"I think emptiness happens when you get to the place that you thought would make you happy and you discover it doesn't." - Pete Briscoe

This time of year I tend to take some time to reflect on what's been going on in my life over the past 12 months, and how that adds on to what's been going on in my life for the past few years. I will never stop being amazed by what God has pulled me through. I will never forget the feeling of emptiness I had as a Senior in high school when I watched a Jenny Craig commercial promising me that if I was just a little bit skinnier I would be filled with joy and self confidence. I weighed less than I ever had, and had dropped 6 pants sizes and still had nothing inside. I was a hopeless, empty pit. God has been so good to me, its taken four years but I'm actually getting around to the point where I am joyful because I am filled with Christ's love, I have confidence in the spirit that fills me, and I am totally happy with knowing that my body is healthy(and not stick skinny). This is new territory for me, I can't believe its taken me 22 years to get here!

On another note, I've been super lazy these past couple months and have not been training for my triathlon...BUT as soon as I'm at SBU I'm goin full force! I'm supper excited! I also got a subscription to Runner's World for Christmas that I can not wait to start reading...maybe a marathon is in my future. That's a BIG maybe, but I'm starting to think it could be fun.
