This morning, I went for a long run. And it was a good distance, I can’t complain about that in any way. I think I may have to add the quarter mile to make it at least a 10k. It took me an hour and a half to complete this loop. It was hills and then more hills and then more hills and then lastly, more hills.
The run was hot. I kept thinking about running it again tomorrow morning, thinking what time would I have to leave in order to get back with enough time to stretch a little and try to get my 10 minutes of focused meditation in all before getting ready for work. I’m thinking I need to be out of the house by 4.45am in order to get the run finished and me to work on time. I think I need to make sure I’m out of the house by then. Which means a lot of things.
Coffee will have to be made already and ready for me to have after I’m done with the run. I should think my husband will have already have left the house by the time I get back. I will need to stretch a little too. And it takes me about 40 minutes to get all the way ready from the time I get into the shower and then out of the door.. And I will need my lunch stuff ready to go as well. Yeah…. I think 4.45 is when I need to leave..
Aside from these thoughts, I recently became a grandma. I love this little guy, he’s such a sweet little man. We talk and he is so cute. One night, about a week ago, his parents went on a drive to just get away from the house for an hour. We had him in our room and as we are watching him sleep, his little eyes start to flicker, like he’s in REM stage. Clearly babies dream. Now, we can argue about when does a soul enter the body and a baby become a cognitive being, however, that’s not what I want to talk about. My belief, or idea, revolves heavily on reincarnation. I feel this way from my own life experiences telling me so. My husband also believes in this line of philosophy . We watched him, dreaming and a thought came to me. What if they’re dreams are memories of the life they just left? You see them smile from time to time or their little faces get all scrunched up and they get upset. My husband said either that or it’s the download that comes from changing bodies. He said in his experience, he has come to areas that are foreign jungles and he knows that you can’t go one way because there is a ravine right there, and he’s never been there before. I still say the memories. It’s how our subconscious mind talks to us, and it does show memories. It’s how there have been many documented times of children knowing things they couldn’t have known before.
From what I have learned in the last ten year or so, is that for some reason, we tend to travel in the same karmic circles. We have reoccurring souls who we have contact with over and over again, lifetime after lifetime. Some are good and some we can do without, at least, it would seem, we could do without them. I guess one of my favorite movies that kind of follows that would be Cloud Atlas. Wow. Such a great story. We have the opportunity to be better, to do better, to be the best version of ourselves that we can be. Changing and evolving, hopefully for the better. And then the question of destiny or free will came to my mind. If it’s all part of a plan, do we really have free will, or was all in the plan to start with? Too many questions came to mind for me this morning.
I think I’m a bit sunburnt from my adventures today too. The first outing, I had my sunglasses on. The second was my shades and my hat. The third was my shades again. I am very sweaty and I am looking forward to my second shower of the day.
I ran out of my thyroid meds last week. Went into the office where I buy them and they were out. They won’t have them until maybe Wednesday. I am hoping that by upping my miles, I will be able to maintain and be normal until I can get back to my normal medicine and routine.
It seems that after having our eldest live with us for a few months, they are ready to move into their own place. I’m excited but I’m bummed too. I will miss the good conversation and the laughs. I will miss seeing the little ones and the extra voices all around. But, I understand wanting to have a place of your own, so I smile and enjoy them while we are all here together. I forgot a family photo recently, but, hopefully, I will be able to get one soon enough.
I feel pretty scattered writing right now. I don’t have my music on to help me concentrate and focus a bit. It’s all good though, no need to word about it right now. For the time being, I’m going to sign off, and bid you all a good night. It’s been a good day. I’m glad to be where I am. I look forward to what’s to come. Tomorrow brings a new day, a day to be better than what I was today. I am working hard on that one. ~ PeAcE~
