April 15

I am still shaken from the Boston Marathon Bombing.  Three people have been killed, and one hundred and seventy people have been injured. I can not fathom the pain the family, and the individuals are going through as of the moment. 

The day after the event my boyfriend asked me if I wanted to still wanted to do a half marathon.  To be honest, I still do. This type of situation can happen anywhere, any time.  We as people can not let this fear take over.

Today, I listened to Incubus's "Drive".  It was the song I just needed.  My favorite line is, "And I cant help but ask myself how much I'll let the fear take the wheel and steer".  To be honest, with the bombing, and this song I did realize I have been living in fear.  Not exactly, in fear for this situation but just in life, work, etc. This attack made me open my eyes a little more, and is making me want to enjoy a life a little bit more.  Hopefully, you can turn this experience into a positive one.
