I was thinking about something the other day and this line came to mind; it made me think which caused me ask myself this question:  Am I brave?  I don't think I'm very brave. In fact, I think that when hard times come, or difficult situations arise, I try to smooth over the confrontation. "Sometimes I wonder about my life. I lead a small life - well, valuable, but small - and sometimes I wonder, do I do it because I like it, or because I haven't been brave? So much of what I see reminds me of something I read in a book, when shouldn't it be the other way around? I don't really want an answer. I just want to send this cosmic question out into the void. So good night, dear void." Are you brave?   What are some things that define your  bravery?

I don't know about you, but I had a plan this new year, and like most people it was to get into better shape.  I knew going into 2014 (still can't believe that it's 2014!) that things for me where going to be busy, and that they were going to get busy fast!  Still, I planned on carving out time for workouts and things like that.  I was pumped and ready to start working out!  Then we had a cold snap...like a really bad, 18 degrees-cold-snap.  And most of my running (well all of my running) was to be done outside.  I just couldn't run in 18 degrees.  I'm not that  adventurous. *laughs* Then it "warmed" up to the 30's and 40's and I was super excited to finally get moving!   Then we got sick...again. This was out 3rd in a row  time being sick!  Ugh!  I woke up and felt, well, sick and I knew that I couldn't run, even though I planned on working ...
