Thoughts from the treadmill

• Sheryl Crow was wrong; if it makes you happy it can be that bad, and the first cut isn't always the deepest.
• There are days when things are just awful at work, with my family, and my love life and I feel like I'm isolated and can't talk to the only person who I can really talk to, but my Heavenly Father is always patiently waiting to listen.
• The media portrays Wall Street (and pretty much everything else) so poorly.  A vast majority of the population has the wrong idea about traders.
• The heart can be broken more than one ever imagines.
• There are people to whom I'd really like to give a piece of my mind, and it's probably a good thing they live 3000 miles away.  I still might, next time I see them.
• I am absolutely floored people twenty years my senior still behave as though they were in high school.  Completely astounding.
• Few things in life are better than being behind the wheel with an open road, blaring the music and singing at the top of your lungs.
• I am such an advocate of mental therapy, whether it's going to the gym or speaking with someone who's licensed.  
• Men are selfish.
• I'm so lucky to have found some very true girlfriends in New York, even if it took a while.
• God really hears my prayers.
• There is always more to a situation than one can perceive, and it's incredible some don't understand that.
• There will always be people who hurt me.
• There will always be people who help me put myself back together.
• At the end of the day, you can't rely on anyone else to take care of you forever.  One must always have the capability to take care of ones self, even if one doesn't always have to apply those abilities at the moment.
• Coldplay is genius.
• One day I might get pushed enough to the edge that I might swear at some traders, and I'm pretty confident I'll get some applause.  Everyone's just waiting for the nice Mormon girl to crack.
• I'm really lucky that even though I live in a super liberal area, my work environment is very conservative and respectful of my standards, and despite the fact that I work with a bunch of lushes, if I ever succumbed to having a drink everyone would get really mad at me (not that I would, but I like the fact that even my non-member colleagues would keep me in check.  And I know, just because someone's liberal doesn't mean they're not respectful or supportive.  I'm just happy to be around people with similar points of view.)
• I never thought I could run at 7.0 for a whole song.  Apparently I was wrong.  I hate running, but for some reason I keep trying.
• I'm constantly surprised at how easily my blood boils when it comes to someone thinking negatively about a family member.  I never considered myself the protective type, but it turns out I am.
• It's weird when one day you realize you're better at some things than your parents.
