Day 155 of 1000
This afternoon the rain let up. It was pretty warm outside and I love to run so out we, me and my dog Sally. We headed out for a 5 miler. Our 5 miler turned into a 6 miler, the rhythmic steps were feeling good for my brain I wanted the day to last. We would jog and then walk, jog and walk until my calf said no more jogging and then we walked home.
Walking takes more time than running does. I see more when I walk. I see a lot more when I stand still. I'm not thrilled that I couldn't keep running today, but maybe it was for the best. There was more time to ponder and see. Learning not to judge my body is more of a skill than my natural response.
Maybe what is on my to do list for 1000 days isn't what my heart really wants or needs. Today I walked, tomorrow maybe if I'm lucky I will get to walk again. Even if I could only go outside and stand- wouldn't it still be a gift?
Learning not to judge but to wonder and appreciate what shows up has magic.
Wishing you a day filled with wonder and unexpected blessings.
Denise
