If I Die Running
First mile down and you’re pumping
through my veins like a drug.
I am lifted.
I am invincible.
Sweat drips; and the faint burn
makes itself at home in my lungs.
The sun sets up ahead,
and it's horizontal light warms me as I run.
Clouds frame little pockets of blue sky above.
Problems shrink and I see everything

You numb the pain.

Barefoot in November is not the type of book I usually read. Although I have been know to read almost any genre, memoirs and self-help books are probably the ones that I read the least of. The premise for this book sounded interesting, though, and...

made a comment on "...the couch moving scene was hilarious. I laughed out loud and woke up my husband who was crashed on the couch.(he works long hours and it's a physical job in his defense) In any case he thought I was nuts but hey it's funny!" -Barefoot in November reade:

“At the end of the day your ability to connect with your readers comes down to how you make them feel.”

“It's amazing how we wake up every day and just take for granted that life will go on. We know the reality that it will end at some point, yet we still wake up every morning believing deeply, that we will live forever.”
― Benjamin J. Carey, Barefoot in November
― Benjamin J. Carey, Barefoot in November
“As the years go by those relationships are tested, and only then do you realize their true nature. Only after they've been tested through weddings, moves, funerals, divorces, births and other stages in life are you able to judge them. Until then, 'best friend', 'good guy', etc are only labels. In the end, it's interesting; often surprising to see the results.”
