With Relative Ease

This weekend kicked my butt, in a good way. A friend drove us to Cincinnati for a hockey tournament (that I played in!) with the team I am practicing with, the Piranhas. I had never been to Ohio before, so this was an anti-climactic first for me. The drive to Cincinnati is flat. It's unnerving.

Unfortunately, there are no cool pictures to show because I did not think the chain drug store where I bought a Vitamin Water was particularly compelling.

What I can say is that a lot of things in my life are changing, as we speak. It feels good. This month has been particularly busy but it is helping me to move forward. There is no time to dwell on the problems we are creating for ourselves.

My friend, who I rode out with, is a few years older than me and I respect a lot of things about her. The two 4.5 hour car rides were spent talking -- we didn't even turn the music on once. This period of change is definitely a period of growth for me. A lot of potential is laying dormant and I am tapping into it more and more each day. Fans of exercise, specifically weight lifters (for all different reasons) refer to the six-month period when they initially begin lifting as a sweet spot because their bodies can build muscle, lose fat, and make huge gains in their abilities. I feel like this might be the metaphor of life for me right now.
