darn you bug!

hello blog world, so nice to be back!

i've been very sick the past few days which is why i've been slacking on the posting. last week a few of my students had been absent due to a stomach bug and on friday i thought i had done a good job of steering clear from it. saturday i felt so good i even ran 6 miles. yes 6 miles! but then that night my stomach started to feel a little funny and sunday that bug officially caught me:(

 i finally feel better today and i got back to my running(and blogging). 

now that i'm back in blogging mode i want to make a pretty blog header and katie from color me katie (who i think happens to be one of the most creative and inspiring people ever) is being so kind and letting me use one of her amazing photos.

what do you think?

now i just have to figure out how to do it:/

i also must tell you i just started reading "dear john" and i must finish before this weekend so i'll be m.i.a. again for a few days starting... now!

live in love

for awhile i've been trying to think of a good name for my blog and it finally just came to me and now i wonder why i didn't think of it sooner because this is my motto in life, live in love.

when most people think of love they think of their boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife but living in love means so much more than that. i define living in love by loving everything and everyone. having love for yourself, God, nature, life and people. i know it sounds kind of cheesy but can you imagine what our world would be like if everyone genuinely "loved their neighbor".

yeah its a crazy concept but its how i'm trying to live my life although its not easy, at all, because there are some people that make it very difficult to love them.

but all we can do is try, right?
