Mind Frame

I think I am going to write a book. Soon.

There are three stages of running a runner always experiences.. The air beneath in his feet, The sound of him breathing in his chest, The throb in his head and finally, The mind over matter stage. That's four stages. Not three. (Began running after nearly 5 years today and am glad its a beginning)

So a friend shared a list that made me weep and howl for the lack of check marks I could have put against it. None the less. For the benefit of those in Oman and nations even further away, here is a list of places that I need to check in soon. In random order.

Not all of us live second lives. Hoping the rain falls tomorrow and its prettier that what it was today - for real.  

Life before Death is more important than Life after Death. Education that redeems the mind to be free is what is true education rather than what binds it to aspire for it. That is Water.

Everyone has objectives.  Mine are kept to a 5 month period.  However for 2013, I have these ahead of me. Shoot over 100 images I am proud of.  Write a minimum 8 posts a month here. I surely can do better. Have a meal with someone different every month and learn something over a conversation. Nothing can teach one more than listening to another over food. Write letters - old fashioned I know but its the best way to speak. To whom? That is a good question. Go back and frame all my stamps in a showcase worthy fashion. Over 5000 stamps is no joke.
