Contradictions

I've been posed with a moral and societal dilemma this week. If you think about human nature we are taught two contradicting values. One is to believe in the human spirit and the other is to not trust just anyone easily (especially as a female). Isn't believing in the human spirit trusting that our overall intentions are for the best?

With that in mind, the other night I was out with some of my friends and we met this couple. They seemed nice enough so we gave them some time and attention. A couple of days later they got a hold of us and invited us out for a day at the lake on their boat. I want to trust that their intentions are right but at the same time I have red flags not to trust them. I just met them - I literally know nothing about them. So of course we declined the invitation but that led me to this question. Were they really just being genuine and generous, or was their intent selfish and malicious? I'll never know but it is interesting that these two values are widely accepted and completely in conflict with each other...

Perhaps I'm over analyzing this situation...BUT when it comes down to it I don't think I'm over analyzing the values we are taught to accept...

AND I'll leave you with that for now!! ;)

Catching Up

I've noticed lately that life and time seem to be slipping away from me faster than I can comprehend. It happens almost every summer but each year it seems to slip by faster than the previous one. So much has happened in the last month I thought I would sit down and jot out some of the highlights.

Megan turned 5 and I officially decided that though she may be getting older I am not!!

I took a 4 day trip to Las Vegas with Eric that was relaxing and expensive, but overall necessary and fun.

Over the 4th of July weekend I decided less than 24 hours before the start of a 5k race to run in it...Not to overstate the obvious but I wasn't mentally prepared for this race nor was I adequately trained to run and somehow, surprisingly finished first place in my age group (Female 20-29) and ran close to a personal record time wise.

I turned in my 2 weeks notice at Hacienda Colorado for many reasons and I'm now gamefully unemployed...AND actively looking again. Send me your hook-ups if you have any:).

Those are just the highlights, but with that said and done the summer is already half way over, I'm less than 6 months away from turning 30 and trying desperately to figure out how to stop the hands of time!:) Any suggestions...?
