Why do I not devote more time to it? I get frustrated when I sit down to draw. It used to be so relaxing. I need to go back to doing it for fun, and not think too hard when I am drawing. My dad gave me an amazing color pencil set, so I should use this great gift!

And then Atlanta. I love being in a city, except for traffic. :) It’s awesome to have amazing opportunities for entertainment and education come your way simply because you’re in a big city. I liked Boston better because you can walk everywhere, but I love Atlanta’s weather.
And now I can run several! Even though I played sports, I just was never good at this in high school and finally achieved this goal in college.
I did a 5K (approx 3 miles) a while back, and were it not for my back problem, I would train for a half or full marathon. You have to start slowly. It’s the only way. I ran on a sand path in college and later ran on the treadmill in the gym. One day I woke up and wanted to run, and that day – and only that day – I ran 5 miles without stopping.
