I Never Minded the Little Things

My personal philosophy... summarized, because if you wanted to hear all of it, you might want to get some camping gear... It would take a good week or so to explain it all without getting you lost in metaphors and similes ;)

*****************************************************************************

Rain had never really bothered me, even when on one of my daily runs. Small talk made my day better because it gave the smallest thought in my head a voice. You see wind and say Oh no! Yet when I see wind, I see an opportunity to soar to greater heights. These things are small, but perfect to me, because all in all they make me feel free.

Yes, I adore the cold shiver up my spine in the morning in the fall and winter; it lets me know that it's time to embrace the day and live. Should it be strange to you that I love the pain in my legs when I beat my shoes on the pavement, then I feel sorry for you because when I run by you and see you just standing there, you're missing out on a wonderful feeling; still, I don't mind you staring at me, for it makes me feel proud of myself.

The coo of the birds, the smell of exhaust from an eighteen wheeler, and the splash of water on my face from a passing car; yes, these things I do not mind.

Optimism is the only true way of life because without even a little bit of it, you're sure to drown in your own self pity... So smile more, embrace the sunshine... and never mind the little things that could get you down.

Keep dreaming and don't miss out on tomorrow :)
