I ran today.
Let me say that louder:
I RAN TODAY!!!!!!!!
First time since last June.
While I ran, I kept thinking, “Running makes me a better person. Keeps the mental squirrels at bay.”
Then I decided to make a list of all things that make me a better person.
Things that maintain this fine thread of sanity that I tenuously grasp:
Running
The Desert
Sex
Sunshine
Air on my skin
Writing
Sex
Time alone
Grass
Naps
My children
Sex
Ice cream (in particular, Alden’s strawberry)
Good food
Hanging with my dog
Sex
The right music
Baking
Eating chocolate cake (see “baking”)

Hanging with TAM
