Hiccups come in all shapes and sizes when it comes to achieving goals.  Death is no acception.  In the past month I have lost two people.  One was an old childhood friend I had lost contact with, and one was one who had accepted me with open arms and a great deal of love and enthusiasm into the SCA.

Both of these hurt and have taken me down the last two days.  The sadness wells behind my eyes and in my heart so heavy it feels like I'm carrying an extra 50 pounds in weights.

I paused - I thought for one day.  It turned into two. 

I have 7000 steps to record - so I will put that here now - and tomorrow I will begin again.  The sad may take me down, but I have no desire to join my friends in their graves - I need to get healthy to be here for the living.

Current distance to Disneyland = 22,000 steps currently 2,016,000 steps to go.

Tomorrow brings a new day.
