Evening, all!
Such a grand day this has been! It began with a quick four mile run, and truthfully I have been running ever since! (And by the way - that's not a bad thing! ;o) )
Speaking of fitness, dear hubby routinely bikes between seventy five to one hundred miles a week right now. After a recent time trial, he wrote on Facebook, "Rode the time trial tonight.... drum roll please..... 20.02MPH! Goal attained.
Though I'm sure I'm getting stronger, I'm finding that there was more in(side me) all along. There's a spiritual lesson in there for all of us. You can handle more than you think you can. I shaved 24 seconds off my last best time, not in a huge push, but in little consistent improvements and mental discipline along the whole route."
Wise words from a wise man that can be applied to ALL aspects of life!
All three of my kids are gunning to do the "Kids' Iron Man" next summer. They'll do it too!
As for me, I am going to be racing in my first race ever in about four weeks. All I can do is train the best I can and leave the rest to God. My son asked, "Mom, will you train for a half-marathon after this?" "Why not?" I thought! Why not!?
Go GOD! You are our everything!
Life is a blast when you take care of the body God gave you because everything just feels better, operates better, and filters better (including emotions and thought patterns!)
I trust you are being a wise steward of the body God has given you. Death ends all opportunity to sow, so I encourage you to make wise choices that lead to greater dimensions of life!
I recently read a quote from a poet I'd like to share with you:
"I don't want to get to the end of my life
and find that I have just lived the length of it.
I want to have lived the width of it as well."
Amen!
Happy living, everyone!
Deborah
