Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested: that is, some books are to be read only in parts, others to be read, but not curiously, and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention.”

December 23, 2013 gratitude 10-mile meditative run,“It was being a runner that mattered, not how fast or how far I could run. The joy was in the act of running and in the journey, not in the destination. We have a better chance of seeing where we are when we stop trying to get somewhere else. We can enjoy every moment of movement, as long as where we are is as good as, where we would like to be. That is not to say that you need to be satisfied forever with where you are today. But honor what you've accomplished, rather than thinking of what's left to be done.”
