On Happiness
March 5, 2010 by Mitch Lewis · 1 Comment
I’ve been thinking a lot about happiness and being happy lately.
What does that really mean?
Is it when you’re walking down the hallways at work that your footsteps feel lighter? Is it when you’re running and the perfect song comes on and the words are meaningful and completely relevant? Is it when everything seems just right [...]
New year. New Goals
January 3, 2010 by Mitch Lewis · Leave a Comment
As in every other year since around 1987, I made up my list of goals and objectives for the coming year and revisited the list I made last year around New Years Eve. I’ve made it a personal habit not to share the list but wanted to reflect on some areas.

The day dawned clear and cold. We were at about 5,000′ and a group of us were about to set out on another adventure of running 26.2 miles just for the hell of it. The team included Kim, Chris, Pete, Jeremy, Doni (and Kimber) and other roomies at the Roseberry B&B in Susanville (built 1902).

This is what Kim said as we surveyed the broken running trails east of Campbell River in the middle of Vancouver Island BC. As part of a 3-hour training run in preparation for an upcoming marathon (Bizz Johnson in two weeks), a small group of us headed up here for a few days to [...]
Fabulous to Great – What’s in a name?

Since I have been going to the Pro Club gym here in Redmond, I’ve seen a guy working the locker room who just seems perpetually happy. Yesterday, after I finished running 3 miles and doing a pretty good upper body workout, I heard and saw him talking to another guy in the shower area. [...]
It's the little things and they all matter
July 29, 2009 by Mitch Lewis · Leave a Comment
So I’m driving home from work, consumed as usual with pressing matters and the fact that the car says it’s 109f outside and traffic is brutal. I see a motorcylcle in my rearview mirror while I am listening to – and singing along – to – The Fray, with the top down and aircon on. [...]
