Feeling Lucky

On occasion I go a bit “crazy” ….... like I did this afternoon, …... my home page ,“GOOGLE” showed a “I'm Feeling Lucky Button”. To be honest I don't know why I clicked on it as “I'm Feeling Like “*@#$” would have been far more appropriate.

Perhaps it was fate; I was lucky, the click took me to works of art, new and classic that I paged through for the better part of a half hour.

For that half hour I was fully engaged; forgetting that my GI tract was hell bent on punishing me for some totally unknown reason. I don't care who you are; after ten to fifteen trips to the can most of us enter the “This is not fun” state of mind.

As I paged though the pages I was drawn into the emotion, composition, colors and depictions of men/women, I began to feel at peace. Pain lessened and my mood reversed itself.

I have no great insights to offer nor recommendations ..... but I do know this ….. The next time I feel like “*@#$” I'll seek out art or listen to some classical music.

On another note, my JFK training is going OK. If my body gives me any cooperation on race day I think I'll make it.  My running friends are amazing with how they are supporting me. Thanks Guys (and Gals)
