Taking It In Stride
Taking It In Stride My lungs would not expand enough to sate my needs. What little air could be gasped was heavy and burned my throat in the cold morning darkness. The thermostat had read 5 degrees Fahrenheit when I pulled the door closed behind me. Music playing in my ears, more to drown out the bitter winter wind than to fill the silence. …almost there… My footing gives a little under my weight…

Heading out for a late lunch, early dinner. Sitting at the table watching the EL go by. #lifeasaprojectmanager #Chicago #BeingPartofTheWorld #joydiary #lastnightawayfromhome #damniamhungry (at Good Stuff Eatery)
Wandering around Chicago to just be a part of the world. Regardless of where you may be, exist in the moment. #reflection #joydiary #Chicago #BeingPartofTheWorld #exploring #nightlife (at Chicago, Illinois)
My morning view from the hotel before I headed off to the office. With everything going on, I reflect on how thankful I am for all the people who touch my life. No matter where you are in the world, you have the ability to touch someone's life in a positive way. Good morning, Chicago. #joydiary #Chicago #friendship #family #reflection #saturdayWorkDay #whataview (at Chicago, Illinois)
Another day in Chicago and heading to the office. I didn't get to run this morning. I should have but we worked quite late. Off to continue me our project and hopefully have a successful completion. #Chicago #saturdayWorkDay #ProjectManagersWorkIsNeverDone #joydiary #selfie (at Chicago, Illinois)
Earlier tonight, I took a few moments out to do my first evening 5k race. As the sun set and the pathway became dark, we lined up and turned on our headlamps. The night was the coldest this season and I could see my breath. The run was to bring awareness to a food pantry, a cause I fully support. In November my publishing company will be doing an event to also bring awareness and donations to a Festus, Missouri food pantry in conjunction with Books Galore. But for tonight, I ran in the dark and felt the cold air on me as I came in 35 out of 206 participants (race time of 26:10). My time was a little longer but it wasn't a chipped event. Overall, a fun race. #race #running #joydiary #activelife #runner #harvestmoon5k #fighthunger (at Route 66 State Park)
One of the things I enjoy when cycling is how the world slows down just a little and new things, normally missed, are brought into view. The pace in which we go through life blurs the world around us and reduces it to visual white noise. Cycling slows the world and brings the blue into focus. #cycling #bike #bikelife #activelife #joydiary #discovery #thoughtoftheday
Two weeks from tomorrow, my story, "The Mai'tas Prophecy" will come out in this anthology. I can't wait to see this final book as it has some amazing authors in the table of contents. #books #writing #reading #anthologies #horror #shortstories #joydiary #youcandoanything
