Virtual Runs

I noticed that there's a trend with these new virtual runs, what a great idea!

You sign up, do the run when YOU want to, report your time and receive a bib and a medal. Part of the proceeds go to the cause of the month. This particular virtual run is for cancer which I am sure has touched the lives of all of you. If getting in shape was a new years resolution, this could be the answer you are looking for.

And cause I am an overachiever and love a good challenge, I signed up for three of them :)

Hello February

January was a tough month.  After Grandma left her body, two other relatives left their bodies as well. It was tough to remain my regular positive self and thoughts of illness kept plaguing my mind. I tried to still my mind as much as possible and dove into reading and spending time with myself.  Started reading more about Buddhism and gave meditation a try.

February is a fresh start. The end of my vacation is nearing and although I am not really rested, I look forward to going back to work and my ship.  I will make this contract a productive one and do my best to accomplish my personal and professional goals. I always feel so welcomed going back to my ship and it does feel like people truly miss me.

Well here's to a fresh and positive start, Hello February!
