I have been going through a streak of major setbacks for the past 2 months now. Added to the year long betrayal problem is the annual tuition fee, mortgage payments, and bills that don't stop coming in the mail.
A friend said through a YM message that everyone goes through this and we are given problems that we can solve. Well that's a fact and his advice was very encouraging.
This morning I received one of those "faith" emails with a dumb story about a professor and his famous piece of chalk. I could'nt stop myself from replying so I had to give him a piece of my mind regarding his lesson on faith.
This afternoon I had a wonderful lunch alone at this cheap Korean fastfood outlet. Having the need to carboload for tonight's run, I had chicken barbeque, rice and ramyun. I guess that was the only highlight of the day aside from hearing about other bad news on how I was supposed to get paid by my brother's swindler friend and partner, and how the appraisal of my house went as people there stood by to the computation of the bank's appraiser with no objections at all!!!!
I am still happy, in good health and as strong as ever. I write to say that I will just put this all behind and run tonight to the tune of Tom Petty and the Hearbreakers, Steely Dan, and Manfred Man's Earth Band.
The reward is a runner's high, and hopefully good sleep tonight with the thought of being at the trails again in a day. It just makes me smile. It just keeps me going.
It is the best thing to do because stress can make you sick, burn you out, or even kill you.
These things will be over soon. I say this to myself again as I look forward to seeing the beach soon with my family...even just for two days...please.
