I was watching 'Forrest Gump' the other day, and it struck me when he said, "Now you wouldn't believe me if I told you, but I could run like the wind blows. From that day on, if I was going somewhere, I was running!" The mind is the greatest medicine... I may not be the fastest runner out there, nor the skinniest, nor can I run ultra distances (yet) in fact I'm pretty darn average... but what is miraculous is the transformation that has been happening in my life since I've started running. I've been able to gain some serious clarity on situations that felt very stifling, and really just sucking the heart out of me. It's given me the empowerment to walk away from people/situations that aren't supportive to daily joy. I've been feeling bliss on a daily basis. Really.. genuine joy. That is a miracle. This time last year I was so lost and hurting... I couldn't stop drinking and lying to everyone about it. I hated my life, and who I had become. Putting up a front, and pretending to be a shiny stone when inside my heart was cement. I'm so grateful for not just running, but for this time I've had to embrace my weekly routine, and begin to grow roots. I'm starting to make real genuine friends here, and I really love my job. I adore my son, and I do believe (at least today) I was a really good example of the type of person I'd like my son to be. So, for this day I give props and gratitude. I know that it's an un-ending process.. just really glad I've realized that in my life I really run like the wind blows... and I'm not going to let anyone slow me down! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
