I have a really hard time believing that it has been a month since the first HCC meeting. A ton of things have taken place, and changes have been made, and while I would like to think that they have all been for the better, some have not.
I went to Mass today. This isn't confession, but to tell the truth, it has been a few weeks since I went to Sunday Mass. I have been to Saturday Mass, but to actually get out of bed, and go on Sunday has been a struggle. I don't have a workout until 2:30, so I have been staying at home trying to take care of home stuff, doing meal plans, and convincing myself that I need to rest. I can be pretty convincing at times, believe you me! This last month I have been learning eat better to nourish my body, I have been exercising to strengthen my body, but somewhere along the line, I forgot to nourish and strengthen my spirit. It was so good to sing, and pray, and believe that all that I have, and can do, and can become, is a gift. I haven't taken the time to be thankful, and live in gratitude for all that I have, for a month. I went to Mass today, and am better. I had somehow forgotten what Janis said at the first meeting, "We walk by faith, and not by sight".....
I did not go to the 2:30 work out today. I went for a walk instead. Where we live there are miles, and miles of walking paths, including one that is directly out my front door. The loop that we follow is 3.5 miles, and it circles our neighborhood. Maddie, Brianna, and baby Landree went with me. It was a brisk walk , and I am pleased to admit, I wasn't out of breath the way I was the last time I did the trail. The pavement is pretty uneven so we were concerned that Lanee would suffer from shaken baby syndrome by the time we got home. I think Bria called it the Oregon trail a couple of times, and if you don't pay attention, some of the pavement reaches up and grabs your shoe, causing you to trip. It was a good work out, and it felt good to breathe.
I have a work out at 6:00 tomorrow and have a new bag of apples to celebrate with, so here we go again....
