Oxford Street

Nothing to exciting has happened since I last updated on Monday.  Just the usual work day followed by a evening work out.  I have to say I hope this pattern continues.  Today I opted out of going to the gym and decided to go for a run through The Heights.  For those of you that don't know The Heights is a part of Houston filled with unique restaurants, boutiques and large historic homes.  The trail I run takes me by some of the most amazing houses I have ever seen.  These massive million dollar homes are beautiful with their perfect yards and amazing architecture.  Running by these homes is enough to get my thoughts to what it would be like to live in those homes.  The owners seem to have the perfect life with their beautiful homes, fancy cars and picture perfect families.  That's when I stop to remind myself what seems perfect on the outside is not always the case.  The people living in these homes aren't immune to disease, heart break or any of the many other things that hurt the human race.  So when I find myself day dreaming of what it would be someone else I remind myself at the end of the day I wouldn't want any other life then the one I have and to count my blessings.   Although I may be running back to my apartment on Oxford Street its an apartment filled with pictures of the people I care about most, my bible by my bed to guide me each day, a cell phone that rings with calls from people that love me, clothes ready to be worn for my next care free night out and others for a day at the office. Gods blessings surround me here,  so for now I will stick to the adventures and wonderful life I live on Oxford Street.....
