Wide awake and dreaming.

What do you say we just forget the archives exist and start from scratch.

Here's what I have. Here's what I know.

1. I have Twitter - two of them actually. And I love it. And use it heavily in waves.
2. I have Facebook and I am finding I use it less and less as time goes on.
3. I need to start penning my thoughts - or punching them out on keys, actually - in longer form again.

Quick pulse check of life for me today:

I have a son and a husband. Two dogs, a cat, and a 122-year-old house (@McIntoshHotel).

I work full time for the Labor Union. I volunteer practically full time for Carry the Future (@Carry_thefuture).

My life is full, my heart is happy, I feel and give love generously daily.

Here's what I want:

1. I want to sculpt more self-care time out of each day (week).
2. I want to make it a priority to make life an adventure for our family.
3. I want to rediscover my love of music.

My knee starts to stay in a constant state of noticeable discomfort after I've jogged for over a week. 3. I miss the liberating feeling of running. 4. I miss the empowerment of cross-training (biking, swimming, running) So I've been perusing the intarwebz for motivational media this morning. And while I hate Nike for their shoddy work ethic, jacked up prices, and apparently tiny clothes, I love them for their motivational material. I just have yet to find any media more inspiring to me than the following advertisements. And ... "I am addicted. I've collected footsteps before dawn. Seen places I never knew existed. Run to the moon and back. Been a rabbit for the neighborhood dogs. Obeyed the voice in my head. Let music carr...

I used to ... I want to ... I will.

I used to write all the time. I used to ride my bicycle. I used to do better about working out. I wonder what happened. It's too late at night to really make a change now, but I'm making the vow to change tomorrow. My life will be full of bike rides and writing in no time.
