In like a lion?

Is that the saying about March, in like a lion, out like a lamb? I hope it turns out to be true because we've been having some crazy winter weather and I just can't wait for spring.

On Saturday, I got the one goal in soccer (woo hoo!) even though we ended up losing, and I got a goal in ball hockey last night, which was also exciting because it's really not a familiar sport to me- I only started in the fall.

I'm hoping to get back into running, at least running once a week on top of sports, because in April I have a lot in a short time. One Saturday night I have a playoff game for soccer, the next morning, a half-marathon (that I have yet to sign up for...oops...), then that Thursday will be the CN Tower Climb for WWF Canada (that's world wildlife fund, not wrestling, heheh). That's right, I'm doing the climb again, all 1,776 steps, and hoping to beat my time from 2009. I have to, because I'm competing with a friend from work:)

The City is putting on a poetry contest in which the chosen poems will be displayed on the city buses for awhile. Isn't that exciting? I'd really like to enter one, but we'll see...I'm so picky in choosing poems to enter in things, but I find the idea charming.

Lately, I've been coming across the same concept more than once, through a blog, a sermon at church- it's the idea of dreaming big, and praying big, and not being afraid to pray for what is on our hearts. It's a challenge to me, because so often I think I can't bother God with those things, when really it should be my first response. That's what I'm thinking of these days.

Life is so busy right now, but it's also the time that I'm trying to make some fairly significant decisions regarding education, community involvement, etc. Wait, this sounds familiar, have I said that before? (heheh) So I sound like a broken record sometimes. It happens. Anyways, these things take time to sort out, so much time that I am hopeful the end result will be something happy, something that months of work and research and wrestling with ideas and my own mind will pay off in terms of something just right.

Sound vague? I know. It is. I'd love to share more but something keeps holding me back. Fear? Indecision? A strong sense of privacy? Maybe a bit of all of those. Isn't a blog supposed to be a forum for sharing? Maybe I'd better figure out once and for all what my point is with this blog.

In the meantime, I'll keep rambling... thanks for your patience...

Thanks for the encouraging words, Nat and Haj:)
Haji, I can't see your blog anymore, you're right...I thought maybe you didn't want me to read it and I didn't want to say anything if it would be awkward ;) I'd love to keep up with it though, if it's okay:)
