Mr. Murphy,
I wanted to thank you for your post earlier today. I noticed that you have deleted it, but it gave me a lot of food for thought today while I was on my run. It got me to thinking about different commitments I have made in my life to family, friends, God, community, etc. and the terms of those commitments. Sometimes I feel that I get the short end of the stick and have no control of my life. But after things blow over, I always end up feeling glad things are as they are.
Feel free to post those kinds of comments any time. I love thinking deeply about things when I am on a long run.

I'm sad I missed whatever it was you wrote. I appreciate your missives.

Thanks for the comments Jon and Eva. The initial comment was just me venting frustration at the fact that I too often let other people's agendas, schedules, and priorities dictate how I spend my time. I deletedit because I felt it sounded whiny and my mom reads my blog and I don't want her to think I'm sad :-)

Knowing that your mom reads your blog stokes my hope for the world. And that your respect for her affects your behavior just adds more charm to the whole thing. Mad respect, Rob.
