Later I joined a running group and they thought the lipgloss was hysterical, but lipgloss is an essential in my book! ;-) I'm so glad that you stopped by. Reading your message reminded me that on most days I do actually have the capability to put one foot in front of the other. Today, I have the energy of a flea and your comment gave me a mental boost! I tend to think of any big goal as a marathon, don't you? I mean not everyone will have a sports goal but those other goals are no less important and require the same effort to accomplish. Thanks for stopping by Deb and giving me a much needed mental lift. ;-) Hi Deb!

But, really, kudos for running the marathon, which is something I simply cannot imagine ever doing. I'm impressed! I chuckled at the lipgloss, too–it’s important to look your best!

One thing is certain, that running alone is awful. In company, well, I

left alone.

Same with life. It’s not a secret that I am looking for a new job, in a new country, and I say that counts as a pretty big marathon, especially since I try to run it alone.

But then suddenly life throws people in my way, people who are willing to help, without even knowing me for real – and there is a huge “Thank You !” going to you, Karen -, helping with some paperwork, cheering me on, digging up old acquaintances, then it turns out that the boyfriend of the woman who wants to sell me some saving funds has a trailer in England, and although he does not know me at all, he is willing to lend it if I need it.

I have a friend, we have met on MSN in 2000, and have not met in person
until last September, when he invited me to his wedding. He has the line “Cuando una persona desea realmente algo, el Universo entero conspira para que pueda realizar su sueno.” on his MSN profile, which translates to “When someone really wants something, the whole Universe will conspire so he could fulfill his dream”. Or something like that :) And it seems really true.

Running alone is possible, but to me it seems that Life makes it
difficult in the sense that it will throw a convenient companion in
your way ever couple of steps and you have to be really clever to miss them all. All you have to do is watching for opportunities which will be there.
