I didn’t go running and I didn’t track today, but I will do better tomorrow. I’ve been having a lot really great conversations with friends and I feel like God is telling me to embrace every moment, good and bad. Every experience we have, even the bad ones, we can reflect and see the purpose in it. Or we can at least look back and say we’ve learned something. When Ellison was laid off a few years ago, it was so hard. I had just had a baby and I had to go back to work immediately because our income now depended on me. There were times I thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown and I remember feeling like it was going to be forever. Ellison was out of work for two years. It was especially difficult because I couldn’t feel sorry for myself (Although, I did..A Lot) because I had a new son and my hubby’s heart was breaking after every job rejection he got. I share this because there was so much good that came out of that. My hubby stayed home with our son and created a bond that he normally wouldn’t have experienced. I felt compelled to get in shape because I was so miserable; I wanted to change what I knew I could.
Tonight I picked up my mom from the airport and I was remembering when I first came to NY. I look back at some of the things I’ve done and it just tickles me. That day felt so lonely and so scary but I got through it and now I call NYC home. I just feel incredibly grateful and I will cherish today with all my heart. Life is so beautiful and sometimes I live too much in what I want it to be but later reflect fondly on what it is/was. I need to live in the moment because it feels so great when I get to this place.
Tomorrow I will be mindful and I may go to a body conditioning class. This weekend is all about Tootsie, so everything revolves around what she wants to do.
