Since my last post I have been to: Hagerstown, MD; Roanoke, VA; Springfield, OH; Toledo, OH; Bloomington, IN; Wheeling, WV; and Lexington, KY.
I have been doing pretty well in keeping up with working out. I went two days in a row while we were in Toledo, and have been to the gym every day that I can here (I don't work out on load in days). Today I will be cheating and will be going ice skating instead of to the gym, but it's still exercise right? I will still do some push ups and crunches later tonight.

In the interest of self punishment which I decide to put myself through every few years, I have taken up reading the tome War and Peace. So far, I have been enjoying it and came across this quote that got me thinking. In the tome it is said, "We don't love people so much for the good they have done us, as for the good we have done them." I truthfully am not sure how much I agree with the quote. I feel that there are many people in my life that I love because of how they have been there for me through the years, and even if I have been able to help them as well, I love them for how they have helped me.
Though, I can also see the quote being true. If someone just kept doing something for me, with me never giving anything back in return, I feel myself (and humans in general), would begin to feel entitled to the good, and not love the person. We would get a sense of entitlement to the person, forgetting that they also have needs and wants, and begin to take advantage of them. I would love to hear my friends take on this quote? Do you agree, disagree, or are likewise undecided?
