At home, when I'm alone, I run the most. I’m most present when I draw which is odd because a long time ago I could easily get lost in the art but now I’m present most of the time.

I think, though, that you are doing all the right things to increase your chances of having "just being" moments, especially drawing and even writing this blog. I don't know how much of that you've been able to experience, but it is really wonderful to have these moments. Paul. Well, I’m sure you told Dr. D. that “just being” is easier said than done.

I think it's a strong move to make that decision for ourselves. I get what you mean though about not feeling as strong as you were in younger years. I think the fight wears at us and we give out faster. My plan though is not to give out completely. I hope that is your plan as well. Austin Hi Tricia,

I just can't. Sometimes I can't read certain posts on blogs or news articles. Like you said-- it hurts. I find as I get older I'm not as strong as I once was and it is harder to fight-- it is easier-- and far less painful, to just run. I hope by the time you get to be my age you will have conquered all your demons.
