SO -- First, i'm sick of my journal entry that's been posted for months...it's depressing, so here's to change. And I'll toast to change again by saying that there are times in everyone's life when, even though it's VERY difficult, we must start looking ahead, or even at what is right there in front of us begging for attention, and leave what we have past behind. Of course this is often made more difficult when the past always seems to rear it's ugly head when least expected. Anyway, it's something I've been thinking a lot about. It applies to my education, my family, and my "love" life, for lack of a better term. And while I'm on that subject, here's a little blurb from a past journal that I happen to like alot, so here it is again:

How is it that the heart, the most rhytmic grouping of organic tissue in a living mammal, became assosciated with love? I've thought about this, and I've come to one stupifyingly obvious conclusion. When two people are close, lying together and holding each other a thumping rhythym is what they hear and feel eminating from the very center of the person they are with. It reassures them with each beat that there is someone there for them, possibly loving them at THAT very instant. It is a constant tangible, palpable source of euphoria that supplies solace and joy. These two combined, are very similar, perhaps even the very result of, what we know as love. And that is why we love with our "heart." Think about it.

So anyway, live by running for what's ahead of you, and not running from what's behind, and when you reach whatever lies ahead, love it.
