Forty weeks! You guys, I could have made another human by now. I’ve been walking long enough to make bones and organs and hair and appendages–long enough to create life. I didn’t create a new life, but I like to think I’ve extended mine.
Song of the Week
I used to listen to country music in college, but haven’t really listened to it since then unless Spotify/Pandora/iTunes radio thinks I’ll like an artist. Last week iTunes slipped in Kip Moore’s Hey Pretty Girl. I liked it, so when I came home I put his album on Spotify while I worked. Apparently they do artist interviews on Spotify, and at one point he did one on a song called Crazy One More Time, which is also on the album. I found the video version, which I’ve embeded below. For some reason, his story about the song really touched me. (I know, I sound like a romantic fool.) I’m always so impressed with people who can be so honest and direct about their feelings for another person, and then to put it in a song the whole world will hear! Amazing.
Don’t you just love when a song perfectly captures “it”? I’m sitting here, a little misty, thinking of a certain boy and his red car and “our spot”. I’m smiling at the fact that even after all these years, something in my chest catches a little when I think of him. You might be a romantic, but you’re my kind.
40 weeks! Inspiring. :)
You kind of did create a new life though. A healthier one for yourself. Well done you.
Who’d have thunk it, week 40, where has the year gone? Way back in December when you were trying to decide what to do for a year long series, did you think that walking would be as awesome as it has turned out to be? I love that it has become an integral part of your day, and hope that it continues to be as the calendar turns to 2014. You’ve made an awesome change, I’m sure your body thanks you for it. Exercise, as preventative medicine, is such a hot topic around here, is it the same in the states?
