Feeding Thy Self

Getting back on track… well, sort of.  I am getting my life back on track, is what i mean to say.  I didn’t weigh myself this morning (check mark).   I am currently waiting for my laundry to finish and have started to reorganize my house.  Yay, finally!  There is a pile of paper around me that needs attention.  O paper work.  But i am feeling positive and feel like i am emerging from deep layers of fatigue and disheveled-ness.  It’s all about the come-back.

After work today i bundled up and went for a run (45 mins) in the snow, along the water front, through the city park.  I got back just as the sun started to tuck away.  Blissful.  I felt like my day went to shit and that i got nothing done.  And then i decided to rethink that– and that my focus today was enjoying my run.  Not getting my run done… as if it is something on my list to check off… but just to seize the moment and enjoy this time, for what it is, breathing, deeply, in myself the only runner out there amongst dog walkers and winter coats, fresh, untouched snow… people shoveling the sidewalks.  Enjoy, this, now.… because it is what it is, and i will not have knees forever…. and i will not have the kind of life forever, where i can just choose to blow off the afternoon and focus my life on today’s run.  I am grateful for my run.
