"For each new morning with it's light, for rest and shelter of the night, for health and food, for love and friends, for everything thy goodness sends." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
I really liked this quote that I found this morning. It reminds me to be thankful to God for all the blessings in my life. Lately I have been very blind to all the things in my life that I should be grateful for. I have been incredibly self-absorbed and wallowing in my own imaginary sorrow. Although I am a believer that you can be content whatever the circumstances, I also believe you can be discontent whatever the circumstances. Even though it seems like you have "all you ever needed/wanted" it very well may not be what you indeed needed/wanted. On the outside your life may seem to be fine and dandy but if you aren't happy I believe that you need to take that a sign to change something in your life. I'm not talking about big life-altering changes, just changes. Even small ones will make a difference.
Ok, so the reason for the title is that on November 1st I am going to try running again for the first time since I believe mid September. Yikes. I am super excited and also really nervous. Will I hurt? How far will I go? Am I going to be able to train appropriately? But you know what, all of that doesn't matter. I will be running and that is a very, very good thing right about now.
