It’s been so long that I’ve existed with a healthy fear of stopping my meds, that I haven’t given myself the chance to try life on my own. The time is coming – I can’t see myself achieving any of these goals with the meds as a crutch…then it’s not really ME working towards my goals, it’s me on meds which is, in a way, cheating.

I haven’t been very good at letting the people in my life know how much I love them – reaching out to them often and responding to them promptly and consistently is a pretty straightforward place to start.
Once upon a time, I thought I wanted to train for the NYC Marathon but changed my mind after a 15k I ran. I’m not sure what yet, but I want to set a goal, one that pushes my physically and mentally and acheive it. I need to remember that “slow and steady wins” and I really think that putting the effort into following a training schedule, seeing the progress that comes from practice all the while, being focused on the goal will remind me that life is progress not perfection and that I am capable of the determination and motivation it takes to win.
