Good To Share on Cinco de Mayo



"We tend to pursue happiness by trying to obtain things we lack. That's an iffy proposition, and it focuses all our attention on our own neediness. If we don't get what we want, we may end up feeling victimized, which predisposes us to anger and depression. Kindness and helpfulness, by contrast, generate positive circumstances from within. They give us a sense of efficacy we can't get from trying to control all the forces that impact our lives. Moreover, helping others tends to create one of the most powerful psychological conditions known to humankind: gratitude."

BIM 2011 : Half Marathon - Done and Dusted.

By virtue of completing my first ever half marathon and earning myself a finisher's medal, I hereby bestow upon myself bragging rights for one year and ... erm, hereby promise I will try better in the next run!

It wasn't as bad as I expected :)

Sweet!

Yeay! Let me savour the moment, don't burst my bubble!
