Running Encouragement... Blog Encouragement?

Well, I can't seem to find the boost I need to keep up with my blog, but I do want to share two great blogs that will help you keep up with your healthy lifestyle!

Fit Chick in the City

and

Skinny Runner

I spent all weekend reading their posts all the way back to January! Both blogs are encouraging and helpful! I enjoyed every moment and can't get enough of their posts! I would like to say that my running keeps me from posting, but I don't log near the miles these ladies do!

Too Long - Still Inspired

It has been way tooo long since my last post... During summer it was easy to keep up with this and to keep up with my photography. Now with school I get so busy grading papers, preparing lessons, attending small town functions, and READING so many amazing books I never seem to be able to sit down to post. (Currently reading The Host, The Strange Case of Origami Yoda ; ) and The Five Love Languages.)

I will post more updates of what has been keeping me so busy lately... first I would like to share this awe inspiring artist that is working on 50 State Dresses, amazing work and photography. The Willow Creek Dress in Wyoming is AMAZING!

It may come in unusual ways ; )

Another Blog I am Addicted to!

Check out the blog "The Fit Collegiate" 

Wow, I wish I could have eaten like her my freshman year of college! Ha! 

Spent way too much time looking at all her meals and then researching different food items. During my freshman year of college it was all Chick-Fil-A and Freebirds' burritos! Oh well trying to eat good now! Does anyone have suggestions for good "healthy eating" type blogs?

Blogs I am Addicted to : )

I am truly addicted to these blogs:

Gnome Sweet Gnome
Inspires me to be the crafty mom type one day!

and

Style for Style
Inspires me to start crafty projects around the house!

I have stayed up just looking at their old posts!
You should be following them!

Thoughts on Bloggers

I randomly look at other blogs and take in all there is to see... I truly enjoy looking at other people's pictures due to my curiosity. Pictures may not tell the whole story, but they are the window into a world.

After wondering around I noticed a few things that blog writers have in common:

- they are curious
- they are hopeful
- want to matter
- restless
- creative
- different, or want to be
- want to connect
- want away from the normal
- think they have something to say
- travelers, and not always in the physical sense
- thinkers
- more than the norm

It takes a certain type of person to want to blog and that is someone that wants to be "different" and noticed.

I myself fall into that category, life is good however how far can we take it?
