Returning close to the birthplace of my last name.

The Loutitt name has been traced back to the Orkney Islands
of Scotland and I do almost feel a little closer to home by
coming to Ireland.

On this day we traveled from the west coast of Ireland to
Dublin on the east and then took a ferry over to Wales. A
little sad that we didn't get to run in Ireland (our team
of four) but I know there are many more countries to come.

We had the day off from running and so I couldn't justify not taking my day totally off from running as I normally work in a day off every three weeks and the timing was perfect.

Poem of the Day:

The said to us
that blight is made from fright
That a thirst for life is sometimes
Sought in escape

We were told to relax from
someone we believed to be free
and in the telling realized we all need

On hearing the differences in peoples words
We are drawn to their story
On listening to my need to listen
I am drawn to your story

Before they left they told me so
That I was considered to be amongst
The laughing souls who dance with life
The laughing souls who need not be right
and so it was that my dance became light,
That my thirst was quenched and my spirit
did laugh because for any joy

From this place, my home where I tread
Is a place you can always call home
