newt action

Hello all. I had the best experience today at work! Not best-best, but serene and thoughtful..

a patient I had (I do ultrasounds) was completely out of it and was post-stroke.

I was doing the test and he just wanted to hold my hand throught the whole thing. It was the cutest, saddest thing ever :(

I took as long as I could just so I could hold the old man's hand :)

Your horoscope for April 2, 2009 You should feel a renewed sense of confidence today that will help anchor your emotions and give strength to your thoughts and ideas today, shan. Don't take such a pessimistic attitude towards everything around you. Look at the good in situations instead of the bad. By maintaining a negative viewpoint about things, you are only adding more problems to the situation. You have every right to be happy.

omg last day of march?????

Its been awhile!

Hey there! I haven't posted because..well, I've just been lazy..and I've been having this recurring pain in my lower calf after every run..until now!
The culprit??! My asics kayano 14s! I've been using my ds trainer 14s and no problems whatsoever! They are much lighter. I think I just cannot do heavy shoes. They are too cushioned maybe, but I am so much faster, more confident! YAY!

Anyways I am continuing to be kind of....happy about this economy situation because I feel it brings us back to doing what really makes us happy, aside from the emotional shopping/spending sprees.

It has forced me to be more creative, more mindful, more happy....If i knew then what I know now..... <3
