Christmas
Questioning what Christmas is, what it means to me…and I am drawing blanks.
Confidence, I think it’s time to work on this. My lacking of this has ruined me at work, in my relationship and overall well-being. I say I am ugly because I was once told that. I say I am not strong enough because I was once told that as well. I say I am fat as I was once told that I was. I say I am not smart because I was once told that. I say I am not not good enough because I was once told that…why have I kept holding onto these past comments? What sucks the most is that everyone around me has told me differ. As I was writing this entry, I saw my reflection in the window across from me and decided to take a picture…and I actually liked what I saw. Here’s to confidence, here’s to me.

I got an email from a reader named Joe last week. He was going to be in Vancouver this week and wanted to go for a run. I was excited: you know… get out and run the seawall with an out-of-towner on a sunny day. Well, it turns out that yesterday was the last day of sunshine for the year. The rain came in and it was a wet run. Hence, no pictures. I grabbed a picture of Joe, though, and crudely added myself.
Joe dragon boats. Have you heard of it? Sounds fun. 20 paddlers, one captain and one … drummer. Yes, they employ a drummer to keep the pace. If we’re going to start an Internet dragon boating team, I call dibs on drummer.
Pouring rain 5-miler. 53 minutes.
Thanks, Joe.
Yay, got to meet an inspiration!
