lots of changes, but still running

Over the past couple of weeks, I have bought a home, moved into the home and am still settling into the home. Other big purchases were made, things were placed and roommates replaced. One thing remains, running. It has stayed near by, that friend that helps me get through these sort of things. Always there, ready to go...
