I just heard a great line in a movie that we're watching. A little girl can't sleep because the neighbor is having a party. There's loud music, lots of people and a lot of laughing. She says, "Their happy's too loud." Wow. I like that. It brought me to question, how loud is my happy? Does it overflow and affect others? I hope so - at least some of the time.
Today, my happy is pretty loud, I think. I've had a good day from start to finish, but I have to admit, the best part of my day came this evening when my Anna and I set out for a nice, long run. Here are a few pics -
This is our turnaround point. We didn't take any pics for the first half. We started off with tight, tired muscles, but by mile 5, we were feeling good! Here's the proof:
On the way back, we turned around and caught a glimpse of a beautiful sunset. The picture doesn't do it justice, but hopefully you get the idea.
There's nothing quite like the feeling of finishing a long run. It is an amazingly effective way to rid yourself of stress and give you perspective. We finished well, came home, enjoyed a spaghetti supper and are watching a movie with the family.
I must say, I'm feeling like my happy is quite loud right now.
