, who from time to time, know, “It’s personal.” There’s a bit of dialogue from the 1998 film, You’ve Got Mail, starring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks.  It’s a bit of a chick flick.  I know some guys who like it.  It’s … Continue reading TDT: It’s Personal

TDT: The Ebb

November 8, 2012January 31, 2016 / pajerunner / Leave a comment

Life is a constant ebb and flow.  Out with the old and in with the new.  Peace before the storm and then after again.  There’s been a lot of storm around here recently: Election, Sandy, economy, unstable world governments and on and on and on.  Those are just a few of the macro storms.  That … Continue reading TDT: The Ebb
