New Sense

My life for the last few weeks has been in the ‘;’ phase. Not really zooming past, not really stationary. It has been as though something has been weighing me down, making me wait before moving on.

It will be unfair to say that nothing interesting happened in the last few weeks. Having a good look and rediscovering your priorities… how bout reevaluating your beliefs, they dont sound all that uninteresting do they.

Life has become like a tiger, waiting in the banks for the right time to make that dash to attack the prey. The wait has taken too long but you just know deep down that any moment now things will get exciting all over again.

I of course did not realize that life was slipping into this phase. Before I knew it I was in the middle of it and like a first time swimmer in a three foot deep pool, I kept struggling without knowing that I wasnt exactly drowning.

I recently told my colleague that the only thing in my life right now that is perfect is that I run. I decided to run that will be organized at the end of the next month and that has kept me going since. My training has kept my mind sane and focused… (more on that later)

Anyway, this weekend i will be travelling again after almost 3 months. I just know deep down that I need this… Its time… Time to come out of the striped grass and run after something with all my heart

As I stood on the sidewalk and looked up at the sky, a sight greeted me… A sight that I hadnt taken time out of my otherwise useless days to acknowledge. The sky was cloudy with the imminent possibility of rain, the scattered sunlight from the sun, now close to the horizon, made the silhouette even more beautiful.

I had driven on this road over a million times in the past 25 years, I had walked it a few times but never ran it. Suddenly the overwhelming urge to run once on it overcame me, combined with the fear that I probably had very little time to do it in, almost had me in tears.

The pleasure of driving this stretch is simply unexplainable. Even on the hottest days, the beauty of a green cover made the drive soothing. I remember that on rainy days the trees almost acted like an umbrella and the cool wind left one no choice but to love and admire mother nature.

My hosting package for my website expires in little over a week. I have been contemplating over the past month if I should renew the package or move to another hosting provider.

My current hosting is with DreamHost, it has been about 3 years with them and I cant say I have too many complaints. I have always liked thier quick response and have seen very little down time. Till now the offers were very tempting and it made sense to hold onto the account, but with the recession the offers have died and it would actually work out to move to other hosting providers.

Currently I have 3 websites running in the webspace and a photo gallery app. Moving them to another site would definately take time and effort.

If you have any suggestions about what to do or about the performance of other hosting providers (or even dreamhost), do let me know.
