Today I am torn between being happy and celebrating my accomplishments, and being sad for my losses.
I am happy that I have been consistent with my new goal of exercising more regularly. I went running today and feel great about my new habit. I love getting out in the early morning and having time to myself to 'meditate'. I am using a technique for quieting and controlling my mind that I learned from Sensaria's president, Melissa Soete. I spend about five minutes on each of the four steps of Breathe (concentrating on my breathing), Gratitude, Vision and Affirmations. And, I'm able to run longer and stop to walk less often. Most days I feel like I have more energy all day after running - but not today.
I am sad today because I have to say goodbye to several friends. One of my friends graduated and is leaving the country soon - I may not see him again. One of my co-workers and friends is leaving his Evergreen job and going on the road to help the Edwards campaign. And one of my favorite co-workers already left Evergreen for another college. Life is full of losses, but today I am especially sad about it.

I have lots of days like that, too, Susan. I have lots to be happy about and grateful for and I AM - most of the time. But there are also those days that I just miss people who have left SO MUCH. For whatever it's worth, I just wanted to say I can relate.
