Sometimes, you can't really see until you take a couple steps back...Sometimes, we're so in the middle of something, that we fail to see the distance we've come. We've made so many strides forward, but because the scenery stays the same, we lose sight of all the progress we've made.
I've been biking a lot more lately. I've not biked a lot in the last few years, and I'm really enjoying getting back into it and being outside. What I notice, is how much better shape I am in than 2...3...5... years ago. I don't notice it day to day, but when I hit a trail that I had not been on since I lost all the weight, and wasn't the least bit winded...I realized what gains I've made.
I think it's important to sometimes go back to things we've done...try them again, and see where we are at...
Thoughts during a movie...I was watching a pretty poor movie tonight, "Kiss the Bride." I realized as I watched this movie, when you take a step back and look at relationships...they are nothing and never will be anything like the movies. (duh PJ)
- They can't be solved in 100 min.
- They aren't one big dramatic scene after another
- There isn't a person in the right and one in the wrong
- Problems take a while to manifest and to get resolved
- No one puts a cool soundtrack behind you while you are walking through the town, after a really dramatic moment...well, unless you are listening to your iPod.
Finally...When you take a step back, you can realize someone you didn't think made a big impression on you...did.
Laterz...

Pet shop boys!
Movie relationships are extremely simple imo.
If movie relationships were written as they are in the real world, well then we'd never be able to see the end of the flick. Which is why we watch movies to start with.
Anyway, I think this is why I have so many dreams about being my current age but working at an old job or being back in school...my subconscious is examining where I am in life...without my permission to boot!
