  4. 1. I learned I can run a marathon; and that I don't know if I want to ever again.
    2. Myself. I felt like a failure after the run, but I'm letting go of that.
    3. That Alito is completely biased and no one probably can do a thing about it
    4. I made myself a milkshake; possibly the first one in 45 years. Raspberry vanilla. It was good.
    5. Talked to a member in the old man's running group whom I've never had a conversation before.

  8. 1: What did you learn this week? That I can no longer safely drive in the dark while it is raining.
    2: Have you forgiven anyone this week? Not really. However, rarely a week go by that I don't have at least one thought about "someone that I used to know." i.e. past friends and acquaintances that have left my life completely. I never stop wondering "why?"
    3: What have you seen this week that made you go "wow!" The surprise lavender Floxglove plant that popped up in a very unexpected place in my yard for the first time. It's beautiful. Nature is amazing.
    4: Have you tasted anything new this week? Yes. I tried a new cocktail (shocked, right?)
    5: Have you reached out to anyone new this week? Does Grindr count? (I kid.) Ummm...no one new, unless you count a medical receptionist I don't recall talking to before.
