Day 1

Ed and I are tackling our first run today. Well, it's really more of a run/walk, but that's besides the point.

I had a hard time getting up this morning. I'm off work today so I could sleep in. Coupled that with the facts that I've been feeling down about not finding a full-time job nearly as quickly as I would like and the realization that I still miss my family a lot, even though I'm a lot closer than I used to be . . . well, let's just say I didn't feel very motivated.

This afternoon I decided it would be best to just get out of the house and take my laptop to the local Panera to get some job-searching done. I walked out the door and realized that the weather is absolutely GLORIOUS! It's simply beautiful. The temperature is pleasant and the fall leaves are stunning. Oh how I've missed this.

And it struck me that the Universe seems to be saying, "Hey Wendy, good luck on Day 1. You're going to rock this. I'm on your side."

At least for today, I feel invincible.

"Ain't nothin' gonna to break my stride
Nobody's gonna slow me down, oh-no
I got to keep on movin'"
